Semiannual Report

Performance Overview

Note to shareholders: The tragic events of September 11, 2001, unfolded shortly after the end of the period covered by this report. On behalf of everyone at Fidelity Investments, I extend our deepest condolences to those whose lives were touched by these senseless acts. While it is uncertain what effect these events will have going forward, our financial markets - like America itself - historically have responded quite well to major negative events such as we have experienced. Fidelity remains confident about the strength and stability of America's economy and the companies in it.

Despite repeated efforts by the federal government to re-energize the slowing U.S. economy during the past six months, equity markets continued to decline. For most of the period, the threat of recession - typically defined as at least two consecutive quarters of a decline in gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the amount of goods, services and investment produced - was mitigated by strong consumer spending, a significant component of GDP. But as the period wore on, consumer confidence trended lower, and GDP rose at just a 0.2% annual rate for the second quarter of 2001, the slowest pace in more than eight years. At the same time, the number of workers drawing unemployment climbed to the highest level in nearly nine years. Reaction to the weak economic news sent the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM  - an index of 30 blue-chip companies - down below the 10,000 mark for the first time since early April. For the overall six-month period, the Dow slipped 4.34%. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market-capitalization weighted index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks - declined 7.97%, while the technology-rich NASDAQ Composite® Index lost 15.97%.

From a historical perspective, it's worth noting that the Select Portfolios marked their 20th anniversary in July of 2001. When the first Selects were launched in July 1981, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate was almost 17%, the annual inflation rate was more than 8% and the Dow stood at 948. At the close of the most recent six-month period, the same mortgage rate was approximately 7%, the inflation rate was only about 3% and the Dow stood at more than 9,000 points. Over the past 20 years, the Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio was the top performing fund in the mutual fund industry, according to Lipper Inc. To hear audio clips of recent market insights from some of our Select portfolio managers, log on to Fidelity.com/select.

Turning to more recent performance, 27 of the 40 Select equity portfolios in existence for at least six full months outperformed the S&P 500® during the past six months. Meanwhile, 24 of the Portfolios topped their respective Goldman Sachs indexes. Our best performer was Select Paper and Forest Products, which gained 14.47%. Select Networking and Infrastructure posted the lowest return, falling 35.27%. Select Pharmaceuticals was introduced in June 2001.

While all five of our consumer sector-related offerings outperformed the broader market, four trailed their Goldman Sachs index. Food and Agriculture topped both benchmarks, but slower consumer and advertising expenditures held back the returns of Consumer Industries, Leisure and Multimedia. Retailing also was down, as many consumers put off higher-end discretionary purchases.

On a more positive note, all 11 of our cyclical sector Portfolios beat the S&P 500®, and nine topped their Goldman Sachs index. Paper and Forest Products had the highest return, reflecting positive supply/demand trends and high merger and acquisition activity. Lower mortgage and interest rates kept housing demand strong, boosting the return of Construction and Housing. The positive outlook for construction industries also helped the heavy equipment company stocks in Industrial Equipment. Attractive financing and rebate offers drove higher-than-expected auto sales, a plus for Select Automotive. Industrial Materials benefited as aluminum makers cut excess capacity in the face of prohibitively high power costs, bringing the market for aluminum back into balance. Transportation got a lift via improved fundamentals for railroad and trucking stocks. Cyclical Industries benefited from the sector's low valuations and strong current earnings, which also helped Chemicals outperform its benchmarks. Declining airline operating profits were detrimental to the returns of both Air Transportation and Defense and Aerospace, while the poor performance of its largest individual holding contributed to Environmental's negative return.

Some segments of financial services responded well to lower interest rates, but others felt the negative impact of slower trading and equity offerings. Home Finance was our best performer here, spurred by lower mortgage and refinancing rates. The attractive relative earnings of insurers led to index-beating performance for Insurance. Banking's return was lower, but it too beat its benchmarks. However, Brokerage and Investment Management and Financial Services both declined along with equity markets and a credit slowdown, in which lenders first cut back on loan availability, followed by a falloff in credit demand.

Health care was disappointing. Major drug makers, traditionally steady growers in a slumping economy, experienced a number of company-specific problems that detracted from the returns of our Health Care and Pharmaceuticals Portfolios. Biotechnology also suffered as investors shied away from most forms of future growth in favor of current earnings, a sentiment that favored Medical Equipment and Systems. Medical Delivery beat its benchmarks given the defensive nature of its holdings.

Absolute performance for the natural resources sector generally was disappointing. Rising output and lower prices for oil and natural gas held back the returns of Energy Service, Natural Resources and Energy. Meanwhile, Select Gold - an underperformer in recent reporting periods - advanced more than 12% thanks to the stable price of the precious metal.

Although technology companies continued to report poor earnings, six of our seven tech-related Select Portfolios outperformed the Goldman Sachs Technology Index. Astute stock picking led to a positive return for Electronics. A growing trend toward outsourcing in the tech sector was a plus for Business Services and Outsourcing. While Software and Computer Services had a negative return, a conservative stock-picking approach enhanced relative performance. Still, across-the-board weakness in tech spending resulted in double-digit losses for our Technology, Computers, Developing Communications and Networking and Infrastructure Portfolios.

The utilities and, particularly, the telecommunications sectors experienced a number of difficulties related to over-investment in the 1998-2000 time frame, including excess capacity, declining demand growth and sharply reduced cash flows. In the natural gas sector, stock prices rose, then fell dramatically as a shortage of the commodity developed before being alleviated by increased production and conservation. As a result, each of our four Portfolios representing these industries - Wireless, Telecommunications, Utilities Growth and Natural Gas - lost at least 14% for the six-month period.

In the pages that follow, you'll find detailed summaries for each of the Select Portfolios. We hope that you find them informative and useful for evaluating your investments. Thank you very much for your continued interest in the Fidelity Select Portfolios.

Sincerely,

/s/ William R. Ebsworth

Cumulative Total Returns

For the six months ended August 31, 2001

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns include changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains but do not include Select's 3% sales charge, and certain fees paid by shareholders upon exchange or redemption. Figures for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks, include reinvestment of dividends. S&P 500 is a registered trademark of Standard & Poor's. All performance numbers are historical; each equity fund's share price and return will vary and shareholders may have a gain or loss when they sell their shares. If FMR had not reimbursed certain fund expenses for some of the funds, those returns would have been lower.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Consumer Industries Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $32,917 - a 229.17% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

John Porter, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Consumer Industries Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, John?

A. During the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -2.84%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - fell 2.56%. The fund outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index's return of -7.97% for the same period. During the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -0.99%, falling short of the 2.13% return of the Goldman Sachs index, but outperforming the -24.39% return of the S&P 500 index.

Q. What drove the fund's performance relative to the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. I remained cautious about the state of the U.S. economy. From a historical perspective, consumer spending didn't decrease as much as it had in previous economic downturns, and I felt it would decline further at some point. As a result of this concern and the high valuations of many large-cap retailers, I underweighted retail stocks due to their cyclically sensitive nature. This strategy offered mixed results. Business slowed markedly for many retailers, particularly those in the apparel and department store businesses, and their stocks suffered. However, home improvement and some specialty store stocks performed better than I expected. Other strategies also combined to keep the fund on par with its Goldman Sachs index. In particular, strong stock selection and an overweighting in both personal products and consumer electronics boosted performance. A higher exposure to underperforming advertising stocks, however, offset those gains. While there were some pockets of strong performing consumer stocks, the sector's negative absolute return had much to do with the market's recognition of further weakness in the economy.

Q. Why have consumer industries stocks held up better during the recent economic slowdown than the broader market?

A. In a word - earnings. Although we've seen a softening of corporate earnings growth for most parts of the sector, earnings for consumer industries have been much more stable than other areas of the market. Wal-Mart, for example, is in an industry that is more susceptible to economic weakness than other consumer sectors. Wal-Mart has experienced slowing sales, but its earnings growth rate has been sustained at a level much better than we are seeing in the overall market. In other consumer areas that are more defensive, such as household products, the earnings trends have been significantly stronger than the broader market.

Q. What has been the most difficult part of managing this fund during the past six months?

A. I've had a relatively consistent investment strategy that included being underweighted in retail, neutral-to-modestly overweighted in media, and overweighted in more defensive consumer staples. That said, the broad market dynamics were anything but stable during the period, and this instability disrupted my approach. There was an unusual rapid rotation, as industries within the sector moved in and out of favor on a month-to-month basis. Investor sentiment frequently switched between hope for an imminent economic recovery and concern about the depth of the current economic downturn.

Q. What stocks stood out as top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Top contributor Best Buy, a consumer electronics retailer, appreciated more than 47% on strong second-quarter earnings guidance from the company. Beauty products manufacturer Avon, one of the fund's largest holdings, met Wall Street's second-quarter earnings target and its shares rose roughly 9%. On the down side, investors reacted unfavorably to Walt Disney's high exposure to economically sensitive businesses - such as theme parks and hotels. Elsewhere, top detractor CVS fell roughly 18% during a single day in June when it warned of lower second-quarter earnings due to an industry-wide shortage of pharmacists.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I believe the economy will continue to bump along with modest growth, despite the Fed's efforts, and things may get worse before they get better. To that end, more pressure may be put on the consumer in the coming months. The key variable I'm watching is job growth, which has consistently declined during the past year. If the job market stabilizes, then the consumer may feel a lot better about spending. However, for that to occur, I believe we'll need to see corporate profits start to improve. Unfortunately, improving corporate profits may take more cost-cutting - in the form of layoffs - which is necessary for firms to become more efficient, allowing growth to resume and economically sensitive stocks to recover. Turning to the fund, I believe its current defensive positioning could be beneficial should the economic uncertainty persist.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Food and Agriculture Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $31,098 - a 210.98% increase on the initial investment. For comparison - look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Gail Lese, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Food and Agriculture Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Gail?

A. It performed well on both an absolute and relative basis. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 3.18%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - declined 2.56% during the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 20.55%, while the Goldman Sachs index rose 2.13% and the S&P 500 fell 24.39%.

Q. What factors helped the fund outperform its benchmarks?

A. When I invest in companies, I spend a lot of time analyzing the fundamentals of companies and focus on three significant factors: vision, leadership and valuation. Vision and the ability to execute on it are paramount. Additionally, valuation is very important. With those factors in mind, I was able to find a number of strong-performing companies during the period that met those criteria and that were the major contributors to the fund's outperformance. Those companies were Quaker Oats, Kellogg, Unilever and Albertson's, the fund's top contributors to performance on an absolute basis.

Q. Can you give some more specifics about what made those companies successful during the past six months?

A. Sure. I spend a lot of time focusing on leadership within companies. Take Quaker Oats, for example. The company has outstanding leadership, is strongly focused on providing the highest levels of quality and service, and is sensitive to and squarely focused on serving the needs of its customers. During the period, the stock traded at a significant discount to its peer group and historical valuation due to uncertainty regarding the Pepsi merger, but I was compelled to buy it based on the company's strong intrinsic fundamentals, leadership and valuation. The company was acquired by Pepsi during the period. Albertson's - a national grocery and drug store chain - and Dutch-based Unilever both benefited from strong leadership during the period. Kellogg's stock rose on the strength of strong volume trends and improved pricing power.

Q. Was there anything else these stocks had in common?

A. Time and time again, favorable stock performance was driven by strong and improving fundamentals. Those companies with visionary leadership at all levels of the organization tend to consistently deliver superior results for shareholders. In making investment decisions, I strive to identify those opportunities for shareholders.

Q. What stocks detracted from performance?

A. Given my investment style and seeking to identify the strongest opportunities for investments for shareholders, I make investment decisions that I believe will have the best ultimate outcome for shareholders. Committing to invest in corporations with teams with vision, who have the ability and resources to execute on that vision, means that it sometimes - actually often - takes time for those individuals to thoughtfully and bountifully execute on their strategy. Therefore, it is often important to take a longer-term investment approach to reap the greatest shareholder benefit. Investments that detracted from performance in the period were generally those in which I have confidence in longer-term strategy for outperformance for shareholders. Examples among them include Coca-Cola and Starbucks.

Q. What's your outlook for the next six months?

A. Food stocks have tended to outperform during periods of economic uncertainty. Intrinsic factors, such as earnings stability and visibility, and extrinsic factors such as slower consumer retail spending, are likely to continue to drive sentiment to these traditionally defensive names. I expect there to be a continuation of the recent economic uncertainty in the global marketplace. As a result, I believe that the defensive characteristics of the food industry could potentially continue to produce opportunities for these groups to outperform the broader market over the near term.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Leisure Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $46,699 - a 366.99% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Charles Hebard, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Leisure Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Charles?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 5.36%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - was down 2.56%. The fund also compares its performance to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which dropped 7.97% during the same time period. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 14.06%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs index and the Standard & Poor's 500 index returned 2.13% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund have such a tough time during the past six months and underperform its Goldman Sachs benchmark?

A. The fund invests in a relatively narrow range of leisure stocks, with a significant proportion of its holdings invested in companies whose performance is tied to advertising activity. After performing strongly early in the period, many advertising-related companies had a difficult time. Their stocks were volatile, experiencing many ups and downs. Depending on which day you bought, they could do either very well or very poorly. Overall, advertising activity continued to contract during the period, reflecting the marked slowdown in economic growth. In contrast, the Goldman Sachs index held a broader universe of stocks, including a larger component of consumer staple stocks that are more defensive, and which performed relatively well during the period. The S&P index, which invests in an even broader range of stocks, including large-cap technology stocks, had much higher exposure to the economic slowdown, hurting its performance to an even greater degree.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. I tried to use the volatile market to my advantage, buying when prices were depressed and selling when they appreciated. Throughout the period, I added to the fund's media holdings - by far the fund's largest sector weighting on August 31 - based on my belief that when we do emerge from the current economic climate to a more positive environment, media stocks could perform well. I also continued to follow a somewhat more defensive stance, adding more cable, restaurant and gaming stocks.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance during the period?

A. Fox Entertainment, a large fund holding, was one of the few companies that bucked the downward trend of media stocks. Although its composition is similar to many other media companies and was just as tied to the weakening advertising environment, its stock performed relatively well due to its attractive valuation, continued broadcast ratings gains and the sale of its Fox Family assets to Disney. AT&T performed well after receiving a hostile bid for its cable business, driving its stock price up substantially in July. Cendant, with lodging, real estate and car rental operations, did well after some acquisitions it made performed better than expected.

Q. What stocks detracted from performance?

A. Along with most of the media industry, Viacom and AOL Time Warner were hurt by declines in advertising. Time and time again during the period, investors sought out media stocks in anticipation of strong performance once economic conditions begin to improve, only to sell them when prospects for a near-term recovery - and a boost in advertising - faded. Disney was affected by the drop-off in theme park attendance when people substituted less-expensive vacation alternatives to high-priced Disney resorts as the economy slowed.

Q. What's your outlook going forward, Charles?

A. In light of the recent tragic events following the close of the period, it would be very difficult to predict how the market and economy will react in the near term. Travel and leisure spending could slow, consumers could pare back on their spending, and advertising activity could continue to drop. It's an uncertain time, and I remain concerned about the continuing economic slowdown. However, consumers have proven to be extremely resilient, so only time will tell. I can say that the strength and integrity of the financial system both at home and abroad remain intact, and I will continue to take a long-term approach for the fund. No matter what the economic or market climate, I'll continue to search for those companies that I believe offer excellent opportunities for investors.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Multimedia Portfolio on August 31, 1991 and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $51,525 - a 415.25% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Victor Thay, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Multimedia Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Victor?

A. It did about as well as the overall market. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -7.18%, versus -7.97% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - finished with a return of -2.56%. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -18.24%, compared with -24.39% and 2.13% for the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, respectively.

Q. What factors influenced the fund's relative performance during the six-month period?

A. A weakening economy contributed to the poor performance of advertising-sensitive companies. As their earnings outlooks deteriorated, many companies cut back on their advertising budgets, hurting advertising agencies, media companies and others that depend on ad revenues. The S&P 500, a widely used proxy for the overall market, was particularly hampered by the underperformance of stocks in technology, telecommunications and other growth sectors. On the other hand, the Goldman Sachs index was buttressed by nice gains in many retail stocks, which responded positively to evidence during the period that consumer spending was holding up well and to continued cuts in interest rates by the Federal Reserve Board. Lower interest rates reduce consumers' borrowing costs and generally have a favorable impact on consumer spending.

Q. Can you comment on your strategy during the period?

A. In retrospect, I should have given the fund a more defensive tilt, with a lower profile in entertainment companies and a higher exposure to cable firms, which have a more stable revenue stream that is valued by investors when stocks in other industries are languishing. However, most investors - me included - had a much more upbeat outlook for the economy early in the period than at the end. For a while, it looked as though the Federal Reserve Board's rate cuts would avert a prolonged slowdown, making advertising-sensitive stocks a good way to bet on a recovery. As the period progressed, it became clear that the slowdown was more entrenched than previously thought.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. Moody's, which offers a rating service for public debt issues, was the fund's top contributor. The stock was a beneficiary of investors' search for stable earnings growth, and it also was helped by healthy refinancing activity in the debt markets. Fox Entertainment Group also aided performance, buoyed by improving ratings and operating leverage of its cable network. AT&T's stock responded positively to a hostile bid for the company's cable division from rival Comcast.

Q. What stocks detracted from performance?

A. Viacom fell after the company lowered its guidance to analysts on expected revenues and earnings. Another poor performer, AOL Time Warner, had a soft second quarter and was expected to downwardly revise its financial estimates for the near term. General Motors Class H, the tracking stock for the Hughes Electronics subsidiary of General Motors, declined when the former delivered poor results.

Q. What's your outlook, Victor?

A. From the perspective of mid-September 2001, when this report is being written, the outlook for multimedia stocks and the economy is quite uncertain. After the end of the period, in the days immediately following the terrorist attacks of September 11, advertising virtually dried up in many media, as companies sought to distance themselves from events that are shocking and tragic on a virtually unprecedented scale. A lot will depend on how quickly business returns to some semblance of normality. In a drawn-out war, even defensive stocks could be hurt. On a more positive note, I still anticipate that the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and competition for U.S. Senate seats should stimulate ad revenues and provide some support for ad-sensitive stocks in 2002. Further cuts in interest rates by the Fed also could be constructive for the stock market and the economy. For now, I am sticking with my strategy of trying to find a suitable mix of offensive stocks - that is, those that should respond to improving economic conditions - and defensive holdings with steady earnings growth.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer services and products, including producers of beverages - alcoholic and non-alcoholic, food, personal care, household products, and tobacco companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Retailing Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $34,741 - a 247.41% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Steve Calhoun, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Retailing Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Steve?

A. During the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 5.24%. This performance compares to the Goldman Sachs Consumer Industries Index - an index of 270 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the consumer industries sector - which slipped 2.56%. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund's -2.25% return compares to a 2.13% return for the Goldman Sachs index. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -24.39% during the same 12-month period.

Q. What market factors affected performance over the past six months, and how did this affect your investment strategy?

A. The market environment was characterized by slowing economic conditions as evidenced by decreasing interest rates, rising unemployment and moderating energy prices. Against this backdrop, consumers, uncertain about future economic conditions, were careful with their spending. Given this environment, I chose to focus on retailers that were able to continue to attract consumers and increase their market share while offering favorable valuations. Companies such as Wal-Mart, which continued to aggressively expand its grocery business, and Safeway, a grocer with above-average industry margins, offered many of these characteristics.

Q. Did you employ any other investment strategies?

A. Yes, I did. I looked for companies where declining interest rates offered them a chance to refinance their debt, improve their balance sheets and refine their operations. I liked Rite Aid, for example, because its new management team appeared to be showing favorable results in implementing its new business strategies. Declining interest rates also proved to be beneficial in the currency market for select companies. McDonald's, a long-time consumer favorite, saw its overseas profits benefit from the euro's recent rise when translated from the euro into the U.S. dollar.

Q. What other stocks benefited performance?

A. Home improvement companies and wholesale clubs helped. BJ's, a regional wholesale club, continued its positive performance. Lowe's also was a positive contributor. Its nationwide expansion continued to take away consumers from its older, more mature rivals such as Home Depot. In addition, Lowe's was able to attract consumers with different demographic characteristics to its stores. This helped Lowe's show more favorable sales growth than its competitors. Kmart was a positive contributor as it benefited from store upgrades and the consumer's focus on basic goods.

Q. What stocks were disappointing?

A. Specialty retailers continued to be disappointing as they struggled to attract the discretionary sales dollar. Companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch executed good business strategies and had good store traffic, but still were affected by a reluctant consumer. Other companies, including GAP, suffered as consumers were slow to accept its fashions. Many consumers simply cut back or postponed their purchases of specialty apparel. In many cases, consumers were only purchasing staple goods such as groceries.

Q. What's your outlook for the coming months?

A. I am cautious, and I would not be surprised if the current economic conditions continued. Further interest-rate reductions and slowing consumer spending cannot be ruled out. In this environment, I will continue to look for companies with defensive characteristics - meaning companies that are able attract consumers in a variety of economic conditions. I'll also look for companies with increasing market share, favorable industry operating margins and attractive valuations.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performancde. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Air Transportation Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $44,488 - a 344.88% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Matthew Fruhan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Air Transportation Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Matt?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 3.12%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - declined 3.93%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, the fund returned 2.26%, while the Goldman Sachs index fell 1.50% and the S&P 500 fell 24.39%.

Q. Despite losing ground during the period, the fund was able to minimize its losses relative to the broader market and fared slightly better than the Goldman Sachs index. Why?

A. While nearly the entire market witnessed a downturn during the period, many investors looked beyond the malaise toward a rebound in the economy. Cyclical stocks - especially airline stocks with their "trough," or very cheap valuations - are closely tied to expectations for an economic recovery and, in general, they performed well during the period. The fund's overweighted position in certain airline stocks - relative to both indexes - helped performance. While airline stocks were cheap, however, the airlines themselves reported sizable declines in operating profits over the past year. When airlines don't make money, they stop ordering airplanes, which hurt the aerospace manufacturers. In turn, aerospace stocks performed poorly during the period because their valuations depend on orders as the driver of future profits. The fund was underweighted in the aerospace industry - relative to both indexes - during the period, which helped performance.

Q. Which stocks performed well during the period, and why?

A. General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin - two of the biggest defense contractors in the U.S. - made big contributions to the fund's returns. Investors rewarded defense stocks for their robust cash flow numbers, strong year-over-year earnings growth and attractive valuations during the period. A regional airline - SkyWest - also fared well during the period because the company reported higher and more consistent earnings growth than many of the larger airline companies.

Q. Which of the fund's holdings were the most disappointing?

A. Despite reporting solid earnings growth, Boeing - the largest manufacturer of airplanes in the U.S. - suffered along with the rest of the aerospace industry on forecasts of declining airplane orders for 2002 and 2003 versus this year. Goodrich, a commercial aerospace supplier, also lost ground on expectations of a slowdown in airplane orders. Among the larger airlines, investors punished Delta during the period for an extended labor strike at its regional carrier, Comair.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The outlook for the airline industry is tenuous. I believe some carriers may go bankrupt as demand for air travel takes some time to rebound after the tragic events of September 11th, following the end of the period. The recent government guaranteed loan package for U.S. airlines, however, does give carriers more leeway for merger and acquisition activity. For those airlines left standing, the upside could be enormous. It is important for investors to own stocks of companies that have solid balance sheets and are likely to survive a prolonged downturn. As for aerospace, we have entered a down cycle in orders and the length of the downturn is hard to pinpoint. I believe it will be difficult to make money in this sector in the short term, but if the market punishes these stocks too harshly, good buying opportunities may emerge. In general, I expect lots of volatility in airline and aerospace stocks due to the uncertainty that lies ahead. However, this situation also may provide investors with valuable opportunities to buy great companies at great prices.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Automotive Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $24,311 - a 143.11% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Kelly Cardwell became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Automotive Portfolio on July 1, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Kelly?

A. Pretty well. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 7.84%. The Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - returned -3.93%, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 1.72%, whereas the Goldman Sachs and the S&P 500 indexes returned -1.50% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors helped the fund outperform both the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index during the six-month period?

A. During this period, technology stocks fell significantly. The fund outperformed the S&P because - given its nature - it had much less exposure to these tech stocks. As investors fled tech stocks, they looked to more industrial-type companies because of their low valuations and the perception that they would perform well when an economic recovery is anticipated. These industrial-type companies frequently are found in the cyclical sector. The fund outperformed the Goldman Sachs index because of good positioning and solid stock selection within the better performing areas of the automotive industry.

Q. As the economy slowed down, what helped the fund maintain its positive performance?

A. One of the primary reasons was that U.S. auto manufacturers continued to produce higher-than-expected sales despite being down so far this year. Automotive securities started the year depressed because earnings and revenues were down, which made it easier for the companies to exceed lowered expectations. In an effort to appeal to consumers, manufacturers issued significant discounts such as cash rebates, low-interest financing and subsidized leases. As interest rates dropped, automakers were in an even better position to offer cut-rate loans. Rebates and cheap financing amid slowing economic growth helped the auto industry provide affordable new vehicles to customers. Another contributor was the refinancing boom related to the lower interest rates. With the ability to refinance their homes at a lower rate, for example, consumers were able to take that "extra" money and purchase automobiles. Also, relatively stable and low unemployment rates and stable consumer confidence, particularly earlier in the period, kept the automotive industry running. When people have jobs, they buy cars. Thanks to these factors, the automotive industry was able to keep its head above water.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. Johnson Controls, a leading automotive interiors supplier and industrial controls provider, performed very well. This company was one of the few auto suppliers projected to have an increase in earnings despite declining auto sales. Also, the auto interiors market grew much faster than the overall auto-parts market, and Johnson was able to take market share. AutoZone was another great performer. This company has really rebounded after a few bad years in the auto-parts after-market. The company was able to increase its sales and exceed earnings expectations. Sonic Automotive, an automotive dealer, also was a key contributor.

Q. What holdings detracted from the fund's performance?

A. Danaher, a major tools and components manufacturer as well as a process and environmental controls maker, hurt the fund. This company was a relatively good contributor until the final few months of the period when the effects of the weakening economy began to catch up with its business. Michelin, a leading tire manufacturer, was hit especially hard by the decline in the commercial truck market. Toyota also was a disappointment. Investors were looking for more single-product-specific stocks rather than a stock like Toyota, which is a broad, general automaker. Toyota also had less exposure to the U.S. market and, during the period, the U.S.-exposed stocks generally performed better than the foreign-exposed stocks.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The combination of the slowing economy and the tragic events of September 11, shortly after the close of the period, have made me cautious. The two most important factors that I'll be watching are unemployment and consumer confidence. If unemployment rises and consumer confidence dips, the automotive industry could experience a slowdown. However, I believe the market is cyclical, meaning that even if consumers stop spending now, they will eventually come back buying at some point down the road. I'll be looking to buy the best positioned companies coming out of a downturn.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Chemicals Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $26,524 - a 165.24% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Jonathan Zang, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Chemicals Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Jonathan?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -0.45%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - fell 3.93%. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index was down 7.97% during the same period. For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 14.47%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs index dropped 1.50% and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 24.39%.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks during the period?

A. Chemical company fundamentals worsened during the period, but the stocks generally held up better than many other sectors of the market. The Goldman Sachs index, one of the fund's benchmarks, invests in a much broader group of cyclical stocks, many of whose valuations were affected more by the slowing economy. Large-capitalization technology and telecommunications stocks, which make up a significant portion of the S&P 500 index, also saw their valuations negatively affected by the economic slowdown, accounting for much of the S&P 500's relative underperformance. In comparison, chemical stocks remained relatively flat during the period as many investors chose to look beyond their current fundamental weakness toward a hoped-for eventual recovery. As a result, in comparison to the broader market, chemical stocks outperformed.

Q. What else helped the fund endure such a difficult investment climate?

A. I would draw a distinction between chemical stock prices and chemical company fundamentals. Through the period, chemical stock performance generally was flat, as investors continued to hope for an economic recovery and the positive impact that this would have on chemical company business fundamentals. Chemical company fundamentals worsened considerably, however, driven by continued weakness in North American manufacturing sectors. There also were clear indications that this weakness had spread to Asia and Europe, which account for roughly one-third of U.S. chemical companies' revenues and profits. I bought stocks of companies with significant leverage to an improving economy, and whose valuations I believed were close to their historical lows. I found many more of these opportunities in small-cap stocks than in large caps.

Q. Which stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. PolyOne, one of the fund's larger holdings, was the top contributor to performance. I believed its valuation was low compared to its earnings power under a more normal economic environment. During the period, its stock appreciated, moving closer to what I believed to be its true value. Solutia, the fund's largest holding, makes nylon fiber for carpets, plastic films used in architectural and automotive windows, and other products. It rose modestly, but nevertheless made a material positive contribution to the fund's performance due to its large weighting in the portfolio. Praxair, another top holding, also did well. This industrial gas producer's stock benefited from investors' interest in the company's perceived lower sensitivity to economic cycles relative to other chemical stocks.

Q. Which holdings detracted from the fund's performance?

A. Celanese, a European producer of paint and coatings additives, plastics used in automobiles, and connectors used in cell phones, derives about two-thirds of its business from North American markets. It lowered its outlook for earnings expectations, and then lowered its outlook again just a month later. Investors reacted to the company's inability to predict its earnings by selling the stock. I'm still holding it because I believe it's very cheap relative to the company's potential earnings when the economy improves. Two other detractors were Lyondell Chemical and Millennium, both of which were involved in a commodity plastics partnership. Both moved lower during the period as the economic environment worsened around the world, causing their risk profiles to increase more than many other chemical stocks and resulting in underperformance.

Q. What's your outlook, Jonathan?

A. I think there's a reasonable chance that over the next 12 months chemical stock fundamentals could improve, although in the near term things could get worse for the economy in general and chemical companies' earnings in particular. If history is any guide, chemical stock valuations could improve six to 12 months before any improvement in the economy is evident.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Joshua Spencer, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Construction and Housing Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Josh?

A. It did very well. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 9.82%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - declined 3.93%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund had a 27.79% return, compared with returns of -1.50% and -24.39% for the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500, respectively.

Q. What factors contributed to this strong performance?

A. The sector continued to benefit from falling interest rates. With population growth outpacing projections, home prices still at generally affordable levels and mortgage rates continuing to fall, demand for new housing remained strong even in the face of a severely slowing economy. Therefore, many of the fund's homebuilder stocks performed quite well, as did many of its holdings in the home furnishings and equipment segment. With oil prices stabilizing at relatively high levels during the period, major oil companies continued to make capital improvements on plant and equipment. This, along with the ongoing need to expand electrical power generation capacity, helped spur continued strength in the construction industry, creating new opportunities for many of the portfolio's engineering and construction companies and helping to boost their stock prices. The fund outperformed the broader indexes because, by definition, it has greater exposure to the housing and construction industries, which showed surprising resilience to the slowing trend in the overall market.

Q. Did you make any adjustment to your investment strategy during the period?

A. Nothing major. I increased positions in the building products segment - I bought more American Standard - a leading maker of air-conditioning systems and plumbing products - Whirlpool and Leggett & Platt, which makes furnishing for retail stores - because I felt these particular names would benefit from the strength in the housing sector and also because they were selling at attractive valuations. I also reduced the fund's relative weighting in Home Depot because I felt that, at 39 times earnings, the stock was overvalued. Given its otherwise strong fundamentals, Home Depot remains a top-10 holding and made a positive contribution to performance during the period.

Q. Which of the fund's other holdings helped drive performance higher?

A. Lowe's, another competitor in the home improvement market, was the largest relative contributor during the period. Caterpillar, which manufactures heavy construction equipment, also was a strong performer, as was Georgia-Pacific, the building materials company. Increasing exposure to the building products companies that I mentioned earlier also added to overall performance. Among homebuilders, D.R. Horton performed quite well, and in construction and engineering, Fluor Corporation benefited from increased capital spending by the oil industry.

Q. What stocks had disappointing performance?

A. Danaher, a diversified industrial company that makes Sears Craftsman tools, had a big sell-off during the period as a result of a reduced earnings estimate, ending a long run of double-digit gains. Ongoing weakness in the construction of new telecommunications networks continued to hurt companies such as Quanta Services. Paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams had disappointing performance in the wake of a lawsuit calling for the company to clean up all lead-paint contamination in the state of Rhode Island. Interestingly, despite the overall strength in housing, mortgage originator Countrywide Credit was sold off when its price hit 15 times earnings, which seemed to signal market sentiment that the housing sector may be nearing its peak.

Q. What's your outlook, Josh?

A. I'm guarded. I believe that sector fundamentals should continue to be strong relative to the rest of the economy. Housing supply still needs to catch up with housing demand, which the 2000 census revealed has been underestimated for the past decade. Mortgage rates are at 30-year lows, and affordability is high. These factors should help buoy housing and construction. But I'm also concerned that investor sentiment about overall economic weakness may overshadow the favorable fundamentals of the sector, dragging it downward as well. Within this uncertain market scenario, I will try to keep the fund invested in companies that are gaining market share or are well-positioned to take advantage of the dynamics of their marketplaces.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past one year and life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on March 3, 1997. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average annual returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Cyclical Industries Portfolio on March 3, 1997, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $14,856 - a 48.56% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $15,170 - a 51.70% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Pratima Abichandani, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Cyclical Industries Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Pratima?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -0.41%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - fell 3.93%. The fund also outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which declined 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 4.88%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -1.50% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund outperform the broader market during the past six months?

A. As the economy worsened, many investors fleeing high-growth areas of the market turned to cyclicals in anticipation of a recovery. At the same time, these stocks looked attractive because they were extremely cheap on a valuation basis, both in absolute terms and relative to other areas of the market. Further, while cyclicals typically perform well coming out of an economic slowdown, they outperformed the broader market during this cycle while the economy was weakening. Much of this early recovery was due to a combination of factors, including a sharp decline in technology stocks and aggressive interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve Board.

Q. What helped the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. More than anything else, it was good stock picking in a number of industries. In particular, the fund owned a larger percentage of strong-performing defense stocks, such as General Dynamics and Alliant Techsystems, that benefited from an improved outlook for defense spending. Similarly, my stock selection in retail - where stocks such as O'Reilly Automotive rose by more than 60% - and in the electronic test and instrumentation group - led by a nearly 23% increase in Cabot Microelectronics and a 22% gain in Millipore - boosted both relative and absolute performance.

Q. What were your key investment strategies?

A. I kept the fund underexposed to automobile manufacturing because valuations weren't attractive given the slowing economy. This strategy was beneficial because auto stocks generally underperformed other areas of the market, but my stock selection in this group could have been better. While having significantly less or no exposure to poor-performing Ford Motor and DaimlerChrysler proved helpful, it was offset by my underweighting of General Motors, which had a positive return, and my overweighting of Toyota Motor, which declined more than 12%. Additionally, overweighting industrial conglomerates such as General Electric (GE) and Tyco, both of which had negative returns, hindered the fund's performance. However, I added to the fund's positions in these stocks as the period progressed because of their strong earnings visibility.

Q. What other stocks performed well? Which disappointed?

A. Top contributor Mohawk Industries, a carpet and rug producer, rose 49% during the period on record earnings in the second quarter. Elsewhere, investors rewarded industrial equipment and engine maker Caterpillar for the resilience of its diversified business lines in a slowing economy. The company exceeded Wall Street's second-quarter earnings expectations. On the down side, when GE announced its intent to acquire Honeywell, investors were unwilling to reward GE's strong earnings multiple to Honeywell and GE's stock suffered. Later, when the deal failed to gain approval from European regulators, GE shares declined further. Emerson Electric fell sharply after the company warned in July that an unprecedented decline in demand for its electronics and telecommunications products would reduce profits in its fiscal third quarter.

Q. What lies ahead for cyclical industry stocks, Pratima?

A. On a fundamental basis, I remain optimistic because a number of macroeconomic factors - including monetary policy easing, declining energy prices and federal income tax refunds - offer a good backdrop for economic recovery. While many cyclical industries stocks have performed well and are no longer at the absolute valuation lows that we saw in late 2000, they continue to be attractively valued relative to most other areas of the market. Going forward, I believe strong performance will continue to come from individual stock selection across all industries, rather than any one particular "hot" industry. The fund remains positioned to benefit from an improving economy by emphasizing companies with attractive valuations, good earnings visibility, restructuring/turnaround situations and management changes.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace Portfolio on August 31, 1991 and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $39,656 - a 296.56% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Matthew Fruhan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Matt?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund was down 6.51%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - lost 3.93%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund lost 5.89%, while the Goldman Sachs index fell 1.50% and the S&P 500 declined 24.39%.

Q. The fund slightly outperformed the broader market during the past six months, but fared worse than the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index. Why?

A. Defense stocks, with their strong earnings growth and attractive valuations, were "safe havens" to investors during the recent downturn in the broader market. The fund fared slightly better than the S&P 500 because of its heavy weighting in defense names. The fund also benefited from its underweighted position - relative to its benchmarks - in aerospace stocks. We witnessed a sizable decline in airline operating profits during the period, leading to a drop in year-over-year airplane orders and a subsequent fall in the prices of aerospace stocks. The Goldman Sachs index reported narrower losses than the fund because some cyclical industries not represented in the fund, such as railroads and home builders, rebounded somewhat during the period.

Q. Which stocks performed well during the period, and why?

A. Robust cash flow numbers and year-over-year earnings growth boosted the stock prices of two of the biggest defense contractors in the U.S. - General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin. Both of these stocks were among the fund's top five holdings at the end of the period. Alliant Techsystems - a top-10 holding at the end of the period - was a big contributor to the fund's returns thanks to its cheap valuation relative to its strong cash flow numbers. The company makes booster rockets for the space shuttle. Among smaller contributors to the fund's performance, Newport News Shipbuilding - the only builder of the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers - watched its stock price climb as a result of being named the target of potential takeovers by both General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman.

Q. Which of the fund's holdings were the most disappointing?

A. One of the biggest disappointments was Honeywell, which plummeted when plans for General Electric to buy the company were thwarted by regulators. Another big detractor was Goodrich, a commercial aerospace supplier. The company suffered along with the rest of the aerospace industry on forecasts of declining airplane orders for next year. In addition, Hughes Electronics, a division of General Motors, lost much ground as extended negotiations to sell the satellite television provider proved worrisome to investors looking for a high premium.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. In light of the recent tragedies that took place in New York City, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania shortly after the close of the period, I expect defense spending to continue to increase, providing some support for defense stocks. As for commercial aerospace, we have entered a down cycle in orders and the length of the downturn is hard to pinpoint. I believe it will be difficult to make money in this sector in the short term, but if the market punishes these stocks too harshly, good buying opportunities may emerge. In general, I expect that the tragic events of September 11th will create uncertainty and volatility in the defense and aerospace sectors. However, this situation also may provide investors with valuable opportunities to buy great companies at good prices.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Environmental Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $10,923 - a 9.23% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Valerie Friedholm became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Environmental Portfolio on July 23, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Valerie?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund had a return of -4.08%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - declined 3.93%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 5.78%, while the Goldman Sachs index and S&P 500 declined 1.50% and 24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors drove performance during the six-month period?

A. Certain segments of the environmental industry - such as companies in the solid waste disposal business - are considered to be defensive plays because these services continue to be in demand even in times of severe economic slowdown. The fund had a generally equal weighting relative to the benchmark in this defensive segment for the most of the period, which explains to some extent why its results were essentially level with the Goldman Sachs index. It outperformed the broader index largely because of its secular concentration in an industry where there remains some defensive potential.

Q. You only recently took over managing the fund, Valerie. Have you made any changes in strategy?

A. I've positioned the fund a bit more defensively by overweighting the environmental services segment that I just spoke about. I've also maintained its underweighted positions in the various new and developing companies whose next-generation energy and environmental products have yet to create sustained earnings. The lesson from the dot-com experience is that while many companies may have good long-term stories, without earnings they are just too expensive.

Q. What holdings did the most to help overall performance?

A. The fund's holdings in the environmental services segment as a whole were helpful, with such solid waste-disposal names as Republic Services, Waste Management and Allied Waste Industries each making large contributions to overall performance. Each of these companies, whose stocks are among the fund's top-10 holdings, benefited not only from ongoing operational strength in their individual businesses, but also from the general movement within the broad market toward more defensive positioning. The fund also got a nice lift from Millipore, which earlier this year spun off its microelectronics business to concentrate on its core business of developing technology for use in drug development. Interestingly, the fund's largest positive contribution came from Whole Foods Market, which is the world's largest retailer of natural and organic foods and also one of the fund's larger holdings. This company benefits from a strong demographic trend toward healthier eating and an unexpectedly loyal customer base, which demonstrated that it would continue to pay higher prices for healthier food even in the face of a slowing economy. Its stock, which had been undervalued by the market, benefited from increased investor interest, based on the continuing strength of its revenue stream.

Q. Were there any especially disappointing performers?

A. Capstone Turbine, which makes microturbine systems for the electrical power generation industry, was the single largest drag on earnings. Its shares fell to a 52-week low near the end of the period when it announced a significant slowdown in new orders. Calpine, which owns and operates gas-fired power plants across the U.S., also was a weaker-than-expected performer, based mainly on investor concerns about electrical overcapacity. The biggest surprise, however, came from the fund's second largest holding, Thermo Electron, and what I believe was the market's overreaction to the company resetting its earnings expectations during the period. Thermo Electron, the maker of analytic instruments for a variety of industries, saw its stock price decline by about 25% in the aftermath of that announcement. The company continues to perform well, however, and I continue to hold its stock.

Q. What's your outlook for the next six months?

A. There is still a great deal of uncertainty in the market, and I'm not anticipating any immediate change in that scenario. Therefore, I expect to maintain the fund's defensive bias over the near term and will continue to stick with names that I feel have promising short-term fundamentals. I am comfortable with the fund's current positioning.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Industrial Equipment Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $38,700 - a 287.00% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Praveen Abichandani, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Industrial Equipment Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Praveen?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of 1.48%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in cyclical industries - declined 3.93%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -13.91%, while the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries returned -1.50% and the S&P 500 index had a return of -24.39%.

Q. What was the environment for industrial stocks like during the past six months?

A. The period began with heightened awareness of a weaker U.S. economy, even though consumer spending remained strong. Manufacturing activity was declining at a rate similar to that of the 1991 recession. The growth that telecommunications equipment and technology industries had enjoyed since 1998 was essentially wiped out. The Federal Reserve Board began its aggressive easing campaign in January 2001. By late spring, manufacturing lead indicators had begun to stabilize and most of the industrial stocks gained solidly. In the advanced industrial sector, stocks in industries such as semiconductor capital equipment, which are among the earliest to feel the effects of a renewed growth cycle, performed very well.

Q. What were your principal strategies during the six-month period?

A. I maintained a healthy weighting in semiconductor capital equipment stocks. I believed any potential revival in technology or telecommunications would first appear in increasing orders for the equipment used in the production of semiconductors. I also emphasized heavy equipment companies such as Caterpillar that were positioned to benefit from the improving long-term outlook for construction in power generation and public works projects as well as increased oil and natural gas production. In addition, I focused on higher-quality companies with reasonable stock valuations in industries such as plumbing and electrical component supplies that would be supported by continued strong construction activity. I also selectively added some defense-related stocks because I thought they could benefit from the new administration's favorable attitude about defense spending. My emphasis on the semiconductor equipment companies as well as on late-cyclical stocks such as Caterpillar helped the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs index.

Q. What were some of the investments that helped performance, and what investments were disappointing?

A. As I mentioned, Caterpillar was a very strong performer. Its earnings outlook improved as it booked equipment orders for power generation, public construction and energy exploration projects. Several semiconductor capital equipment companies did very well, including KLA-Tencor, Applied Materials and LAM Research. Building supply companies such as York International and SPX Corp., both of which produce electrical components, also supported performance. Alliant Techsystems, which makes components for missile systems, did well. On the down side, Emerson Electric, which had a major exposure to the telecommunications equipment industry, was a disappointment despite a strong showing early in the period. The stock prices of Weatherford and Halliburton, two energy services equipment suppliers, also declined sharply after natural gas prices plummeted.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Industrial stock prices currently reflect investors' pessimistic expectations that the economy will make a hard landing, with capital spending in many industries slowing dramatically. The historical lessons drawn from recessions since the late 1960s indicate that early-cycle equipment companies tend to do well in such times and during the period I invested in early-cyclical stocks with reasonable valuations, such as Illinois Tool Works. Conversely, stocks of longer-cycle companies, such as power generation and energy development equipment firms, have tended to lag early cyclicals. The exceptions have occurred when there were external shocks that drove up oil and natural gas prices. Looking at historical trends and current market conditions, I expect to continue to focus on companies whose stock prices do not reflect overly optimistic outlooks for a quick, dramatic economic recovery.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Industrial Materials Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $20,560 - a 105.60% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Mark Schmehl, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Industrial Materials Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Mark?

A. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of 2.21%, beating the -7.97% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund also bettered the -3.93% mark posted by the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund's total return was 15.55%, eclipsing both the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, which had returns of -24.39% and -1.50%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks during the six-month period?

A. The prices for basic commodities such as chemicals, paper, metal and steel were relatively firm from March through May, providing support for the stocks of companies that manufacture or mine those materials. After May, hopes for a rapid economic recovery faded and stocks retreated across a broad front, including those in the industrial materials sector. The S&P 500 continued to be hurt by its exposure to technology, telecommunications and other growth sectors. Compared to the Goldman Sachs index, the fund was helped by its lack of consumer cyclicals stocks, which fell sharply in the latter half of the period. Additionally, the fund benefited from its overweighted position in aluminum stocks, which enjoyed moderately favorable supply/demand conditions during the period.

Q. Can you provide more details about what factors were driving the aluminum market?

A. Early in the period, high energy prices forced a number of smelters - producers of aluminum - to close, lessening the available supply of the metal. Although softer energy prices later in the period partially offset these advantages, the fund still saw a net benefit from its overweighted position.

Q. What stocks performed well during the period?

A. Alcoa, the world's largest aluminum maker, was the fund's best contributor for the reasons I mentioned earlier. As a result of the size and scope of its operations, Alcoa enjoys a favorable cost structure and other competitive advantages. Canadian National Railway was another holding that aided performance. A well-managed railroad, Canadian National was helped by firming prices for hauling coal, which experienced higher demand as an alternative power source because of relatively steep prices for oil and natural gas. A third positive contributor, lumber manufacturer Weyerhaeuser, showed modest gains due to the resilient housing market and the possibility of higher demand in a recovering economy.

Q. What holdings failed to perform up to your expectations?

A. One detractor was a stock that made our list of best performers six months ago - Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M). Although the stock was boosted in December 2000 by the announced appointment of former General Electric executive Jim McNerney as 3M's new CEO, downward revisions in the company's estimated financial results for 2001 took their toll on the share price. Freeport-McMoRan, a copper and gold mining stock, was hurt when the company announced a large convertible bond issue, raising investors' concerns about potential earnings dilution. Finally, tantalum mining stock Sons of Gwalia struggled due to the deteriorating outlook for the technology industry. Tantalum is used in capacitors, which are a basic component of a wide variety of technological products.

Q. What's your outlook, Mark?

A. I will be watching with great interest how low short-term interest rates go, especially in light of the new realities stemming from the events of September 11, 2001. As this report is being written, real interest rates - that is, nominal rates minus the rate of inflation - are approaching zero, which could eventually unleash inflationary forces and trigger an economic rebound. Both factors would tend to favor industrial materials stocks. Against this backdrop, I have positioned the fund in two key ways. If the economy recovers, our overweighted position in aluminum stocks should do well. However, I've also increased the fund's exposure to gold mining stocks as a defensive measure. Gold stocks could do well even if the economy stays weak, especially if historically low interest rates and a weaker dollar begin to rekindle inflation.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $29,556 - a 195.56% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Adam Segel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Adam?

A. It performed very well. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 14.47%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - fell 3.93%. The fund also compares its performance to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which dropped 7.97% during the same time period. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 26.99%, outperforming the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes, which were down 1.50% and 24.39%, respectively.

Q. How did the fund achieve such strong performance in this difficult environment?

A. Although the economy continued to slow and the market weakened during the period, paper companies became increasingly attractive to investors due to low valuations and positive industry themes. First, the industry had a positive supply story, with producers taking heavy downtime and permanently shutting higher-cost capacity in efforts to help reduce price volatility. Next, consolidation continued at a very strong pace within the industry, enabling companies to cut costs, increase market share and operate much more efficiently. Producers also improved their financial discipline, lowering capital expenditures. Finally, the economic backdrop helped generate optimism about a potential recovery, stimulated by aggressive credit easing by the Federal Reserve Board.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks by such a wide margin?

A. The fund invests in a much narrower range of stocks than the Goldman Sachs index and, relative to many cyclical industries in the index, the environment for paper and forest product companies was much more positive, primarily because of the favorable conditions I mentioned. As a result, this group performed much better than most other cyclical stocks. The S&P index, which invests in an even broader range of stocks than the Goldman Sachs index - including large-cap technology stocks - had much higher exposure to the economic slowdown, hurting its performance to an even greater degree.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. I searched for companies with low valuations that participated in some of the improving structural changes in the industry. I also focused on companies undergoing internal changes that could better position them for higher returns in the long term.

Q. Which stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. Top holding Westvaco, a diversified packaging and paper producer, benefited from a low valuation, a healthy dividend yield and a potential value-added merger with one of its competitors. Georgia-Pacific, the fund's No. 2 holding, performed well. The company was attractively priced and made good progress in improving its balance sheet during the period. Smurfit-Stone Container, another top holding, was pulled up along with the rest of the industry by the favorable environment and its cheap stock price.

Q. Which holdings hurt the fund's performance?

A. Although most of the fund's holdings contributed to its strong return, there were some with very moderate negative performance. Bowater, one of the fund's larger holdings, was hurt by very weak demand for newsprint. Gaylord Container was burdened by a very high debt load, and investors were concerned that it would not be able to survive another economic downturn. I sold this stock from the portfolio. Willamette's stock price was hindered by uncertainties about a hostile takeover attempt by competitor Weyerhaeuser.

Q. What's your outlook, Adam?

A. The recent tragic events around the country may have increased the chances of a recession, if we're not already in one. This could negatively affect the demand for paper, which often correlates with economic growth. I am encouraged by positive industry themes such as a benign supply outlook, consolidation, improved capital discipline and continued economic stimulus from the Fed. I'm cautiously optimistic that the paper group could perform well as valuations become more favorable and the potential grows for an eventual economic recovery resulting from aggressive interest-rate easing by the Fed.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past five year and past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include providers of consumer and commercial goods and services where performance is influenced by the cyclicality of economy, such as: manufacturers of automobiles and companies involved with construction of residential and commercial properties, producers of chemicals, electrical equipment and components, and providers of environmental services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Transportation Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $46,290 - a 362.90% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Ian Gutterman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Transportation Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Ian?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 1.71%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Cyclical Industries Index - an index of 234 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector - fell 3.93%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 18.81%, outperforming the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 index, which returned -1.50% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors helped the fund outperform the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 index during the past six months?

A. Transportation stocks had been punished more severely than other cyclical industries for an extended length of time prior to the sector's strong rally, one that began in mid-2000 and coincided with a correction in the information technology sector. During the past six months, we had a weak market environment overall, and investors looked more favorably on those companies whose earnings held up relatively well given the slowing economy. In this environment, the earnings of transportation stocks generally didn't suffer as badly as the broader market and, given their lower valuations relative to other cyclical industries going into the period, the stocks outperformed. In particular, railroad and trucking freight industries were among the top-performing cyclical industries because of their low valuations, pricing power and earnings growth.

Q. Were cheap valuations why road and railroad freight stocks made up the largest portion of the fund?

A. Absolutely. There just weren't many areas of the overall market that rallied the way railroad and trucking stocks did, while remaining undervalued. Further, while the difficult economic environment weakened the fundamentals of these stocks, I felt they were likely to benefit from any signs of economic recovery.

Q. Did you make any adjustments to your strategy since you addressed shareholders six months ago?

A. I did a couple of things. First, I steered the fund's exposure in the trucking freight industry a little more away from higher-quality, blue-chip stocks, such as Swift Transportation, and added exposure to trucking stocks with more attractive valuations, such as selected stocks in the national less-than-truckload group - trucking of multiple shipments combined into a single truck for multiple deliveries within a network. Additionally, I increased the fund's exposure to major airline stocks, such as AMR, Northwest and Delta, because valuations had dropped to inexpensive levels after it became clear that sustained economic weakness was reducing demand for business and consumer airline travel. I also continued to own selected regional airlines, such as Atlantic Coast and SkyWest, but I believed the potential for greater price appreciation was in the major airlines, given their reduced valuations.

Q. What stocks stood out as top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Canadian National Railway, the fund's top contributor, benefited from strong earnings growth due to its operating efficiency. Two other railroad stocks, CSX and Norfolk Southern, performed well as investors grew less concerned about merger integration issues. All three of these railroad stocks also benefited from improved pricing power for the first time in roughly 20 years, which translated into stronger earnings. On the down side, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the fund's biggest disappointment, missed Wall Street's second-quarter earnings target by a penny and its shares suffered. Investors punished diverse freight carrier CNF after it failed to meet investors' expectations for shedding its less-attractive Emery Worldwide air carrier unit. CNF shares were further pressured after the Federal Aviation Administration suspended the company's operations for maintenance issues.

Q. What's your outlook for transportation stocks?

A. In light of the tragic events that occurred in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania on September 11 after the end of the period, I will be readdressing the fund's exposure to all of the transportation industries. At this time, it's too soon to accurately assess the long-term impact these unfortunate events will have on the various transportation industries, but it's clear that airline stocks could experience a period of pressure, at least in the short term. Going forward, it looks like the direction of the economy is uncertain. As such, there is a real possibility of lower corporate earnings in coming quarters. Therefore, I will be re-examining the valuations of the fund's stocks to identify the companies with the best potential.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Banking Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $60,115 - a 501.15% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Sam Peters, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Banking Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Sam?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund declined 0.29%. The Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - an index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector - lost 1.00% for the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund gained 9.59%, while the Goldman Sachs index returned 0.55% and the S&P 500 lost 24.39%.

Q. What helped the fund outperform both of its benchmarks?

A. The fund's focus on traditional bank stocks was the key contributor to performance. The Federal Reserve Board's aggressive easing of interest rates during the period helped bank stocks, particularly those relying on spread revenues - or loan activity - since the cost to borrow money was lower and resulted in more profitable loan portfolios. Those stocks held up much better than many of the other components within the Goldman Sachs index, leading to the fund's outperformance. The S&P 500 index was hurt by the widespread slowdown in the economy, particularly among technology stocks.

Q. What was your focus during the past six months?

A. My focus was three-pronged: valuation, interest-rate sensitivity and balance sheet quality. In terms of valuation, I looked for low-priced stocks that had the potential to profit in a falling interest-rate environment, which would result in increased valuations for the stocks. Second, I focused on liability-sensitive banks - where the rates at which they borrow money adjust to lower interest rates more quickly than the rates at which they lend money - that were most likely to beat earnings estimates and were reasonably valued. Finally, in terms of balance sheet quality, I looked for banks that had superior credit portfolios or the capital strength to absorb higher credit costs. Incidentally, lower rates helped larger banks with deteriorating credit since lower rates improved secondary loan market liquidity, allowing banks to sell troubled loans and actively manage their risk profile. This helped fund performance since I had a larger capitalization bias during the period.

Q. Which stocks contributed to the fund's outperformance?

A. Bank of America and First Union were strong contributors. I bought them at very reasonable valuations in late 2000 and the stocks benefited from lower short-term interest rates. Fifth Third Bancorp, although expensive in terms of traditional metrics, continued to build intrinsic value well in excess of the banking average. Although its value dipped temporarily on concerns over its Old Kent acquisition, the acquisition appeared to be going better than expected, and that boosted stock performance. SouthTrust rose in value as a result of its liability-sensitive balance sheet, which improved its lending margins dramatically.

Q. Let's talk about detractors from performance. What can you tell us about them?

A. Bank of New York and Mellon Financial, which are large trust and custody banks, were both hurt by the impact of weak capital markets on their securities processing operations. Their valuations were stretched at the end of last year and compressed accordingly as business slowed during the six-month period. Mellon's difficulties were further exacerbated by the divestiture of its banking operations, which proved to dilute earnings more than expected. Also hurting performance were FleetBoston Financial and J.P. Morgan. These stocks suffered due to capital market weakness, highlighted by write-offs in their venture capital businesses and slowing revenues in their brokerage and investment banking areas. I've continued to hold these stocks because their valuations reflected much of the market-induced weakness in fundamentals, and I thought the stocks' performance would improve when the economy turns upward.

Q. What's your outlook, Sam?

A. I remain cautious. I'm concerned that the economy will continue to slow over the next few months. The past six months marked a period where conservative valuation-oriented strategies were rewarded. I believe that I have positioned the fund conservatively and I don't expect to make any dramatic changes going forward. I will continue to emphasize reasonably valued banks that have solid balance sheets and manageable credit portfolios. The combination of stock buybacks and the eventual abatement of credit deterioration at these banks should drive earnings growth as the economy improves, with lower risk of business distress if the slowdown deepens dramatically.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $66,780 - a 567.80% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Jennifer Nettesheim, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Jennifer?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund declined 10.29%. The Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - an index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector - lost 1.00% for the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund lost 22.17%, while the Goldman Sachs index returned 0.55% and the S&P 500 dropped 24.39%.

Q. What was the market like for brokerage and investment management stocks during the six-month period?

A. We've been in a slowing economy for the past six months. Fears of a global recession, coupled with the purging of excesses created by the technology/dot-com boom, created uncertainty and volatility in the markets, which hurt the earnings of brokerage and investment management companies. Brokerage companies were hurt as investors slowed their trading volumes and were less receptive to investment banking deals, while investment managers were hurt by a reduction in management fee revenue reflecting decreased assets under management due to market depreciation. As a result, the profitability and, consequently, the stock performance for these two groups fared poorly during the period. The fund underperformed both of its benchmarks because they are more diversified indexes that included sectors that were not as dependent on the strength of the equity markets for their earnings.

Q. Where did you focus in this difficult market?

A. Given the difficult market conditions, there were not a lot of places to hide within brokerage and investment management stocks. However, I tried to limit the fund's downside by focusing on companies that had unique niches or business models, and on companies that had less exposure to the equity markets. I also looked for under-analyzed stocks with beaten-up valuations. This strategy was somewhat successful, although it was not enough to offset the losses incurred by a large number of stocks held by the fund.

Q. What stocks helped the performance of the fund?

A. Fiserv, a leading processor of financial data, has a business model that is less tied to the equity market, enabling it to show relative consistency in earnings and help its stock performance. I took advantage of the gains and sold the stock prior to the end of the period. Investment Technology Group provides automated equity-trading services to institutional investors and brokers. Its proprietary system enabled the company to profit even as many of its competitors struggled with the move to decimalization and other market structure changes. Bear Stearns was an example of both an undervalued stock and a stock that benefited from having less equity exposure in its investment mix.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. Retail brokers were the hardest hit, since they depend on transactional volume from customers for revenues. The weak market had an exaggerated impact on these stocks. These brokers benefited wildly a year ago due to the onslaught of day trading and self-directed investors, but saw their customers slow or stop trading completely with the downdraft in the equity markets during the period. While I overweighted brokers with more institutional customer exposure, positions in retail brokers Charles Schwab and TD Waterhouse hurt absolute performance. Also taking away from performance was DST Systems, a mutual fund processor, which suffered along with its clients as assets under management were lower and trading slowed. The stock is no longer in the fund. American Express was another detractor as its credit card business felt the impact of reduced consumer spending caused by the economic slowdown and its asset management business declined due to the market downturn.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. Given recent events and the prolonged decline in the equity markets, it is clear we are in for a rough period. Consequently, it's tough to be optimistic for a fundamental recovery in financial services in the very short term. However, with the Federal Reserve Board's easing of interest rates five times within the period covered by this report, I'm confident that the economy and, consequently, the market will turn up eventually. Further, I believe that valuations of the group largely reflect the difficult period, leaving strong upside potential when the markets recover.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Financial Services Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $62,717 - a 527.17% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

James Catudal, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Financial Services Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Jim?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -3.47%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - an index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services industry - declined 1.00%, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -0.52%, while the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index returned 0.55% and the S&P 500 index had a return of -24.39%.

Q. What factors influenced performance during the six-month period?

A. Early in 2001, the Federal Reserve Board started moving aggressively to lower short-term interest rates to stimulate the economy. However, many financial stocks had rallied earlier on expectations of lower rates. While some interest-rate sensitive financial stocks continued to perform relatively well despite a declining stock market, other financial stocks fell in value. The slowing economy and the slumping stock market hurt the stocks of brokerages, asset managers and others directly involved in the capital markets. In contrast, some small- and mid-cap interest-rate sensitive companies, such as banks, savings and loans, and mortgage insurers, tended to fare well. As a result of the declining interest rates, earnings increased in many companies in these industries. Unfortunately, I thought their rally would end earlier and I had lowered the fund's emphasis on these stocks. This was a major factor in the fund's underperformance relative to the Goldman Sachs index.

Q. What were your principal strategies?

A. I overweighted government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which had favorable earnings outlooks and stood to benefit from lower interest rates. I also emphasized savings and loans because they typically benefit from lower interest rates and they have lower credit risk. I lowered my position in property-and-casualty insurers because of my concern about their high stock valuations, and I de-emphasized banks because I was concerned about their slow revenue growth and credit exposure in a slowing economy. I also reduced the fund's holdings in consumer finance-related businesses to protect against the effects of potential increases in consumer credit losses and personal bankruptcy filings.

Q. What types of investments helped performance?

A. Interest-rate sensitive stocks tended to do well. I increased my position in Bank of America after its stock price fell sharply following a pre-announcement of disappointing earnings in late 2000. The stock performed particularly well during the past six months as the Fed's moves to lower short-term interest rates increased the profitability of loans and as investors assumed the bank's worst news events were over. A number of savings and loans, such as Washington Mutual, performed well, also helped by the declines in short-term interest rates. H&R Block turned in solid performance as well. In a weakening economy, investors were attracted by its strong fundamentals.

Q. What types of investments were disappointing?

A. Brokerages such as Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, Charles Schwab and Merrill Lynch all detracted from the fund's returns. They were hurt by a slowing in equity stock offerings, declining trading volumes and losses in the values of assets under management stemming from the stock market slump. In addition, as the brokerage industry moved toward pricing securities on a decimal system rather than by fractions of dollars, it narrowed the spread between the bid and ask prices of securities, eroding brokers' profit margins.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. It's very difficult to assess the short-term market reactions to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, which occurred after the close of the fiscal period. It's also difficult to make judgments about the long-term impact on the overall economy. However, the markets appear to be operating in an orderly and efficient manner and we intend to keep our disciplined, long-term focus. Up until now, loan quality, with the exception of large commercial loans, has remained relatively stable, despite slowing economic growth. However, if the economy continues to weaken, credit quality could deteriorate, hurting banks and other lenders. I believe the Fed's aggressive actions and the government's accommodative fiscal policies should lead to an economic recovery, which would increase capital markets activity and limit potential credit losses. I intend to look for opportunities in those areas that will benefit from an economic recovery.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Home Finance Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $72,508 - a 625.08% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Jeff Feingold, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Home Finance Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Jeff?

A. Relatively well. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 4.13%, beating the -7.97% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund's return also compared favorably with the -1.00% mark posted by the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index, an index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 34.29%, compared with -24.39% and 0.55% for the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, respectively.

Q. Why was the fund able to beat its indexes during the six-month period?

A. The overall economy slowed considerably, resulting in falling share prices and plunging earnings for many companies in the S&P 500. However, housing was one pocket of strength, in large part due to the Federal Reserve Board's aggressive campaign to lower short-term interest rates. Lower rates spurred refinancing activity and new purchases of homes, boosting origination fees and loan growth for mortgage lenders. In addition, the Fed's actions widened the spread between short- and long-term interest rates. Wider spreads benefited thrifts, which borrow funds on a short-term basis and lend for the longer term. With respect to the Goldman Sachs index, the fund was helped by its lower exposure to brokerage stocks, investment banks and companies with a large exposure to credit card debt.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. One of the primary concerns I had was the potential credit problems caused by a slowing economy. In an environment where corporate layoffs are spreading and stock prices are falling, consumers tend to have more difficulty repaying debt. In fact, we have seen consumer delinquencies increase modestly over the past several quarters. Mortgage delinquencies, on the other hand, have not risen as quickly. I therefore tried to focus on companies with less credit risk, such as the GSEs (government-sponsored enterprises) and some of the thrifts. I also was mindful of the ongoing trend toward consolidation among the thrifts and tried to position the fund to benefit from it in cases where I saw compelling fundamental reasons to own a stock.

Q. What stocks performed well for the fund?

A. Dime Bancorp was the top performer as a result of its acquisition by Washington Mutual, which also made the list of leading contributors. Currently the country's biggest thrift, Washington Mutual has grown aggressively through both acquisitions and internal expansion. North Fork Bancorp is a commercial bank that benefited from the more favorable interest-rate environment. Radian Group, a mortgage insurer, was helped by strong demand for new mortgage insurance and the relatively low level of mortgage delinquencies.

Q. What stocks failed to perform up to your expectations?

A. General Electric, the fund's biggest detractor, owns the largest mortgage insurance business in the country. The stock was hurt by GE's failed merger with Honeywell and the deteriorating economic environment. Two title insurers, First American and Fidelity National, did poorly as investors looked ahead to the possibility of a recovering economy, rising interest rates and a sharp drop in revenues from refinancings. Title insurance companies collect one-time fees for their services and therefore their stocks tend to be more sensitive to investors' near-term expectations for growth in the housing market. Finally, GSEs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac weakened in response to concerns about initiatives in Congress that could have negatively affected the scope of their business. Investors' rotation from defensive to more aggressive financial stocks also hurt the GSEs.

Q. What's your outlook, Jeff?

A. Despite a weakening economy, I remain generally optimistic about the home finance sector. On average, total mortgage debt has grown 6% to 8% every year since 1953. Although this trend is subject to peaks and valleys, it represents a fundamentally sound backdrop for mortgage finance companies. Given the steep drop in interest rates during the period, I believe that the most recent refinancing wave may have run its course. However, absolute rates are low and the yield curve is steep, both of which should be positive influences. I will continue to monitor the health of the economy and consumer spending in view of their importance to the home finance sector.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services sector. Issues in the index include financial institutions providing banking services, brokerage firms and asset managers, insurance companies, and real estate holding and development companies. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Insurance Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $54,294 - a 442.94% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Ian Gutterman became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Insurance Portfolio on July 23, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Ian?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 0.76%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Index - an index of 225 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the financial services industry - fell 1.00%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 12.74%, outperforming the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 index, which returned 0.55% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors helped the fund outperform its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. The fund's exposure to insurance stocks, which were among the top performing groups within the financial services sector, was the differentiating factor. Specifically, the fund's collective positions in its three largest insurance categories - property and casualty, life and multi-line - each delivered positive returns for the period. At the same time, not being exposed to underperforming brokerages and diversified financials, which were hurt more significantly by the economic slowdown, enhanced the fund's relative return. The fund's gains in those areas were offset to some degree, however, by strong-performing regional banking stocks included in the Goldman Sachs index. Compared to the broader market, investors looked more favorably on the reasonable valuations of insurance stocks than those of other industries, such as information technology and telecommunication services.

Q. Why have insurance stocks held up relatively well despite the slowing economy?

A. As I mentioned, the valuations were more attractive. As stocks in more-aggressive sectors with higher price-to-earnings ratios started to measurably underperform, investors turned to insurance stocks, which by and large had faster earnings growth than the market average and were more moderately valued. Insurance companies also are major bond investors, and therefore benefited from a bond market rally due to the Federal Reserve Board's ongoing interest-rate cuts. Additionally, some segments of the insurance industry - most notably property and casualty, and life - had a positive pricing cycle, meaning they were able to raise the premiums they charge to their customers. The market expected that pricing power to be reflected in higher earnings growth in 2001, but through the end of the period that growth had yet to materialize as expected; hence the fund's flat performance. Not all insurance categories performed well. Diversified financial companies, such as March & McLennan, Conseco and Liberty Financial, which had large insurance units as well as annuity or asset management operations, experienced declining share prices as a result of their vulnerability to the stock market.

Q. What stocks stood out as top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Shares of American General, the fund's top contributor, soared after it agreed to be bought out by American International Group. Investors reacted positively to John Hancock Financial Services, which reported better-than-expected second-quarter operating earnings. On the down side, Allstate, the fund's second-largest holding, badly missed Wall Street's second-quarter earnings target and its shares plummeted. The company cited the impact of June's Tropical Storm Allison for sharply higher catastrophe loss payouts to homeowners. Shares of Conseco fell roughly 12% during a single day in August after the company slashed its 2001 earnings projections by more than 10%.

Q. What's your outlook for insurance stocks?

A. The tragic events that occurred in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania shortly after the close of the period could have a significant short-term impact on insurance stocks. At this time, however, it is too soon to accurately gauge the degree of influence these events will have on the industry. A number of factors - such as whether or not this was legally defined as a single event or multiple events, and the handling of "acts of war" policy exclusions - contribute to the uncertainty surrounding total insurable loss projections at this time. What's clear is that all the insurance segments are likely to be affected to some degree. While these tragic events are likely to cause a financial strain on the industry, I believe they are unlikely to put any of the companies out of business. In other matters, the possibility of more companies demutualizing their corporate structures and becoming public companies could present some opportunities going forward.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Biotechnology Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $36,425 - a 264.25% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Biotechnology Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Brian?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -11.94%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - fell 5.19%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index declined 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -35.57%, while the Goldman Sachs index and S&P 500 index returned -3.76% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund underperform its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. For the most part, investors rewarded established companies with stable earnings growth in other areas of the market as reflected by the S&P 500, and were unwilling to recognize the long-term potential that biotechnology companies offer. The Goldman Sachs index includes stocks from several areas of the health care sector - such as health care equipment and health maintenance organizations - that performed better than the biotechnology stocks this fund emphasized. The disappointing performance of the fund's holdings in larger, branded pharmaceutical companies - such as Pfizer and Merck - which are typically perceived as good investments in a slowing economy, also hurt relative returns. I sold off the fund's holdings in Merck.

Q. Did you implement any new strategies?

A. Not particularly. My strategy remained twofold. First, I focused on established companies with existing products on the market, multiple products in the late-stage development phase of human clinical trials and those with the potential to exceed revenue and earnings expectations. The second component of my strategy was to identify earlier-stage, emerging drug-development companies that had the best potential to be winners in the long term. During the past three months, I positioned the fund with slightly more emphasis on selected established companies with products in the later stages of clinical trials, such as Amgen. These companies could experience a substantial boost in their valuations should their products gain approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the case of Amgen, the company was expecting near-term approval of its anemia drug, Aranesp.

Q. What stocks were top contributors?

A. Investors rewarded ImClone Systems, the fund's top contributor, for positive data on the company's lead drug candidate for the treatment of colorectal cancer. ImClone filed for FDA approval, which could occur in early 2002. Gilead Sciences, another winner, performed well after the company received new positive clinical data on two drugs: Tenofovir, for treatment of HIV; and Adefovir, to treat hepatitis B. Lastly, Genzyme continued its streak of beating the market's quarterly earnings expectations in the second quarter due to strong sales of its dialysis treatment, RenaGel.

Q. What stocks disappointed?

A. Immunex was pressured by its struggle to overcome a supply crunch for its rheumatoid arthritis drug, Enbrel, and concerns about the company's ability to meet brisk demand for the drug. Immunex, the fund's top detractor, also was hurt by speculation that the company would not open its new Rhode Island production facility for Enbrel in mid-2002 as scheduled. Additionally, Nuvance, the next major drug in its pipeline, failed to show a significant benefit during clinical trials for asthma patients. Millennium Pharmaceuticals underperformed because of the market's perception that it is a high-risk growth stock - a category that fell out of favor. Millennium's fundamentals actually strengthened during the period, and I remained confident in the company's long-term outlook. Applera Corp.-Applied Biosystems Group disappointed investors after the company failed to meet earnings expectations during the first two quarters of 2001 due to a temporary slowdown in demand for scientific instrumentation products.

Q. What's your outlook, Brian?

A. The tragedies surrounding September 11, shortly after the end of the period, will likely affect the U.S. economy and could lead to greater short-term challenges in the equity markets. However, the long-term rationale for investing in biotechnology stocks remains promising, as these companies should continue to deliver novel therapeutics to patients, improving overall health care. The majority of biotech companies met or exceeded revenue and earnings expectations in the first two quarters of 2001. This recent growth - in the face of a slowing economy - is a good example of the long-term potential for these stocks. Finally, the performance of biotech stocks historically has been driven by the amount of news flow generated from clinical developments. During the next few months, there are several major scientific medical conferences that should highlight the continued advancement of biological therapies for major human diseases.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years, or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $42,091 - a 320.91% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Yolanda Strock, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Yolanda?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -5.42%, roughly on par with the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which fell 5.19%. The fund outperformed the broader market, as represented by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -6.92%, lagging the -3.76% return for the Goldman Sachs index, but outperforming the -24.39% return of the S&P 500 index.

Q. What factors helped the fund perform in line with the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. Underweighting biotechnology stocks was helpful, as this group underperformed other areas of health care. Superior stock selection within the biotechnology arena further enhanced the fund's relative gains. Additionally, being more exposed to strong performing health care distributors, such as Cardinal Health and McKesson, worked out well. However, the fund's performance edge in those industries was offset by weaker stock selection in three other areas: branded pharmaceuticals, managed health care and health care equipment. The bulk of the health care sector's negative return was the result of a variety of factors, including richly valued stock prices, concerns about patent expirations and political reforms that weighed heavily on the large-cap drug stocks I emphasized in the fund.

Q. Can you elaborate on the factors that hurt drug stocks in 2001?

A. Coming into 2001, the valuations of drug stocks were high relative to the other areas of the market, and part of their poor stock performance during the past six months was the result of investors taking profits. Additionally, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) handed down some decisions that hurt several companies. For example, Schering-Plough tumbled after the FDA determined that the company's production facilities didn't meet certain cleanliness standards. What's more, investors grew nervous about the increasing length of time it takes to get new products approved by the FDA. A longer approval process delayed the launch of new drugs that could have hit the market and offset several high-profile patent expirations.

Q. What key strategies did you implement?

A. I overweighted drug stocks because they are viewed as defensive and typically outperform during periods of slowing economic growth. While the performance of drug stocks has been more erratic so far in 2001, I continued to emphasize my favorite names - such as Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb - for their strong product pipelines and the industry's favorable demographic trends. I also continued to overweight drug distributors such as Cardinal Health, which have maintained strong earnings growth. Turning to biotechnology stocks, I pared back the fund's weighting given the market's current favoritism toward more mature companies with consistent earnings growth.

Q. What stocks stood out as top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Biopharmaceutical firm Gilead Sciences, the fund's top contributor, performed well on promising results for its HIV drug, Tenofovir, as well as high expectations for two other drugs in its pipeline. Johnson & Johnson, another top contributor, benefited from positive clinical results on an antibiotic-coated stent designed to prevent arteries from re-clogging after angioplasty surgery. The company also successfully defended the bulk of the patent-infringement cases brought against it by competitor Boston Scientific. Even though health care companies had higher earnings than the broader market, investors' anticipation of an economic turnaround and faster earnings growth for other sectors made drug stocks - including Pfizer and Pharmacia - less attractive. Elsewhere, Guidant suffered after it failed to receive a recommendation from an FDA advisory panel on its congestive heart failure device, Contak.

Q. What's your outlook for the health care sector, Yolanda?

A. I think pharmaceutical stocks are poised for a strong second half of 2001. Excluding 1993, there's only been one month during the past 10 years - March of 2000 - when the valuations of drug stocks were reduced to the same price-to-earnings multiple as the S&P 500. During the six months following that occasion, drug stocks went on to outperform the index by roughly 50%. A similar valuation decline occurred again during this past period. Additionally, only once in the past 38 quarters have health care stocks not outperformed the broader market when they've been below relative historical valuations and had better relative earnings growth. I'll also be paying close attention to biotechnology stocks, given the potential amount of news flow generated from a busy scientific conference schedule later this year.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Medical Delivery Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $24,458 - a 144.58% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Sanjeev Makan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Medical Delivery Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Sanjeev?

A. It performed very well. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 7.38%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - fell 5.19%. The fund also compares its performance to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which dropped 7.97% during the same time period. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 34.24%, beating the performance of the Goldman Sachs index, which declined 3.76%, and the S&P 500 index, which fell 24.39%.

Q. How did you beat the performance of the fund's benchmarks by such a wide margin?

A. The fund invests in a much narrower range of stocks than the Goldman Sachs index. Most of the fund's holdings are defensive in nature, so the economic slowdown meant good news for many medical delivery stocks. In particular, the fund's focus on hospitals, which were among the best performers in the health care sector, helped its relative performance. By contrast, the Goldman Sachs index included a larger component of pharmaceutical and biotechnology issues, which were more volatile during the period and did not do as well. The S&P 500 index, which invests in an even broader range of stocks, including large-cap technology stocks, had much greater exposure to the economic slowdown, hurting its performance to an even larger degree.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. I looked for companies that would benefit from a more favorable environment resulting from increased Medicare reimbursements approved by Congress. In particular, I increased the fund's focus on those companies that were helped by improved pricing from both private payers and Medicare. Among the strongest performers were hospitals and nursing homes. These companies also were helped by ongoing strength in admission growth as they grew market share and benefited from the increasing demands of an aging population.

Q. What stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. As I mentioned, the fund's hospital stocks generally did well. Tenet and HCA, both large hospital management companies, performed well due to improved pricing and strong admission growth. McKesson operates a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor and an information technology (IT) company for health care providers. It surprised skeptical investors by executing effectively on its drug distribution strategy. The company also integrated its IT business, which benefited from improved financial conditions in the health care industry, spurring hospitals and doctors to increase IT spending.

Q. What stocks hurt the fund's performance?

A. Insurers CIGNA and Aetna performed poorly for the same reasons that hospitals performed so well. As volumes increased, insurers were hurt by higher-than-expected costs due to greater-than-expected medical cost inflation. Specifically, medical claims increased faster than anticipated, and insurers' costs went up, causing their stocks to perform poorly. Priority Healthcare's profitability came under pressure in an increasingly competitive environment, and its stock performance slumped.

Q. What's your outlook for the coming months, Sanjeev?

A. In light of the recent tragic events in this country that occurred shortly after the close of the period, there is clearly greater uncertainty in the outlook for the economy and the more economically sensitive sectors in particular. Because of their defensive nature, however, health care companies have enjoyed very stable demand for some time now and, to date, many continue to enjoy relatively strong pricing ability. While several of these stocks have performed well and are more expensive than they were a year ago, I believe the outlook for this sector remains better than most of the economy. As I look to the near-term, I remain optimistic about the prospects for medical delivery stocks.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on April 28, 1998. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio on April 28, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $18,230 - an 82.30% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $10,906 - a 9.06% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Christine Schaulat, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Christine?

A. The fund performed relatively well in a difficult market environment. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -3.76%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - declined 5.19% during the period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -2.12%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -3.76% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors helped the fund's performance during the six-month period?

A. Given the disappointing earnings growth posted by other sectors, the defensive nature of health care stocks resulted in relatively positive performance. Regardless of the economic climate, people still need to go to hospitals, and still require medical devices and medicines, so the earnings growth of health care companies is typically less affected by an economic downturn. During this particular period, investors gravitated toward the group's reliable earnings growth and the fund benefited accordingly. Good stock selection within the orthopedic area also helped, as did the fund's minimal exposure to biotechnology stocks, which struggled during the period.

Q. Can you provide more detail on some of the stocks that boosted the fund's performance?

A. The fund's best performer was Minnesota-based St. Jude Medical, which develops, manufactures and distributes a variety of cardiology-related devices. The company's development of a new dual-chamber heart defibrillator enabled it to gain market share over its competitors during the period. Orthopedics was another area of opportunity, as the group benefited from strong growth in the number of procedures performed, as well as pricing increases and a willingness on the part of investors to pay up for earnings growth. As such, the fund's stake in Biomet - which makes hip and knee joint replacement devices - contributed positively. The fund's investments in MiniMed, which makes insulin pumps for diabetic patients, and C.R. Bard, a leading medical device company, also performed well, as both of these companies were acquired during the period.

Q. You've been a big believer in cardio-related stocks since you began managing the fund. How did this group perform during the period?

A. Cardio stocks in general were a mixed bag. Guidant - the fund's largest individual position at the end of the period - struggled as the market became increasingly concerned about the company's stent business. At issue was the potential for drug coated stents to enter the U.S. market in 2003, and the fact that Guidant had fallen behind other competitors in terms of developing these new products. Guidant also failed to receive FDA approval for its new heart failure device. Medtronic, meanwhile, was another disappointment as the stock struggled in 2001 due to its high valuation at the end of 2000. On a positive note, St. Jude, as I mentioned earlier, continued to gain market share and performed well. In general, I'm still optimistic on cardio stocks over the long term, as the outlook for procedure growth remains compelling. Cardiology is where the growth is in the medical device world.

Q. Which other stocks performed well? Which were disappointments?

A. Baxter International continued to perform well, as demand for recombinant Factor VIII - the company's blood-clotting medicine for hemophiliac patients - remained strong. Drug distributor Cardinal Health was another solid performer. In terms of disappointments, the fund's investment in Waters depreciated during the period. Waters makes analytical tools that assist pharmaceutical companies in the drug discovery process, and demand for these products tapered off as the period progressed. Eye care company Bausch & Lomb was another weak performer. Much of the company's profitability comes from saline solution sales, which declined as more and more people switched to disposable contact lenses.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The horrific events that took place in the U.S. on September 11, after the end of the period, will most likely have a negative effect on our economy. As a result, investors may continue to be on the lookout for stable earnings growth and stability, which I believe the health care sector can continue to provide.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative Total Returns

Life of
fund

Select Pharmaceuticals

-3.20%

Select Pharmaceuticals (load adj.)

-6.10%

S&P 500

-5.93%

GS Health Care

-3.33%

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on June 18, 2001. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector. Issues in the index include providers of health care related services including long-term care and hospital facilities, health care management organizations and continuing care services. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old. In addition, the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund will appear in the fund's next report six months from now.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Yolanda Strock, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Pharmaceuticals Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Yolanda?

A. From its inception on June 18, 2001, through August 31, 2001, the fund returned -3.20%. This return was in line with the Goldman Sachs Health Care Index - an index of 111 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the health care sector - which fell 3.33%. The fund outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 5.93% during the same period. Going forward, we'll look at the fund's performance in six- and 12-month intervals.

Q. How would you characterize the recent market environment for pharmaceutical stocks?

A. Coming into 2001, the valuations of drug stocks were high relative to the other areas of the market, as investors shifted out of more speculative growth companies and toward stocks with stable earnings growth, such as pharmaceuticals. For most of 2001, however, investors took profits in drug stocks, which put downward pressure on prices. The bulk of the health care sector's negative return was the result of this profit-taking. In particular, the declining valuation of both Pfizer and Pharmacia, two of the fund's largest detractors, are cases in point. Additionally, a variety of industry factors, including concerns about patent expirations, a lengthening of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval process and potential political reforms weighed heavily on the fund.

Q. Do you expect these factors to put further pressure on stock prices?

A. In the short term, perhaps. Investors grew nervous about the increasing length of time it takes to get new products approved by the FDA, which delayed the launch of new drugs that could have hit the market and offset several high-profile patent expirations. Patent expirations have allowed cheaper generic drugs to take market share away from large companies selling branded drugs. For example, Merck pre-announced weaker second-quarter earnings because its gross profit margins deteriorated more than expected in the face of generic competition. The good news is that the worst stretch of the industry's patent expirations should end this calendar year. Furthermore, the proliferation of generic drugs has benefited some companies, such as Barr Laboratories and Cardinal Health, two of the fund's top performers. In terms of political reforms, the near-term likelihood of Medicare drug benefit legislation - which could reduce the pricing power of drug companies, and possibly profits - is uncertain. While these factors may cause some short-term volatility, there are more influential long-term factors that make pharmaceuticals look attractive.

Q. Can you elaborate on those positive factors?

A. To begin with, the industry is spending more than ever before on research and development - in excess of $30 billion in 2001 - for new compounds to address unmet medical needs and major diseases. Additionally, there are thousands of potential treatments for diseases currently in clinical trials. Another positive factor is demographics. The baby-boomer generation continues to age, entering the most health-care intensive period of their lives. This trend could drive the volume growth of pharmaceutical companies over the next 10-20 years. Further, advances in biotechnology, such as the mapping of the human genome, have increased the number of targets at which to aim new medicines.

Q. More than 40% of the fund's assets were invested in drug companies based overseas. Why?

A. The pharmaceutical industry is now global. U.S.-based pharmaceutical companies generate roughly 40% of their annual sales from overseas operations. Pharmaceutical companies based overseas sell roughly 50% of their drugs in the U.S. Owning both domestic and international-based firms adds diversification to the fund, helping to reduce risk. The positive effects of diversification were illustrated by European-based Bayer's voluntary recall of its Baycol cholesterol drug in August, which was linked to 52 deaths and kidney failure, and used by roughly 700,000 Americans. One of the biggest benefits of this recall was higher sales for Pravacol, a cholesterol drug made by Bristol-Myers Squibb, the fund's top holding. This recall helped make Bristol our top performer. Owning overseas drug companies also gives me the flexibility to take advantage of new product cycles that look promising. For example, European-based AstraZeneca has its own cholesterol drug, Crestor, that is expected to be available in 2002.

Q. What's your outlook, Yolanda?

A. I think pharmaceutical stocks have the potential for a strong second half of 2001. Excluding 1993, there's only been one month during the past 10 years - March of 2000 - when the valuations of drug stocks were reduced to the same price-to-earnings multiple as the S&P 500. During the six months following that occasion, drug stocks went on to outperform the index by roughly 50%. A similar valuation decline occurred again during this past period. Additionally, only once in the past 38 quarters have health care stocks not outperformed the broader market when they've been below relative historical valuations and had better relative earnings growth.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $25,685 - a 156.85% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Scott Offen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Energy Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Scott?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -8.02%, slightly outpacing the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - an index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector - which returned -8.14%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -7.94%, while the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -8.25% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What was the market like for energy stocks during the past six months?

A. Energy stocks fared reasonably well early on, until even they fell victim to the weakness spreading through the broader market during the summer months. Still, the sector showed some strength relative to other areas, particularly the beleaguered technology and telecommunications groups. Fueling this relative performance was a stronger-than-average pricing environment for oil and natural gas. OPEC - the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries - proved successful in maintaining control of production levels, which helped sustain the price of oil in the wake of a severe downturn in the global economy. Strong demand for oil and gasoline in the U.S. late in 2000, coupled with tight supply, caused OPEC to increase production twice, but not until oil had reached a lofty $37 per barrel and gas was scraping $2 per gallon. Much of the past six months saw slower-than-expected demand due to economic and weather factors and growing supply pressure, which caused inventories to rise and prices to fall. Strong oil flows from OPEC's previous production hikes, rising imports from Europe and refiners running at full tilt flooded the market, dragging prices to as low as nearly $24 per barrel. OPEC responded with two sizable production cuts during the first quarter of 2001. This action, plus a pick-up in gasoline consumption during the summer, began to lower inventories, yet gas prices still retreated to their lowest level in 18 months.

Q. What about natural gas?

A. A very tight supply of natural gas caused a threefold increase in the price of this commodity prior to the start of the period. However, that was all given back, and then some, in the spring and summer of 2001 as significant new injections from a couple of big finds in Canada teamed with slackening demand to sack prices.

Q. What factors had the most influence on fund performance during the period?

A. Positive security selection gave us a slight edge over the Goldman Sachs index. Focusing on the major integrated oil companies proved wise, as these firms generally benefited from better-than-average refining margins due to high oil prices. Conoco, Chevron and Texaco were some of the big winners here. We also had ample exposure to refining stocks, such as Tosco, which benefited from more stringent environmental regulations aimed at cleaner emissions. Our exploration and production holdings got an early boost from relatively high natural gas prices, although I scaled back on the group based on the deteriorating outlook for gas. Triton Energy was a major contributor from this space, surging over 50% in July after Amerada Hess agreed to acquire the independent oil and gas company at a sweetened premium. On the downside, stocks of drillers and other energy services providers swooned as oil and gas prices declined. We suffered from holding on to the services stocks that were leveraged to oil - due to its more stable pricing outlook - and dumping those names with heavy natural gas exposure, when it would have been smarter just to sell them all. Topping the list of detractors included Halliburton, Weatherford, National-Oilwell and Transocean Sedco Forex. Having virtually no exposure outside of energy also hurt relative to the Goldman Sachs index, which includes stocks from other industries within the natural resources sector - such as paper, forest products and non-ferrous metals - that far outpaced the market during the period. Stocks within these cyclically oriented groups responded well to the Federal Reserve Board's easier monetary policy to stimulate economic growth.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The positive energy story is not finished, in my opinion, thanks to a favorable long-term trend in the supply/demand balance for the resource. But within the trend, inventory cycles likely will continue to provoke commodity and share price fluctuations. The integrated oil companies could be the big surprise here because they're running their businesses better and, therefore, even in a cyclical business, I believe they deserve higher valuations.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Energy Service Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $26,914 - a 169.14% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Nick Tiller, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Energy Service Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Nick?

A. Not well. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of -34.20%, significantly underperforming the -7.97% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund also trailed the -8.14% return posted by the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - an index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -33.46%, compared with -24.39% and -8.25% for the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund trail its indexes during the six-month period?

A. The energy services group tends to be more volatile than either integrated energy or exploration and production (E&P) stocks in response to movements in the prices of crude oil and natural gas. Oil was little changed, finishing the period roughly where it began near the $27-per-barrel level. However, natural gas dropped by more than half, ending August at approximately $2.30 per thousand cubic feet. With lower gas prices providing a disincentive for exploration, the earnings prospects for many energy services companies rapidly deteriorated. While the Goldman Sachs index includes energy services stocks, its performance also is influenced by the shares of integrated energy and E&P companies, as well as paper and mining stocks. These other groups all outperformed energy services stocks. A slumping economy hurt the S&P 500, but steep declines in some sectors of that index were partially offset by better performance in others.

Q. Why did natural gas prices plummet?

A. The primary influence was faltering demand triggered by the slowing economy. Additionally, gas prices had been high by historical standards, leading some users with energy-intensive applications - such as aluminum and fertilizer producers - to close or cut back their operations. Expanding supply also played a part in the gas price decline. At one point during the period, there were over 1,000 drilling rigs operating in the United States, a level of activity not seen since the 1980s.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. I tried to position the fund defensively. On the one hand, I increased exposure to large-capitalization energy services companies - such as Schlumberger, Halliburton and especially Baker Hughes - that had more diversified operations and would likely be less sensitive to falling gas prices. Furthermore, I favored companies deriving a larger percentage of their revenues from international operations, as these firms tend to have a larger stake in the crude oil market.

Q. Which stocks did well for the fund?

A. Although none rose meaningfully in the face of the group's precipitous decline, Key Energy Services and Maverick Tube made very modest positive contributions to the fund's performance.

Q. Which stocks were the biggest detractors?

A. All of the fund's core holdings experienced significant declines. For example, Nabors Industries, a North American gas driller, was a victim of the worsening outlook for gas-oriented companies. Transocean Sedco Forex was appealing because of its international exposure, but many investors sold the stock because of problems with some of the company's new drilling rigs. Weatherford International was another detractor. The stock remains a core holding because of its significant oil exposure, solid management team and proprietary drilling technologies.

Q. What's your outlook, Nick?

A. Despite their recent sharp setback, I believe the prospects for energy services stocks are favorable. Now that gas prices are lower, we are seeing the number of drilling rigs fall, a factor that should tend to limit supplies. Moreover, lower gas prices could make it economically feasible for many energy-intensive businesses to resume operation, boosting demand. On the oil side, prices reacted to the terrorist attacks of September 11, after the end of the period, by rising the first day, then dropping sharply on increasing fears of a worldwide recession. However, if oil supplies are disrupted for any reason, prices could rise. Moreover, concerns about terrorism could generate increasing support in the U.S. for energy self-sufficiency. For example, President Bush already has an energy plan before Congress that includes incentives for domestic drilling, which could be a positive development for the energy service industry. A final bullish factor is that valuations in the sector are as compelling as they've been for the past several years.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Gold Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have been $11,184 - an 11.84% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Niel Marotta, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Gold Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Niel?

A. Quite well. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 12.69%, well ahead of the -7.97% return posted by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund also bettered the -8.14% mark recorded by the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index, an index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned 12.27%, compared with -24.39% and -8.25% for the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund outperform its benchmarks during the past six months?

A. The S&P 500's poor performance reflected sharply lower earnings for the stocks included in that index. Companies across a variety of sectors suffered as the economic slowdown that began in earnest in the fall of 2000 gained momentum. The price of gold, on the other hand, was little changed during the period and even enjoyed a brief upward spike in May. Interestingly, gold stocks were much stronger than the yellow metal itself. Meanwhile, energy stocks, a fairly important component of the Goldman Sachs index, were weak mainly due to falling prices for natural gas. The fund's lack of exposure to these stocks was a major contributor to its outperformance of the Goldman Sachs index.

Q. Why did gold stocks perform so much better than the metal itself?

A. I think some gold stock investors were encouraged by the fact that even though the price of gold did not finish the period much higher than it started, it stopped going down. Furthermore, gold stocks are not subject to certain factors that tend to depress the price of the metal, such as central bank sales and producer hedging. Another favorable influence was the fact that as short-term interest rates fell sharply, real interest rates - that is, nominal interest rates minus the rate of inflation - approached zero, making gold-related investments more attractive compared with many interest-bearing investments.

Q. Which stocks helped the fund's performance most?

A. Meridian Gold headed the list of positive contributors. The company made a substantial find in Chile totaling an estimated 400,000 ounces of gold. Also helping the fund's performance was Goldcorp, which owns one of the highest-grade mines in the world. Goldcorp continued to meet and in some cases beat its production and earnings estimates while also lowering its costs and improving its reserve grade. Another strong holding, Agnico-Eagle, strengthened its balance sheet and had promising drilling results at its recently opened Laronde mine in Canada.

Q. Which stocks detracted from performance?

A. The worst detractor, Teck Corporation, merged with zinc producer Cominco during a time of weakness in zinc prices. Cominco, a seller of power to California, also was negatively affected by the price caps imposed on power prices by the federal government. Stillwater Mining, Anglo American Platinum and Impala Platinum all suffered from sharply falling platinum prices that were triggered by growing supply and shrinking demand for platinum jewelry and industrial applications. In the case of tantalum producer Sons of Gwalia, slackening demand for cellular phones, laptops and other technology products containing tantalum was a negative factor.

Q. What's your outlook, Niel?

A. Although central bank sales and producer hedging continue to keep a lid on gold prices, a weakening dollar provided a more favorable backdrop for gold during the summer. If this trend continues, more investors could turn to gold as a currency of last resort, especially in the wake of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, after the end of the period. The other factor to keep an eye on over the longer term is inflation. Inflation is currently benign, but the combination of an economic recovery, a weaker dollar and the stimulative monetary policy pursued by the Federal Reserve Board could eventually trigger its return. Gold tends to do well in an inflationary environment. Absent more upside progress from the yellow metal over the near term, however, I would expect gold stocks to retreat because they are currently selling at prices reflecting the anticipation of a rally in gold.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on March 3, 1997. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector. Issues in the index include extractive industries including gold and precious metals mining along with other mineral mining, energy companies providing oil and gas services, and owners and operators of timber tracts and forestry services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Natural Resources Portfolio on March 3, 1997 when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $14,202 - a 42.02% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $15,170 - a 51.70% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Scott Offen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Natural Resources Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Scott?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -5.93%. That performance topped the Goldman Sachs Natural Resources Index - an index of 118 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the natural resources sector - and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which returned -8.14% and -7.97%, respectively. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -4.05%, while the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -8.25% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors drove the natural resources sector amid a particularly difficult six-month period for the overall market?

A. Although not immune to a sharply slowing economy, the natural resources sector was able to sidestep the full brunt of the downturn faced by certain segments of the market, particularly within the areas of technology and telecommunications. Energy, by far the sector's largest industry component, helped fuel this performance behind a stronger-than-average pricing environment for oil and natural gas. OPEC - the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries - proved successful in maintaining control of production levels, which helped sustain the price of oil. Strong demand for oil and gasoline in the U.S. late in 2000, coupled with tight supply, caused OPEC to increase production twice, but not until oil had reached a lofty $37 per barrel and gas was scraping $2 per gallon. Much of the past six months saw slower-than-expected demand due to economic and weather factors, and growing supply pressure, which caused inventories to rise and prices to fall. Strong oil flows from OPEC's previous production hikes, rising imports from Europe and refiners running at full tilt flooded the market, dragging prices to as low as nearly $24 per barrel. OPEC responded with two sizable production cuts during the first quarter of 2001. This action, plus a pick-up in gasoline consumption during the summer, began to lower inventories, yet gas prices still retreated to their lowest level in 18 months.

Q. What about natural gas and some of the non-energy industries?

A. A very tight supply of natural gas caused a threefold increase in the price of this commodity prior to the start of the period. However, that was all given back, and then some, in the spring and summer of 2001, as significant new injections from a couple of big finds in Canada teamed with slackening demand to sack prices. Outside of energy, the other natural resources industries - including paper and forest products and non-ferrous metals - tend to be economically sensitive. Stocks within these groups responded well to the Federal Reserve Board's easier monetary policy to stimulate economic growth.

Q. Why did the fund outpace the Goldman Sachs benchmark during the period?

A. Strong stock picking in energy was the key to our success relative to the index. Focusing on the major integrated oil companies proved wise, as these firms generally benefited from better-than-average refining margins due to high oil prices. Conoco and Chevron were the big winners here. We also had ample exposure to refining stocks, such as Tosco, which benefited from more stringent environmental regulations aimed at cleaner emissions. Our exploration and production holdings, such as EOG Resources, got an early boost from high natural gas prices, although I scaled back on the group based on the deteriorating outlook for gas. Elsewhere, the fund's emphasis on aluminum and paper stocks paid off, as did an out-of-benchmark stake in chemicals. From those respective groups, Alcoa benefited from idling production in certain regions and selling its high-priced power back to the grid operators amid the power crisis in the western United States. International Paper rode a wave of industry consolidation, improved operations and attractive valuations. PolyOne was simply a chemical play on falling gas prices that worked.

Q. What moves restrained performance?

A. Stocks of drillers and other energy services providers swooned as oil and gas prices declined. We suffered from holding on to the services stocks that were leveraged to oil - due to its more stable pricing outlook - and dumping those names with heavy natural gas exposure, when it would have been smarter just to sell them all. Top detractors included Halliburton, Weatherford, Ensco and National-Oilwell.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The positive energy story is not finished, in my opinion - thanks to a favorable long-term trend in the supply/demand balance for the resource. But within the trend, inventory cycles likely will continue to provoke commodity and share price fluctuations. The integrated oil companies could be the big surprise here because they're running their businesses better and, therefore, even in a cyclical business, I believe they deserve higher valuations.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the life of fund total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year or since the fund started on February 4, 1998. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio on February 4, 1998, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $16,831 - a 68.31% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $11,794 - a 17.94% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: James Morrow became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio on July 10, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, James?

A. The fund declined modestly during the period but performed very well compared to its benchmarks. During the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund declined 2.31%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - fell 20.25%. The broader stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, lost 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 6.90%, substantially beating the performance of the Goldman Sachs index, which returned -63.36%, and the S&P 500, which returned -24.39%.

Q. Why did the fund beat the overall technology sector and the stock market during the six-month period?

A. Technology stocks as well as the overall market continued to experience sharply falling earnings, pushing down stock values. Investors looked widely for lower-risk, lower-volatility places to put their money. Many of them saw outsourcing stocks as a way to invest in technology while potentially avoiding some of the risk associated with the sector. Some observers consider outsourcing stocks to be less volatile because they're generally backed by recurring earnings. As an example, consider First Data, the fund's largest holding as of August 31. First Data processes credit-card transactions and receives a fee for each one it handles. As long as credit cards remain widely used, the company can count on a fairly predictable revenue stream.

Q. Can you describe your investment approach since you began managing the fund on July 10?

A. While there have been no dramatic changes, I sought to invest the fund's assets in a somewhat more concentrated way. I especially looked for attractive outsourcing opportunities in five key areas - data processing, diversified financial services, information-technology consulting, enterprise software, and advertising and media stocks. My goal was to invest in what I thought were the best stocks in each area, and which offered appealing growth opportunities for fund shareholders.

Q. What were some of the stocks that helped fund performance?

A. Affiliated Computer Services, a software company that facilitates transactions for securities firms and other businesses, was the top contributor to fund results. The firm's earnings grew faster than those of its competitors and, as earnings increased, investors bid up the stock price. Eventually, the fund's holdings in Affiliated Computer were scaled back to take advantage of the rapid price appreciation. As of August 31, we no longer owned the stock in the fund. First Data, which I mentioned earlier, and competitor Concord EFS also were strong performers for the fund. These companies benefited from continued strong growth in credit-card use. Equifax, the largest credit-reporting agency in the United States, was another positive-performing stock for the fund. The company experienced strong demand for its services as more homeowners looked to refinance mortgages.

Q. What were some stocks that hurt results?

A. The fund's weakest performer was Computer Sciences. It provides consulting services to the technology industry and was the fund's second-largest holding six months ago. The company's stock declined in mid-March after announcing that its first-quarter earnings would fall well short of what analysts expected. Amdocs was another significant holding that hurt fund returns. The company supplies software to the wireless telecommunications industry. During the period, Amdocs' stock fell along with the fortunes of the telecom companies, a downturn that severely limited capital spending and sharply cut demand for its products. Also slowing fund performance were several advertising-related companies, including the Interpublic Group of Companies and Omnicom Group. Both firms lowered their earnings expectations during a broad slowdown in ad spending. Their stocks declined in response.

Q. What's your outlook, James?

A. I'm optimistic that the trend of outsourcing major business functions will continue. Especially during a slowing economy, large corporations often look to focus on their core competencies. As the pressure to deliver earnings growth increases, these businesses face a strong incentive to eliminate functions that don't directly contribute to their shareholders' bottom line. Such responsibilities might include managing payroll, processing credit-card transactions or providing consumer credit services, to name just a few. If this trend continues, I think outsourcing stocks - and the fund - may benefit in the long term.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Computers Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $62,817 - a 528.17% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Telis Bertsekas became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Computers Portfolio on June 13, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Telis?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -10.72%, topping the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the broader technology sector - which fell 20.25%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -61.66%, while the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -63.36% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What were the keys to outperforming the Goldman Sachs index during this time frame?

A. Becoming more conservative in the face of a sharply slowing economy and deteriorating fundamentals paid off nicely relative to the index. Our research correctly anticipated the dramatic shift in information technology (IT) spending from the troubled high-growth areas of the market, such as networking equipment, to more traditional IT in personal computers, mainframes and back-office software. We were rewarded for playing this cyclical shift toward integration - putting back-end processing in sync with all of the money spent on consumer-oriented, front-end Internet applications during the late-1990s boom - and stocking up on several high-quality semiconductor stocks that shined during the period. NVIDIA, Analog Devices and Micron Technology topped a long list of chip stocks that benefited from an improving PC component environment. NVIDIA was sold off prior to the close of the period. The fund also got a lift from secular trend stories, namely Adobe - a graphic design software company not as exposed to IT spending cycles - which benefited from the shift to more digital content on the Internet. Good stock picking and timely trading among some of the more aggressive enterprise software groups, such as e-business applications, further aided performance. NetIQ was a notable contributor here. Finally, demand remained red-hot for consumer electronics, which was great news for us as we continued to emphasize dominant players in this space, such as Best Buy.

Q. How have you positioned the fund since taking over in June?

A. I came in with a fairly cautious view of the overall IT spending environment and, as such, positioned the fund a little more conservatively with respect to high-quality companies with poor short-term outlooks. For example, I reduced the fund's weighting in more aggressive computer storage and hardware companies, such as EMC and Sun Microsystems - two of the fund's top detractors - and added exposure to software and semiconductor stocks that were trading cheap based on their near-term prospects. Although we suffered from being too aggressive overall early on, positioning the fund in a more balanced way and becoming much more valuation conscious at least retrieved some relative performance toward the end of the period as the market further weakened.

Q. Where did the fund lose ground?

A. Having exposure to the optical networking space really hurt, as companies such as Ciena buckled from huge overcapacity issues and virtually no IT spending. It was a different story among PC-related software and hardware stocks. While we had several good picks of the more stable variety from these groups that managed to buck the downtrend, we just didn't own enough of them on average. What we lost relative to the index by underweighting Microsoft and IBM overwhelmed all that we gained by overweighting Computer Associates and Dell. With respect to EMC and Sun Microsystems, the environment for servers and storage simply deteriorated faster than those companies could gain market share.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The overall backdrop for IT spending should improve with the economy in the next six to 12 months, and the fund is positioned for that recovery through stock selection and a more balanced distribution of holdings between high-growth leadership companies and companies defined as growth at a reasonable price. Although it may prove early, I became slightly more aggressive late in the period and added to some beaten-up growth names with sound long-term prospects. I felt it important to try and upgrade the portfolio heading into this stage of the cycle, as it's typically the highest-quality companies that lead the way out of a downturn.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Developing Communications Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $47,675 - a 376.75% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Shep Perkins became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Developing Communications Portfolio on June 13, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Shep?

A. It continued to be a tough environment. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -19.17%. The Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - declined 20.25% during the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 62.18%, while the Goldman Sachs index and S&P 500 returned -63.36% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. How would you describe the climate within the technology sector over the past six months?

A. The sector continued to be hampered by the slowing economy, excess capacity issues and lower overall technology spending. Because of this difficult backdrop, many of the high-growth telecommunications companies that were around a year ago - or even six months ago - either went out of business completely or dramatically curtailed their spending. This had a huge ripple effect on most of the stocks within the portfolio, which count many of these struggling companies as important customers. Competitive local exchange carriers such as XO Communications and McLeod, for example, cut back significantly on spending, as did names such as Qwest Communications and Worldcom. The fund no longer owned XO, McLeod and Qwest at the end of the period.

Q. What strategies did you pursue to try to offset
these obstacles?

A. I tried to steer the fund more toward companies that were generating stable cash flows, as well as those with established customer bases and reasonable stock valuations. For example, I added to the fund's stakes in large regional Bell operating companies such as BellSouth, Verizon and SBC Communications, each of which were top-20 holdings at the end of August. I also bumped up the fund's exposure to wireless stocks such as Vodafone and Sprint PCS, and added to its positions in cable-related names such as AOL Time Warner and Comcast. These stocks appealed to me because they had fairly steady revenue streams. Even though times were tough, we were all still paying our phone and cable bills. Each of these positions either appreciated or depreciated slightly during the period.

Q. Can you point to any other strategies that played a role in the fund's performance?

A. I also bought stocks of larger companies that were adversely affected by bankruptcy fears during the period. For instance, I increased the fund's positions in wireless equipment maker Motorola and wire line equipment maker Lucent Technologies. While both companies wrestled with weakening fundamentals, I felt that neither was likely to go bankrupt in the near term and that selling pressure could equate to good opportunities. Motorola was the fund's best individual performer during the period, while Lucent continued to struggle.

Q. You increased the fund's exposure to AT&T and Nextel
Communications during the period. Why?

A. AT&T presented a good value story for the fund. I felt the company had a valuable catalyst in the form of its cable television assets, and there was some talk of a potential spin-off with that part of its business. Takeover offers for AT&T's cable business prevented this from happening, however, and the stock performed well. AT&T was the fund's largest position at the end of the period. Nextel was my second-largest wireless play next to Motorola. Nextel had some missteps early in the period that sent its stock price plummeting, but as the period wore on I felt the company was gradually getting back on track. Unfortunately, this wasn't reflected in the stock price.

Q. Which other stocks performed well during the period? Which were disappointments?

A. Other stocks that fared well included Cabletron Systems - an infrastructure and networking communications company - and Texas Instruments, a leader in the area of semiconductors. Additional disappointments included some of the larger telecom and networking equipment vendors, such as Nortel Networks, Redback Networks and Ciena. The fund did not own Cabletron, Texas Instruments and Redback at the end of the period.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. In terms of the sector itself, I think we're still very much in a sorting out period that may take a while to completely unwind. There's a chance that the worst may be over for some areas, but many will continue to face ongoing challenges. My job, of course, will be to try to find the stocks with the brightest outlooks. Companies with solid balance sheets and positive cash flows could be among the first to emerge should we see any type of upturn.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Electronics Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $114,683 - a 1,046.83% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Brian Hanson, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Electronics Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Brian?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned 0.23%. In comparison, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - declined 20.25% during the period. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -53.54%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -63.36% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What factors influenced the fund's performance during the six-month period?

A. A majority of technology companies experienced sharp declines in revenues and earnings during the period, as the sector remained in a cyclical downturn. Several factors contributed to this climate, including the slowdown in the U.S. economy; dramatic cuts in corporate spending on technology; and a large inventory correction that affected most corners of the sector. Making matters worse, this steep fall-off in earnings came at a time when many tech stocks were trading at historically high valuations. While it continued to be a tough environment for technology stocks in general, the fund did perform well relative to its benchmarks, mostly due to strong sector and security selection.

Q. Can you elaborate?

A. The most productive contributor to the fund's performance was its large position in semiconductor stocks. While the semiconductor group struggled along with rest of the sector, I still held firm to my belief that the group was well positioned to take advantage of many of the long term trends I saw in technology. I increased the fund's stake in semiconductor stocks when many were out of favor, and the fund benefited from timely trading. Another key factor involved not what I bought, but what I didn't buy. I resisted the temptation to buy several down and out telecommunications stocks, because my research showed that it would take longer than expected for telecom equipment spending to pick up.

Q. Six months ago, your approach was more defensive-oriented. Did this philosophy remain in place, or did you become more aggressive as the period went on?

A. I entered the period with a defensive mindset, but became selectively more aggressive during months when I felt many of the stocks were oversold. Most of the stocks that I bought during the period were either long-term winners that had approached a more reasonable valuation - such as Analog Devices or Teradyne - or companies that I felt had the ability to outgrow the tech sector during both good times and bad. Examples of the latter approach were NVIDIA, the fund's best individual performer during the period, and Semtech. Conversely, when the stocks were up significantly during the period, I reduced positions in those holdings that I felt were too expensive or had poor short-term fundamentals. This included names such as Texas Instruments and Flextronics.

Q. Which stocks helped the fund perform well? Which were disappointments?

A. NVIDIA - a leading maker of graphics chips that go into everything from personal computers to video game consoles - was a standout performer. Our research showed that NVIDIA not only had an edge in its field, but that it was gaining share in new, unexplored markets. Though the technology climate was tough during this period, I felt that NVIDIA would grow faster than the industry and my belief was rewarded nicely. Other stocks that helped performance included top holding Micron Technology, Analog Devices and Texas Instruments. Disappointments included Sanmina, which specializes in electronics manufacturing, Vitesse Semiconductor and Applied Micro Circuits.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I think the volatility in the sector is here to stay, at least for the short term. The downturn won't last forever, but that doesn't help in terms of forecasting when we'll be seeing the bottom of the market. In analyzing past cycles, I've found that the stocks tend to bottom out when revenue growth rates reach their low point. Most industry analysts expected this to happen by year-end. However, the tragedy of September 11, 2001, after the period had ended, creates more uncertainty. On one hand, the Federal Reserve Board was aggressively lowering interest rates and on the other, we've seen rising unemployment and concern over the potential impact a U.S. war on terrorism could have on the economy. Valuations also are a mixed bag. In terms of the fund, I plan on taking advantage of any volatility to upgrade the fund's portfolio. The best thing I can do for shareholders is to make sure the fund owns the right mix of stocks, and to emphasize those that I feel will come out of the downturn more quickly.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the cyclical industries sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average Annual Total Returns

Average annual returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio on September 21, 2000, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have been $2,600 - a 74.00% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $7,915 - a 20.85% decrease.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Jed Weiss, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Jed?

A. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -35.27%. The Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the broader technology sector - fell 20.25% during the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. From its inception on September 21, 2000, through August 31, 2001, the fund returned -73.20%. During this same time frame, the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -59.59% and -20.85%, respectively.

Q. What factors weighed on networking and infrastructure stocks during the past six months?

A. The group continued to suffer from weak demand caused by cuts in information technology (IT) spending. Weaker economic growth - coupled with a tougher funding environment for telecommunications and Internet companies - induced sharp cutbacks in corporate IT budgets, which spelled trouble for technology suppliers. A bandwidth glut caused by years of large-scale spending by voice and data carriers in the buildout of next-generation communications networks further curtailed demand for telecom gear. As orders dried up from competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), emerging data carriers and even traditional service providers, an inventory correction resulted at each link along the telecom food chain - from equipment to components - that lowered earnings projections for the group and battered stock prices.

Q. Why did the fund trail the Goldman Sachs index during the past six months?

A. Given the fund's charter to emphasize networking and infrastructure stocks, it was more heavily exposed to the weakest area of technology compared to the Goldman Sachs index - a much broader measure of the tech sector's performance. Having exposure to some stocks with high valuations in the optical networking space really hurt as they all collapsed. I stuck with names such as Ciena and Tellium - companies with new technologies aimed at solving pressing bottleneck problems in the network - which I felt would buck the downtrend. However, while they fared better than many other optical equipment companies, the magnitude of the telecom equipment slump caused even these stocks eventually to succumb. The fund's positioning among software and hardware stocks further hampered relative performance. We were hurt versus the Goldman Sachs index for owning more aggressive, infrastructure-related names such as Veritas Software and Sun Microsystems, at the expense of more stable, PC-driven companies such as Microsoft and IBM in a period of declining fundamentals.

Q. What moves did you make in light of this rather bleak market environment?

A. I accentuated a two-pronged strategy I had in place during the previous period of playing cheap, conservative stocks less vulnerable to the supply/demand imbalance, as well as those tied to product cycles, to help give the fund some upside when market conditions finally do improve. I also had a bit more of a value bias, focusing on cheap and improving stories as opposed to expensive high-flyers. My first move was to increase the fund's weighting in regional bell operating companies (RBOCs), such as top-10 holding BellSouth, which was cheaper and less vulnerable in a down market. Since the RBOCs enjoy better operating cash flow than emerging carriers, the outlook for the RBOCs should improve over time as the CLECs that compete with them are increasingly starved for funds. Second, I picked up some compelling values among semiconductor and semiconductor capital equipment stocks, which performed well in anticipation of an eventual improvement in the economy. Chip stock Marvell Technology further benefited from a powerful new product cycle. Finally, I added to some holdings in IT services, such as Affiliated Computer Services, for their defensive characteristics, which also helped limit the fund's downside.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. I'm still cautious for the near term as the imbalances in supply and demand unwind. We may see a resurgence in orders over the next six to nine months as firms look to replenish inventories, but I expect it will take time for demand to fully recover. When it does, I firmly believe that growth will resume and that this space should again be an attractive one relative to other areas of technology. I'll try to keep the fund in a position to benefit when fundamentals do improve by owning what I feel are long-term secular winners and by capitalizing on names that should benefit from a snapback in inventories. In the meantime, though, I may retain a somewhat conservative overall posture.

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Software and Computer Services Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $67,947 - a 579.47% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Telis Bertsekas, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Software and Computer Services Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Telis?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -8.23%, outpacing the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the broader technology sector - which returned -20.25%. During the same period, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the one-year period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -42.79%, while the Goldman Sachs and S&P 500 indexes returned -63.36% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. How did the fund manage to outperform the Goldman Sachs index given the hostile climate for tech stocks overall?

A. Being conservative - that is, not overpaying for stocks and not trying to stand in front of deteriorating fundamentals - really paid off relative to the index. This stance involved focusing on companies trading at attractive valuations and that had the best prospects for sustaining some growth and earnings power in a poor economic environment. The fund's emphasis on software and computer services stocks, which generally outperformed other areas of technology such as networking equipment, gave us an edge. It was through our positioning within those industries that we were able to widen the performance gap versus the index.

Q. Can you highlight some of your key strategies within these industries?

A. Sure. Despite yielding negative absolute returns, our software holdings accounted for the bulk of the fund's performance relative to the Goldman Sachs benchmark. Timely trading among some of the more aggressive enterprise software groups, such as e-business applications, proved critical to our success. We benefited from adding to our positions in several high-quality stocks, including Siebel Systems, that appeared oversold in April, and taking some sizable profits after a powerful, albeit brief, snapback in May. From that point on, the group's fundamental outlook - and stock performance - took a dramatic turn for the worse. Our research indicated a deceleration in the growth rate in several of the high-growth areas in software - which tend to be highly sensitive to economic cycles - due to a shift in information technology (IT) spending to more old-line areas such as back-office processing, PCs and mainframes. Anticipating this shift toward integration - putting the back end in sync with all of the money spent on the front end during the late-1990s boom - I loaded up on the more stable, old-line mainframe/PC-related software names, which bucked the downtrend and performed nicely for us. Plays on this shift included ample stakes in Computer Associates, Microsoft, PeopleSoft, Compuware and Network Associates, and underexposure to stocks such as Oracle.

Q. How did some of your other moves play out for the fund?

A. Staying with the integration theme, I also focused for much of the period on IT services stocks that benefit from more stable demand and an emerging trend toward outsourcing. Companies had a lot of complexity after spending hand over fist for new economy gear and didn't have the IT staff to install, integrate and maintain it. Data processing stocks such as First Data were particularly strong performers from the services space during the past six months. The fund also got a lift from secular trend stories, namely Adobe - a graphic design software company not as exposed to IT spending cycles - which benefited from the shift to more digital content on the Internet. Finally, we were heavily underweighted in networking stocks relative to the index, which further aided performance, as the sector suffered from overcapacity issues. On the down side, BEA Systems, Veritas Software and Micromuse topped the list of detractors. Here are three solid software companies that are leaders in their respective spaces of application servers, storage management and network management, with strong long-term outlooks that were simply overwhelmed by short-term declines in technology spending and growth rates.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The overall backdrop for software spending should improve with the economy in the next six to 12 months, and the fund is positioned for that recovery through stock selection and a more balanced distribution of holdings between high-growth leadership companies and growth at a reasonable price-type companies. Although it may prove early, I became slightly more aggressive again late in the period and added to some beaten-up growth names with sound long-term prospects. I felt it important to try and upgrade the portfolio heading into this stage of the cycle, as it's typically the highest-quality companies that lead the way out of a downturn.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector. Issues in the index include producers of sophisticated devices, services and software related to the fields of computers, electronics, networking and Internet services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Technology Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $55,584 - a 455.84% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Chris Zepf became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Technology Portfolio on June 13, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Chris?

A. It continued to be a difficult period for technology stocks. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -16.84%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Technology Index - an index of 227 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the technology sector - fell 20.25% during the same period. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. For the 12 months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -64.36%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 declined 63.36% and 24.39%, respectively.

Q. Why did technology stocks continue to underperform the broader market?

A. One of the primary catalysts behind technology stock performance is capital spending and, as the economy continued to weaken during the period, companies lowered their budgets significantly. This lack of demand - combined with the excess inventory that had been built up within the sector over the past two years - made for a very challenging environment. Revenues fell faster than expenses for most technology companies, and even the few companies that were meeting earnings growth projections were penalized along with the rest of the group.

Q. Were there any groups within the sector that offered good buying opportunities?

A. I increased the fund's exposure to semiconductor stocks - which are basically the beginning of the technology food chain - because I felt the group would be among the first to rebound as fundamentals improved. This strategy boosted performance, as the fund's top four performers for the period, in order, were semiconductor stocks NVIDIA - which specializes in 3-D and high definition technologies - Intersil, Numerical Tech and Texas Instruments. Any other opportunities within the sector were driven more by timely trading than by emphasizing any one segment. There were many instances, for instance, in which we sold out of a stock when it met our price target so we could lock in gains for shareholders. A good example is Finisar, a company that sells optical components to the data networking industry. We increased the fund's exposure to the stock during the April price drop, and reduced its stake as the period progressed. Overall, Finisar contributed positively to the fund's return.

Q. How would you describe your investing strategy?

A. I place a premium on companies that are capturing share in their respective industries; companies that are well positioned in terms of product cycles; and companies that I feel are attractively valued. There was no definable leadership group within the tech sector during the period - that is, a group you could overweight and ride for steady returns - so I emphasized individual stock research and stayed true to my valuation discipline. Fidelity has approximately 46 technology analysts around the world, and I work with them very closely to stay on top of trends and end-user demand.

Q. What types of changes have you made to the portfolio since taking over?

A. One small change is that I've pared back on some of the fund's personal computer stocks, including Hewlett-Packard and Gateway. Overall, I felt that the PC industry had become relatively mature and that sales growth would slow. I did maintain significant weightings in both Intel and Dell Computer, both of which contributed positively during the period. I also added to the fund's stake in Microsoft, which was by far our largest position at the end of the period. I felt that Microsoft's product sales would hold up relatively well during the downturn, and I liked some of the products they have in the pipeline. The stock depreciated slightly during the period. The fund did not own Hewlett-Packard or Gateway at the end of the period.

Q. Which stocks were disappointments?

A. The fund's stake in telecom equipment maker Ciena was a source of frustration. Ciena was one of the few companies to actually exceed earnings growth projections during the period, yet the stock still stumbled along with the rest of the telecommunications group. Other disappointments included Cisco Systems, EMC, Comverse Technology and Oracle.

Q. What's your outlook for the next few months, Chris?

A. As the period began, many sector followers were forecasting an economic upturn sometime later this year or in early 2002. However, in light of the tragic events that occurred in the U.S. last September 11, after the period ended, that forecast in all likelihood will be pushed out further. Important factors as we move ahead and try to regroup will be the continued unwinding of the inventory buildup we've seen within the group, as well as consumer spending patterns. I'll be keeping a close eye on both. I would remind shareholders that over extended periods of time, the technology industry has grown faster than Gross Domestic Product. We're still operating in a high-growth industry, even though it's been awfully tough to see that over the past 12-18 months.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or since the fund started on April 21, 1993. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Natural Gas Portfolio on April 21, 1993, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $21,303 - a 113.03% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $30,044 - a 200.44% increase.

Natural Gas Portfolio

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Note to shareholders: Douglas Nigen became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Natural Gas Portfolio on July 1, 2001.

Q. How did the fund perform, Doug?

A. For the six-month period ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -14.90%. The Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector - fell 12.34%, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97% for the same period. For the 12-month period ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -9.87%, while the Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -25.59% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund lag its benchmarks during the six-month period?

A. The fund was caught in the backlash of the sector's supply and demand economics. Early in the period, with natural gas prices at extremely high levels, utilities, and individual consumers found it more economical to switch their power-generating fuel needs over to oil. At the same time, though, a record number of gas rigs kept pumping away and producing. This increased the natural gas supply marginally and led to fears of having all available storage areas filled prior to the winter heating season. In combination with weak industrial demand, this strong supply caused the price of this commodity to drop precipitously. As a result, natural gas stocks were one of the weaker performing energy sectors, which is why the fund underperformed both of its broader benchmarks.

Q. What changes have you made since taking over the fund in July?

A. I really haven't made too many. I've kept my predecessor's overall strategy pretty consistent by continuing to underweight the E&P (exploration and production) and service companies, while increasing the fund's weighting of stocks that have a slightly higher exposure to pipelines and oil, such as Chevron. I implemented this investment strategy to try to offset the impact of the supply and demand problems plaguing the sector with the general stability found in oil prices during the period.

Q. What specific stocks helped the fund's performance?

A. Triton Energy was the biggest contributor to performance. Amerada Hess acquired it for a 50% premium on the stock's price, which was a big boost to the fund. Canadian company Talisman Energy was another winner. The company benefited from an increased interest in Canada-based companies believed to be potential takeover targets. The strength of oil prices helped Murphy Oil, an E&P company, hold up well despite the sector downturn. Finally, Kinder Morgan, a natural gas product and pipeline company and a top-10 fund holding, also helped performance. The company's ability to continue to grow earnings and its lack of commodity exposure set it apart from most of its competitors.

Q. Which stocks were disappointments?

A. Unfortunately, some of the fund's larger holdings, including Enron, El Paso, Williams and Transocean Sedco Forex, were hit pretty hard during the period. Energy trader Enron suffered under the weight of the overall decline in the sector's core fundamentals, as well as the surprising resignation of its CEO late in the period. However, I continued to emphasize the stock given what looked to be a cheap valuation. California regulatory issues continued to negatively impact El Paso. Williams underperformed in sympathy with El Paso's plight, and for its natural gas exposure in its E&P operations. Transocean Sedco Forex underperformed in line with other oil driller and service stocks, which were hit pretty hard during the period.

Q. What's your outlook for the sector?

A. I am cautious on the sector because of its current fundamentals. As I previously mentioned, the sector is heading into the "withdrawal season," or winter months, with a pretty healthy supply of natural gas available. If the approaching winter turns out to be normal in terms of temperature and the U.S. economy continues to slump, thereby decreasing industrial demand, the overall supply of natural gas is likely to remain plentiful. This could keep the price of natural gas depressed for the near future, which would continue to resonate negatively throughout the sector. On the positive side, the sector already has seen some underperformance, so valuations will be key in making buying decisions.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Telecommunications Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $31,136 - a 211.36% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Tim Cohen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Telecommunications Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Tim?

A. For the six-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund fell 19.31%. By comparison, the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector - declined 12.34%. The fund also lagged the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, which fell 7.97%. For the 12-month period that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -52.22%, while the Goldman Sachs index and S&P 500 index returned -25.59% and -24.39%, respectively.

Q. What caused the fund to underperform its two benchmarks during the past six months?

A. The fund held a larger percentage of poor-performing telecommunications equipment stocks that earlier had been among the highest growth areas of the sector. Additionally, the fund was heavily exposed to other industries, such as wireless, broadcasting and cable TV, that underperformed the broader indexes. After a period of rapid growth through much of the 1990s, demand for telecom services and equipment plateaued in mid-2000, while the industry struggled with overcapacity at the same time. An abrupt economic slowdown put pressure on these industries as fearful investors fled growth stocks and sought refuge in more stable growth areas, such as electric utilities, which were not owned by the fund but performed quite well and were included in both indexes. The wireless industry, for example, suffered from increasing competition, weakening demand and delays in rolling out next-generation services.

Q. Given the sector's weakness, what strategies did you implement?

A. I underweighted large national wireless service providers, such as AT&T Wireless Services and Sprint Corp.-PCS Group, given the industry's problems I mentioned earlier. This strategy helped soften the performance jolt delivered to the fund by this group. Additionally, I focused a large portion of the fund's assets on incumbent local phone companies - an area least affected by the sector's overcapacity. Many of these were regional Bell operating companies (RBOCs) - including Verizon, BellSouth and SBC Communications, for example - that were among the sector's top-performing stocks.

Q. Can you elaborate on why you emphasized RBOCs?

A. Sure. I believed the RBOCs stood to benefit from their strong competitive positions in local markets, expansion into long-distance and the addition of higher-growth services such as digital subscriber lines (DSL), which provide customers with high-speed Internet access. The regulatory climate was more favorable than at any other time during the past five years. The RBOCs continued to gain approvals to enter new long-distance markets, a likely source of incremental revenues. RBOCs by and large have been successful at bundling long-distance with local service and taking market share with minimal capital expenditure. Further, although the RBOCs were too aggressive in their projections for DSL penetration, this fast-growing segment could contribute to profits in the coming quarters.

Q. What stocks stood out as top performers? Which disappointed?

A. Defying the malaise in the wireless industry, shares of Metro One Telecommunications more than doubled during the past six months, due to strong growth in its business of providing outsourced directory assistance to wireless service providers. Shares of Monroe, La.-based CenturyTel, another incumbent local phone company serving rural U.S. areas, rose roughly 18% during a single day in August after ALLTEL made a hostile bid to acquire the company. On the down side, CIENA, a manufacturer of optical communications equipment, suffered from reduced capital expenditures by telecommunication services providers. Shares of CIENA, the fund's top detractor, fell roughly 74% during the period. Similarly, Comverse Technology, which makes software used by telecom companies to provide wireless data and messaging services, saw its stock plummet 38% during a single day in July after it announced a steep earnings shortfall in the second quarter. Comverse blamed the shortfall on reduced spending by its customers and the delayed rollout of next generation wireless networks. I sold our positions in Metro One and Comverse.

Q. What's your outlook, Tim?

A. Given the difficult economic environment, I will continue to emphasize the incumbent companies, or those with an established customer base, strong cash flow and expanding business lines in their respective industries, such as the RBOCs. These companies are least affected by the current overcapacity and lack of additional funding in the sector and have reasonable growth opportunities. Many of their competitors are still relying heavily on the debt markets to propel their growth. Elsewhere, capital expenditures by telecom service providers peaked in 2000, and I expect it could take a couple of years of lower spending before it falls back to historical long-term trend levels.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Utilities Growth Portfolio on August 31, 1991, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $31,811 - a 218.11% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,362 - a 253.62% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

John Roth, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Utilities Growth Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, John?

A. Not well. For the six months ending August 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of -14.89%, well behind the -7.97% mark recorded by the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The fund also trailed the -12.34% return of the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index, an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. For the 12 months ending August 31, 2001, the fund returned -32.75%, compared with -24.39% and -25.59% for the S&P 500 and the Goldman Sachs index, respectively.

Q. Why did the fund finish behind its two indexes?

A. The fund's greater exposure to telecommunications companies and IPPs (independent power producers) hurt its performance relative to the S&P 500. The telecommunications industry continued to experience problems due to intense competition and continued price declines driven by excess capacity. Emerging telecom companies, where a lot of the growth stories are, were especially hard-hit, as their leveraged balance sheets and decreasing revenues combined to reduce the desirability of those investments. Even the RBOCs (regional Bell operating companies), which have the strongest balance sheets and cash flows in the industry, generally were weak during the period. On the power side, our IPP holdings lagged the overall market due to declining energy prices, a less favorable supply/demand outlook and price caps on power imposed by the federal government in response to the power shortages and related problems in California. Compared with the Goldman Sachs index, the fund suffered from its heavier emphasis on IPPs and emerging telephone service companies.

Q. What was your strategy during the period?

A. I scaled back the fund's exposure to CLECs (competitive local exchange carriers) and emerging long-distance companies, while increasing its holdings of RBOCs, such as BellSouth, SBC Communications and Verizon. The investment case for the RBOC's improved considerably during the period, as they began to successfully penetrate the long-distance market and roll out DSL (digital subscriber line) service for high-speed Internet access. Additionally, the growing financial problems of the CLECs created a more favorable competitive environment for the RBOCs. Finally, the RBOCs' valuations became very attractive. I also eliminated positions in IPPs with significant commodity price exposure to the U.S. power market, while increasing holdings of integrated utilities that aren't as sensitive to falling energy prices.

Q. What stocks did well for the fund?

A. Southern Company, an integrated utility, was the fund's best performer. The company successfully completed a partial initial public offering of its IPP subsidiary and later distributed all remaining shares to Southern Company shareholders, creating significant value. Long-distance incumbent AT&T also helped the fund's performance. The stock had been driven down so far that the company became attractive as an asset play - that is, the different parts of the company were worth more than the value investors assigned to the company as a whole. This became evident as bidders began to emerge for AT&T's cable unit, which was the catalyst behind the improving stock price.

Q. What holdings failed to meet your expectations?

A. The list of detractors was headed by Qwest Communications, which owns a large broadband network whose near-term prospects for profitability appeared questionable in the current environment. AES, a global IPP, was hurt by currency problems in Argentina and Brazil, as well as by a drought that forced power rationing in Brazil. Wireless service provider Nextel Communications struggled when the prospects dimmed for the company's primary market - small businesses - as a result of the increasing likelihood of a more prolonged economic downturn.

Q. What's your outlook, John?

A. Over the near term, I think the best opportunities are likely to be found in the RBOCs and the traditional electric utilities. The outlook for IPPs continues to deteriorate. The pace of U.S. power plant construction has accelerated dramatically, and I believe the industry could be rapidly headed toward generation overcapacity in many regions, which would drive down utilization, profitability and earnings growth in this cyclical business. On the other hand, I think the RBOCs are entering a period of accelerating earnings growth and this, combined with low current valuations, makes them attractive longer-term investments. Despite its recent problems, the telecom industry should benefit over the long term from dynamic growth in demand and ongoing technological innovation.

Performance and Investment Summary

Performance

There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value). Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, or since the fund started on September 21, 2000. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks - and the Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector. Issues in the index include generators and distributors of electricity, distributors of natural gas and water, and providers of telecommunications services. These benchmarks include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

Average Annual Returns

Average annual returns take the fund's cumulative return and show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate each year. These numbers will be reported once the fund is a year old.


Understanding Performance

How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for example, has a history of long-term growth and short-term volatility. Unlike the broader market, however, some sectors may not have a history of growth in the long run. And, as with all stock funds, the share price and return of a fund that invests in a sector will vary.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund



$10,000 Over Life of Fund: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity Select Wireless Portfolio on September 21, 2000, when the fund started, and the current 3.00% sales charge was paid. As the chart shows, by August 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have been $5,390 - a 46.10% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $7,915 - a 20.85% decrease.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

Shep Perkins, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Wireless Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Shep?

A. We continued to see a difficult environment for wireless stocks. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund returned -23.13%. The Goldman Sachs Utilities Index - an index of 115 stocks designed to measure the performance of companies in the utilities sector - declined 12.34% during the same period, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index returned -7.97%. From its inception on September 21, 2000, through August 31, 2001, the fund returned -44.43%. The Goldman Sachs index and the S&P 500 returned -20.12% and -20.85%, respectively, over the same period. Going forward, we'll look at the performance of the fund and its benchmarks at six- and 12-month intervals.

Q. What factors continued to suppress performance in the wireless sector during the period?

A. The market over the past six months rewarded companies with positive cash flows, and severely punished companies with negative cash flows. Unfortunately, since many wireless telecom stocks tend to be young and emerging, they fell into the latter category. While we did see a continued economic slowdown, some of the factors that were hampering the sector six months ago began to show glimmers of improvement. For instance, subscriber growth rates during this period were better than we had originally hoped, and a number of companies did a good job of growing their earnings. However, since most market followers felt that the climate would get tougher for wireless stocks, overall valuations within the group plummeted. Also, the fund trailed its Goldman Sachs benchmark because the fund focuses exclusively on wireless telecom stocks, while the index has a broader scope.

Q. Were there pockets within the sector that offered better growth prospects than others?

A. The wireless sector is basically split up into two camps - the service providers, or carriers, and the equipment manufacturers. During this particular period, I emphasized service providers such as Vodafone and ALLTEL because these companies had positive cash flow characteristics and fairly solid balance sheets. ALLTEL - a regional U.S. wireless carrier - performed well during the period, but U.K.-based Vodafone stumbled due to deteriorating industry fundamentals throughout Europe. At the end of the period, ALLTEL and Vodafone were the fund's two largest individual stakes.

Q. What was your strategy with respect to equipment manufacturers such as Nokia or Ericsson?

A. I stayed away from equipment-related stocks for the most part. Companies such as Nokia and Ericsson - which make handsets as well as peripheral equipment such as antennas and radios - suffered significantly during the period as equipment spending slowed dramatically. My decision to underweight these types of stocks during the period proved beneficial to performance. I also kept my distance from tower equipment-related companies, many of which had high valuations and negative cash flows.

Q. Which stocks performed well during the period? Which ones were disappointing?

A. Regional wireless provider Triton PCS was a good performer, as the company benefited from strong management execution, faster growth and attractive valuations relative to national providers. Sprint PCS also performed well during the period. In terms of disappointments, the fund's positions in Comverse Technology and Nextel Communications lagged. Comverse - which makes software interface products for wireless devices - felt the brunt of the spending slowdown, as did Nextel, which lost share to aggressive competitors.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. It's been a very difficult stretch for wireless stocks, but there are some positive signs that the group will rebound over the next six to 12 months. For starters, wireless demand has been better than expected, even during this challenging climate. Also, there are indications many cash-flow negative wireless companies could start to turn positive in the first few months of 2002. In terms of the portfolio itself, I'll be keeping a close eye on the equipment manufacturers as the year winds down. Valuations have come down dramatically, which may make for some good buying opportunities. Overall, I'm still optimistic about the long-term growth prospects for the wireless industry.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Performance

To evaluate a money market fund's historical performance, you can look at either total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income. Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance. Load adjusted returns include a 3.00% sales charge.

Cumulative total returns show the fund's performance in percentage terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment would be $1,050 without including the effect of the 3.00% sales charge. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the all taxable money market funds average, which reflects the performance of 1,137 taxable money market funds with similar objectives tracked by iMoneyNet, Inc. over the past six months.

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. You can compare these yields to the all taxable money market funds average and the bank money market deposit account average (MMDA). Figures for the all taxable money market funds average are from iMoneyNet, Inc. The MMDA average is supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR(TM).


Comparing Performance

There are some important differences between a bank money market deposit account (MMDA) and a money market fund. First, the U.S. government neither insures nor guarantees a money market fund. In fact, there is no assurance that a money market fund will maintain a $1 share price. Second, a money market fund returns to its shareholders income earned by the fund's investments after expenses. This is in contrast to banks, which set their MMDA rates periodically based on current interest rates, competitors' rates, and internal criteria.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

John Todd, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Money Market Portfolio

Q. John, what was the investment environment like during the six months that ended August 31, 2001?

A. The economy continued to weaken due to the build-up of excess inventories and a slowdown in business investment spending, which had been a major catalyst of the vibrant economic growth we had witnessed during the past several years. This cutback in capital expenditure budgets was in part due to volatility in the equity markets and less favorable conditions in the debt markets. Consumer spending also declined somewhat, causing growth in gross domestic product to fall to an annualized rate of 0.2% in the second quarter of 2001. Unemployment was on the rise as firms sought to improve their bottom lines by implementing layoffs to reduce costs. As a result of the rising unemployment rate, consumer confidence started to wane and market observers feared that slower consumer spending coupled with sharply reduced corporate investment might lead to a recession.

Q. What was the Federal Reserve Board's response to the slowing economy?

A. With this in mind, the Federal Reserve Board continued to try to support economic growth by lowering short-term interest rates. The Fed was aggressive in its approach both in terms of the quickness of its responses - it cut rates seven times from the beginning of 2001 until the end of August 2001 - as well as the magnitude of the cuts in the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - known as the fed funds target rate. While the Fed generally prefers to make changes in smaller increments, it continued to reduce rates at the same pace adopted earlier in the year and cut rates by 0.50 percentage point cuts in March, April and May. All told, the Fed's actions brought the fed funds rate from 5.50% at the beginning of the period in March to 3.50% at the end of the period.

Q. What was your strategy with the fund?

A. The typical strategy in a declining rate environment is to look for opportunities to extend the fund's average maturity by locking in higher yields before they decline. During the period, however, the money market yield curve - a representation of the difference between short- and long-term yields - inverted, meaning that long-term, fixed-rate money market securities were actually yielding less than shorter-term alternatives. This inversion resulted from a combination of strong demand by investors for longer-maturity securities and issuers' preference to issue extremely short-term securities. Within this backdrop, I looked for opportunities to extend the fund's average maturity when the yields were more generous than my assumptions regarding the Fed's continued aggressive policy easing.

Q. How did the fund perform?

A. The fund's seven-day yield on August 31, 2001, was 3.37%, compared to 5.35% six months ago. For the six months that ended August 31, 2001, the fund had a total return of 2.13%, compared to 1.99% for the all taxable money market funds average, according to iMoneyNet, Inc.

Q. What's your outlook?

A. The events that took place in New York City, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania shortly after the close of the period will most likely create uncertainty for many companies going forward. While credit analysis is the primary focus of the fund at all times - in order to protect its share price and liquidity - our credit research will be even more crucial going forward as we look for attractive investment opportunities in an uncertain environment. Looking more broadly, the additional 0.50 percentage point cut implemented in September by the Fed shortly after the tragedies indicates the Fed's commitment and focus: to provide as much liquidity as necessary to the system in order to offset the negative impact that these events could have on both business and consumer spending. Unemployment had been on the rise as a normal part of a business cycle, creating some concerns that consumer confidence would continue to weaken. Over the short term, the events of early September could provide an even more difficult challenge in the form of potentially higher unemployment and more fragile consumer confidence.

The views expressed in this report reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover. The manager's views are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions. For more information, see page 3.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended August 31, 2001 (Unaudited)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Select Portfolios (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 trust is comprised of equity funds (the fund or the funds) which invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries, and a money market fund which invests in high quality money market instruments. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Effective April 1, 2001, the name of the Fidelity Select Environmental Services Portfolio was changed to Fidelity Select Environmental Portfolio. The Gold Portfolio and Natural Resources Portfolio may also invest in certain precious metals. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day. The following summarizes the security valuation policies of the funds.

Equity Funds. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt securities which trade on an exchange) are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value. Direct investments in precious metals in the form of bullion are valued at the most recent bid price quoted by a major bank on the New York Commodities Exchange.

Money Market Fund. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund, except for Pharmaceuticals Portfolio, is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for the fiscal year. The Pharmaceuticals Portfolio intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. By so qualifying, the fund will not be subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. Each fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments which are accrued based upon each fund's understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or transactions with respect to foreign securities. Each fund accrues such taxes as applicable. The Schedules of Investments include information, if any, regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income:

Equity Funds. 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. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, as required, is accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Money Market Fund. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned.

Semiannual Report

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Prepaid Expenses. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) bears all organizational expenses of each applicable fund, except for the cost of registering and qualifying new shares for distribution under federal and state securities law. These registration expenses are borne by each applicable fund and amortized over one year.

Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income for the money market fund. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date for all other funds.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, expiring capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales transactions and excise tax regulations. Certain funds also utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares redeemed (including exchanges) from an equity fund are subject to trading fees. Shares held less than 30 days are subject to a trading fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. The fees, which are retained by the fund, are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).

Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

2. Operating Policies.

Foreign Currency Contracts. Certain funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at the time of each trade.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), certain funds, along with other affiliated entities of FMR, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.

Repurchase Agreements. The underlying U.S. Treasury, Federal Agency, or other obligations found to be satisfactory by FMR are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint Trading Account, at a custodian bank. The securities are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). FMR, the funds' investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is "marked to market" daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The values of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments. Each fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. Certain funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included under the captions "Legend" and/or "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly fee.

For each equity fund, the monthly fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management fees were equivalent to annualized rates that ranged from .56% to .57% of average net assets for the equity funds.

On April 1, 2001, a new management fee contract ("new contract") took effect for the money market fund. Under the new contract the management fee rate is the group fee rate plus a total income-based component, which is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The minimum income-based component is .05% of average net assets (at a fund annualized gross yield of 0%), and the maximum income based components is .27% of average net assets (at a fund annualized gross yield of 15% or more). The individual fund fee rate was eliminated.

Under the old contract for the money market fund, FMR receives a monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund and an income-based fee. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to .3700% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .03%. In the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The income-based fee is added only when the fund's gross yield exceeds 5%. At that time the income-based fee would equal 6% of that portion of the fund's gross income that represents a gross yield of more than 5%. The maximum income based component is .24% of average net assets.

FMR has voluntarily agreed to limit the money market fund's management fee to the lesser of the amount that would be paid under the old contract or the new contract for a period of six months beginning on April 1, 2001. For the period, the total management fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .17%. The income-based portion of this fee was equal to $51,364, or an annualized rate of .01% of the money market fund's average net assets.

Sub-Adviser Fee. FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as sub-adviser for the equity funds. FMRC is an affiliate of FMR and receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR with respect to that portion of the funds' assets that are managed by FMRC.

As the money market fund's investment sub-adviser, Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of 50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect.

Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, is the general distributor of the funds. FDC receives a sales charge of up to 3% for selling shares of each fund. Prior to October 12, 1990, FDC received a sales charge of up to 2% and a 1% deferred sales charge. Shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption or exchange to any other Fidelity Fund (other than Select funds). All sales charges are retained by FDC. The amounts received by FDC for sales charges and deferred sales charges are shown under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's Statement of Operations.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC maintains each fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Fidelity Cash Central Funds. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds may invest in the Fidelity Cash Central Fund and the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by FIMM. The Cash Funds are open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the accompanying financial statements.

Money Market Insurance. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the money market fund, along with other money market funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, has entered into insurance agreements with FIDFUNDS Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an affiliated mutual insurance company. FIDFUNDS provides limited coverage for certain loss events including issuer default as to

payment of principal or interest and bankruptcy or insolvency of a credit enhancement provider. The insurance does not cover losses resulting from changes in interest rates, ratings downgrades or other market conditions. The fund may be subject to a special assessment of up to approximately 2.5 times the fund's annual gross premium if covered losses exceed certain levels. The fund pays premiums to FIDFUNDS on a calendar year basis, which are amortized over one year.

Exchange Fees. FSC receives the proceeds of $7.50 to cover administrative costs associated with exchanges out of an equity fund to any other Fidelity Select fund or to any other Fidelity fund. The exchange fees retained by FSC are shown under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's Statement of Operations.

Brokerage Commissions. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding each applicable fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.475 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 funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Bank Borrowings.

Each fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Each fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. Information regarding each applicable fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.
