A special meeting of Home Finance Portfolio shareholders was held on November 16, 2010. Shareholders approved certain fundamental policy changes. Those changes, as well as other changes including a change to the fund's name, will take effect on December 1, 2010.

Effective December 1, 2010, Home Finance Portfolio will be renamed Consumer Finance Portfolio and will compare its performance to the S&P® Consumer Finance Index.

Effective October 1, 2010, FIL Investment Advisors, FIL Investment Advisors (U.K.) Ltd., and FIL Investments (Japan) Limited no longer serve as sub-advisers to the funds.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces the second bullet found under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Fund Summary" section on page 12.

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in providing products and services associated with consumer finance.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces the third bullet found under the heading "Principal Investment Risks" in the "Fund Summary" section on page 12.

  • Consumer Finance Industry Concentration. The consumer finance industry can be significantly affected by governmental regulation, changing economic conditions, demand for consumer loans, interest rate changes and refinancing activity.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information supplements similar information found under the heading "Principal Investment Risks" in the "Fund Summary" section on page 12.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Investment Details" section on page 18.

Consumer Finance Portfolio

The fund invests primarily in companies providing products and services associated with consumer finance. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in these activities.

These companies include, for example, financial institutions providing auto loans, credit cards, mortgages, student loans, or services related to these activities.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Principal Investment Strategies" in the "Investment Details" section on page 18.

In addition to concentrating on particular industries, each fund may invest a significant percentage of its assets in relatively few companies and may invest up to 25% in a single company. The funds are considered non-diversified (except for Banking Portfolio and Financial Services Portfolio, which are diversified funds).

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Principal Investment Risks" in the "Investment Details" section beginning on page 18.

Many factors affect each fund's performance. A fund's share price changes daily based on changes in market conditions and interest rates and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. A fund's reaction to these events will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR concentrates each fund's investments in a particular industry or group of related industries, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry or group of industries and could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds. In addition, because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the assets of each fund (except Banking Portfolio and Financial Services Portfolio) in a single issuer, the fund's performance could be closely tied to that one issuer and could be more volatile than the performance of more diversified funds. When you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them, which means that you could lose money by investing in a fund.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information replaces similar information found under the heading "Principal Investment Risks" in the "Investment Details" section on page 19.

The consumer finance industry can be significantly affected by governmental regulation, changing economic conditions, demand for consumer loans, interest rate changes and refinancing activity. Profitability can be largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and the rate of consumer debt defaults, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers can negatively affect the consumer finance industry. Companies in the consumer finance industry are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which can change frequently and may adversely affect the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain, or may affect them in other ways that are unforeseeable.

Effective December 1, 2010, the following information supplements similar information found under the heading "Additional Information about the Indexes" in the "Appendix" section on page 34.

S&P Consumer Finance Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of a subset of companies trading on U.S. stock exchanges whose primary business is related to consumer lending and consumer finance related activities.
