Annual Report

Market Environment

Despite a very strong showing in the fourth quarter of 2001, most major equity indexes in the United States and abroad finished with negative returns for the second consecutive year. In most cases, equity investors suffered larger losses in 2001 than in 2000. In the U.S., of the 10 most widely recognized sectors of the market, only two - consumer discretionary and materials - had positive returns for the past year, compared to six sectors in 2000. Overseas, none of the 10 sectors could manage positive growth during the past 12 months, compared to five in 2000. Information technology and telecommunications continued to be among the worst performing segments of the market both domestically and internationally, although tech realized dramatic gains during the fourth-quarter rally. Investment-grade bonds, the overall high-yield market and most emerging-markets debt offered investors welcome relief - and positive returns - throughout most of 2001.

U.S. Stock Markets

Terrorism, war and an economic recession were just a few of the factors that put downward pressure on stocks during 2001, as most major equity indexes declined for the second year in a row. Noteworthy events occurred early and often in 2001, beginning on the second trading day of the year when the Federal Reserve Board surprised the markets with a 0.50 percentage point cut in the fed funds target rate. This would be the first of a calendar-year record 11 cuts made by the Fed in 2001. Stocks had a mixed response to the Fed's stimuli, fluctuating between steady declines and brief rallies throughout the first half of the year. By the tail end of the summer, however, it appeared the economy was taking a turn for the better. Unfortunately, that optimism was obliterated on September 11 and in the two weeks following the devastating terrorist attacks. But with the help of the Fed's aggressive easing efforts, investors stepped back to the table in the fourth quarter with hopes of an economic rebound in early 2002. For the year overall, the large-cap weighted Standard & Poor's 500SM Index fell 11.89%, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM declined 5.39%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 20.82%.

Foreign Stock Markets

The correlation between U.S. and foreign stock market performance has been a growing phenomenon in recent years, as more and more foreign nations become dependent on the U.S. as a trading partner. That theme was played out once again in 2001. Japan was one of the weakest performers during the past year. The world's second largest economy behind the U.S., Japan's economy fell into recession, and its bellwether equity index - the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index - declined 29.35% in 2001. The Morgan Stanley Capital International SM Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada, dropped 21.27% over the past 12 months. Canadian stock markets also trailed their neighbors to the south, as the Toronto Stock Exchange 300 fell 17.74%.

U.S. Bond Markets

A harsh economic climate, geopolitical unrest, double-digit stock market declines and a record number of interest rate cuts drove investors to bonds in 2001. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy of the overall taxable-bond market, gained 8.44% during the year. Corporate bonds, which offered better yields than Treasuries, were highest on the performance ladder, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index climbed 10.40%. Treasuries had an up and down year, benefiting from a flight to safety after the tragic events of September 11, but losing significant ground late in 2001 as investors began to anticipate an economic recovery. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 6.75% for the year. Agency and mortgage-backed securities also outperformed Treasuries, as seen by the 8.31% return of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index and the 8.22% advance of the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index. The high-yield bond market rebounded in 2001, particularly in the fourth quarter, when it posted its best quarterly performance since the second quarter of 1995. Overall, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a proxy of the overall high-yield bond market - returned 4.48%.

Foreign Bond Markets

It was a challenging year for foreign developed-nation bonds, as the Salomon Smith Barney® Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index designed to represent the performance of 16 world government bond markets, excluding the United States - declined 3.54% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2001. A slowing economy and eventual recession in the United States, exacerbated by the September 11 terrorist attacks, contributed to slower economic growth worldwide. The continued strength of the U.S. dollar also muted international bond performance on a relative basis. In emerging markets, every country but one in the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global had a positive return, but the benchmark gained only 1.36% due to a host of problems in Argentina, one of the index's largest components on average during the year. Plagued by its long-running economic recession, a potential currency devaluation and rising debt obligations, Argentina's president resigned and the government was forced into default.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio - Initial Class

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).

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.

You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of over 1,000 equity securities of companies domiciled in 22 countries that is designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada. To measure how the Initial Class' performance stacked up against its peers, you can compare it to the variable annuity international funds average, which reflects the performance of variable annuities with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past one year average represents a peer group of 144 variable annuities. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated over the periods shown.

Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower.

Foreign investments involve greater risks and potential rewards than U.S. investments. These risks include political and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk of currency fluctuations.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you withdraw your money.


Understanding Performance

Many markets around the globe offer the potential for significant growth over time; however, investing in foreign markets means assuming greater risks than investing in the United States. Factors like changes in a country's financial markets, its local political and economic climate, and the fluctuating value of its currency create these risks. For these reasons an international fund's performance may be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in the United States.

$10,000 Over 10 Years



$10,000 Over 10 Years: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio - Initial Class on December 31, 1991. As the chart shows, by December 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have grown to $17,720 - a 77.20% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $15,636 - a 56.36% increase.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Rick Mace, Portfolio Manager of Overseas Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Rick?

A. For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 2001, the fund performed in line with the -21.27% return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index. The fund's return also was roughly on par with the LipperSM variable annuity international funds average, which fell 21.48%.

Q. What factors drove the fund's performance during the past year?

A. My decision to maintain more exposure to the information technology sector - at more than double the average weighting of the index - during the past year had the biggest impact on the fund's performance relative to the MSCI EAFE index. During the first six months of the period, overweighting poor-performing technology stocks detracted from the fund's performance relative to its index and peer group, despite owning stocks in the sector that held up better during the global economic downturn. In the second half of the period, the equity markets' decline during the two-week period after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. created some unique buying opportunities. I added several cyclically sensitive technology stocks to the fund after they had fallen to attractive valuations. This decision proved extremely helpful during the fourth quarter of 2001, as tech stocks rebounded strongly and our increased exposure to the sector helped erase some of the year's earlier performance shortfall. Overall during the past year, technology was the worst-performing group in the index, but good stock selection within the sector more than offset the relative losses incurred by the fund's large overweighting.

Q. What specific areas of technology did you find attractive?

A. I believed that we could see a recovery in two areas of technology - personal computers (PCs) and cellular handsets. PC stocks, while not cheap on an absolute valuation basis, were extremely cheap relative to other cyclical areas of the market. PC sales may grow 15% per year on average during the next few years, which is a faster growth rate than many other industries. Turning to handsets, new technology is driving replacement demand in an environment of aging units. The market's consensus for handset sales is 400-450 million units in 2002, much greater than sales expectations for 2001. As a result of this potential growth, I increased the fund's holdings in selective holdings, such as U.S.-based Micron Technology from six months ago. Micron was among the fund's top performers in the fourth quarter.

Q. What other strategies did you pursue during the period?

A. I narrowed down the fund's phone company holdings, focusing on those firms that are well-capitalized, such as the U.K.'s Vodafone Group. Vodafone seemed better prepared for the industry's task of building out next-generation, or 3G, infrastructure - a daunting prospect that may price a lot of competitors out of business. Elsewhere, I generally avoided European pharmaceutical stocks because they remained overvalued relative to their U.S. counterparts.

Q. With respect to your strategy in the pharmaceuticals industry, the fund appears to have taken a sizable new position in U.K.-based AstraZeneca, which stood as the third-largest position at period end . . .

A. That's correct. Near the end of the period, I increased the fund's exposure to AstraZeneca, which has a new cholesterol drug, Crestor, that is expected to be available in the U.S. in mid-2002. The drug is thought to be substantially more effective than similar products from U.S.-based companies. If Crestor takes on as much market share as the current leading product, this business could boost the value of AstraZeneca considerably.

Q. What were some of the fund's top-performing stocks? What stocks disappointed?

A. A cyclical recovery in the semiconductor industry benefited South Korea's Samsung Electronics, Micron Technology and Taiwan Semiconductor, the fund's top-three contributors. France-based pharmaceutical and beauty products firm Sanofi-Synthelabo performed well on strong sales and profitability in the U.S. On the down side, the fund's biggest detractor, Finland's Nokia, despite a strong fourth quarter, was punished for rapidly declining earnings during the past year. Similarly, telecom equipment makers Sweden-based Ericsson and Nortel Networks of Canada suffered from slowing sales and reduced profits, and I sold out of both stocks. The telecommunication services sector's broad-based weakness also hurt shares of Vodafone and Japan's Nippon Telegraph & Telephone. Elsewhere, a slowdown in demand for its entertainment products and consumer electronics hurt shares of Japan-based Sony.

Q. What's your outlook, Rick?

A. I'm optimistic. There were encouraging signs that the equity markets had stabilized in the final months of the period. For example, growth stocks rebounded significantly, providing one indication that investors were willing to re-enter fundamentally weakened industries at reduced valuations.

Overseas Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Overseas Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers three classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

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 fund:

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. Securities for which quotations are readily available are valued using the official closing price or at the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded 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 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

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

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

Income Taxes. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments which are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or transactions with respect to foreign securities. The fund accrues such taxes as applicable. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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.

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 a cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

As of December 31, 2001, undistributed net income and accumulated loss on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income

$ 12,124,045

Capital loss carryforwards

$ (367,607,824)

The tax character of distributions paid during the year was as follows:

$ 282,218,384

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.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (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 fund, 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 fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock markets. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities and the market value of futures contracts opened and closed, is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .45% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .73% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of the fund were equivalent to an annual rate of .07% of average net assets.

For the period, the following amounts were paid to FIIOC:

Initial Class

$ 1,209,571

Service Class

181,904

Service Class 2

14,642

$ 1,406,117

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the 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.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $10,822,302 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates 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 fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. 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. At the end of the period there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Expense Reductions.

Certain security trades were directed to brokers who paid $1,177,009 of the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $3,797.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company (FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, held 12% of the total outstanding shares of the fund. In addition, one unaffiliated insurance company held 31% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Annual Report

Market Environment

Despite a very strong showing in the fourth quarter of 2001, most major equity indexes in the United States and abroad finished with negative returns for the second consecutive year. In most cases, equity investors suffered larger losses in 2001 than in 2000. In the U.S., of the 10 most widely recognized sectors of the market, only two - consumer discretionary and materials - had positive returns for the past year, compared to six sectors in 2000. Overseas, none of the 10 sectors could manage positive growth during the past 12 months, compared to five in 2000. Information technology and telecommunications continued to be among the worst performing segments of the market both domestically and internationally, although tech realized dramatic gains during the fourth-quarter rally. Investment-grade bonds, the overall high-yield market and most emerging-markets debt offered investors welcome relief - and positive returns - throughout most of 2001.

U.S. Stock Markets

Terrorism, war and an economic recession were just a few of the factors that put downward pressure on stocks during 2001, as most major equity indexes declined for the second year in a row. Noteworthy events occurred early and often in 2001, beginning on the second trading day of the year when the Federal Reserve Board surprised the markets with a 0.50 percentage point cut in the fed funds target rate. This would be the first of a calendar-year record 11 cuts made by the Fed in 2001. Stocks had a mixed response to the Fed's stimuli, fluctuating between steady declines and brief rallies throughout the first half of the year. By the tail end of the summer, however, it appeared the economy was taking a turn for the better. Unfortunately, that optimism was obliterated on September 11 and in the two weeks following the devastating terrorist attacks. But with the help of the Fed's aggressive easing efforts, investors stepped back to the table in the fourth quarter with hopes of an economic rebound in early 2002. For the year overall, the large-cap weighted Standard & Poor's 500SM Index fell 11.89%, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM declined 5.39%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index dropped 20.82%.

Foreign Stock Markets

The correlation between U.S. and foreign stock market performance has been a growing phenomenon in recent years, as more and more foreign nations become dependent on the U.S. as a trading partner. That theme was played out once again in 2001. Japan was one of the weakest performers during the past year. The world's second largest economy behind the U.S., Japan's economy fell into recession, and its bellwether equity index - the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index - declined 29.35% in 2001. The Morgan Stanley Capital International SM Europe, Australasia and Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada, dropped 21.27% over the past 12 months. Canadian stock markets also trailed their neighbors to the south, as the Toronto Stock Exchange 300 fell 17.74%.

U.S. Bond Markets

A harsh economic climate, geopolitical unrest, double-digit stock market declines and a record number of interest rate cuts drove investors to bonds in 2001. The Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, a proxy of the overall taxable-bond market, gained 8.44% during the year. Corporate bonds, which offered better yields than Treasuries, were highest on the performance ladder, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index climbed 10.40%. Treasuries had an up and down year, benefiting from a flight to safety after the tragic events of September 11, but losing significant ground late in 2001 as investors began to anticipate an economic recovery. The Lehman Brothers Treasury Index gained 6.75% for the year. Agency and mortgage-backed securities also outperformed Treasuries, as seen by the 8.31% return of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index and the 8.22% advance of the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index. The high-yield bond market rebounded in 2001, particularly in the fourth quarter, when it posted its best quarterly performance since the second quarter of 1995. Overall, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a proxy of the overall high-yield bond market - returned 4.48%.

Foreign Bond Markets

It was a challenging year for foreign developed-nation bonds, as the Salomon Smith Barney® Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index - a market value-weighted index designed to represent the performance of 16 world government bond markets, excluding the United States - declined 3.54% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2001. A slowing economy and eventual recession in the United States, exacerbated by the September 11 terrorist attacks, contributed to slower economic growth worldwide. The continued strength of the U.S. dollar also muted international bond performance on a relative basis. In emerging markets, every country but one in the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global had a positive return, but the benchmark gained only 1.36% due to a host of problems in Argentina, one of the index's largest components on average during the year. Plagued by its long-running economic recession, a potential currency devaluation and rising debt obligations, Argentina's president resigned and the government was forced into default.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Portfolio - Initial Class

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). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

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. Average annual total returns for Initial Class shares will appear 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. In turn, the share price and return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if you sell your shares during a market downturn, you might lose money. But if you can ride out the market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

3

Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower.

As the chart shows, by December 31, 2001, the value of the investment would have been $9,660 - a 3.40% decrease on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 3000® Value Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have been $9,600 - a 4.00% decrease.

Fund Talk: The Manager's Overview

(Portfolio Manager photograph)

An interview with Steve DuFour, Portfolio Manager of Value Portfolio

Q. How did the fund perform, Steve?

A. From its inception on May 9, 2001, through December 31, 2001, the fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, which declined 4.00% during the same period. Going forward, we'll look at the fund's performance at six- and 12-month intervals and compare it to its Lipper peer group average.

Q. What factors drove the fund's performance?

A. It was a volatile period, but emphasizing stocks of companies that I believed should benefit from an improving economy gave the fund an advantage over its index. At the time of the fund's inception in May, I decided to own economically sensitive stocks during a market climate in which investors were generally selling them in favor of more defensive-oriented stocks. As it turned out, many of our overweighted holdings in these stocks, including Winnebago Industries and Dell Computer, performed quite well during the period, particularly in October and November. I sold off our holdings in Dell to lock in profits after it appreciated significantly. During this two-month stretch, the sentiment on Wall Street shifted primarily in favor of stocks leveraged to an economic recovery, as a growing consensus emerged that the prevailing business slowdown had reached its low point. The fund's holdings within the information technology, industrial and consumer discretionary sectors performed better than those of the index and enhanced the fund's relative return. Our gains in these three areas more than offset our disappointing stock selection within the financial sector, which detracted from the fund's relative performance. Owning a higher percentage of transaction fee-based financials, such as detractors Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and Mellon Financial, as opposed to those firms that relied primarily on income from the spreads on loans, didn't work out as well as I expected.

Q. Why did transaction fee-based financials underperform spread-based financials?

A. Spread-based financials benefited from a number of factors, including the delayed economic recovery and, subsequently, the Federal Reserve Board's aggressive moves to lower interest rates. Lower rates increased these institutions' net margins, meaning the difference between the interest they pay out and what they can charge for loans. Transaction fee-based financials were hurt by a combination of a declining stock market, reduced trading volumes and limited underwriting activity. As I mentioned in my shareholder report six months ago, the fund owned fee-based financials to benefit from a potential economic upturn, which would likely have boosted their profits as the markets and trading volumes rose. In hindsight, I may have been early in owning these stocks, but I remained optimistic that the Fed's easing would provide the stimuli necessary to turn the economy around. My strategy in this sector was further jolted by the terrorist attacks in September, which caused a decline in commerce and further delayed the expectation of a quick economic and financial market recovery.

Q. What other strategies did you implement?

A. Six months ago, I had a strong bias toward mid-cap companies, which served the fund well during the early part of the period as investors looked favorably on this group because of its attractive valuations relative to larger-cap companies. As the period progressed and investors began scooping up these undervalued mid-cap stocks, their valuations increased. In response, I changed course, reducing the fund's exposure to mid-cap stocks that had appreciated and, with new money that flowed into the fund, selectively added large-cap stocks that had fallen out of favor. The net result of this strategy was that the fund had more exposure to larger-cap companies at attractive prices late in the year when they rallied, including such top performers as Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard and Gillette, as the period came to a close. Additionally, the market's decline during the aftermath of September 11 gave me another rare opportunity to upgrade the quality of companies in the portfolio - in such names as DuPont, AOL Time Warner, Pfizer and Schwab - at attractive prices. In most of these cases, the stocks bounced back sharply toward period end.

Q. What's your outlook, Steve?

A. I'm cautiously optimistic. I believe that the enormous amount of liquidity the Fed has put into the financial system, coupled with declining oil prices and the recent federal tax cuts, could lead to a stronger economy. As such, I believe the fund's positioning - owning a large number of high-quality companies leveraged to an improving economy - could be beneficial should the economy recover in the months ahead.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2001

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Value Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers three classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

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 fund:

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. 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. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

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

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

Income Taxes. The fund 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 all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information, if any, regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. 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.

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.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures transactions, market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

As of December 31, 2001, accumulated loss on a tax basis was as follows:

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.

Joint Trading Account. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company (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 fund, 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 fund's investment adviser, is responsible for determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in accordance with the market value requirements stated above.

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities and the market value of futures contracts opened and closed, is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee.

The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a Service fee.
For the period, the Service fee is based on an annual rate of .10%
of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services.

FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $2,443 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions.The fund placed a portion of its 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 the fund's Schedule of Investments.
