Lawrence Rakers has replaced Louis Salemy as the portfolio manager of VIP Balanced.

The following information replaces the similar information found in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 79.

Lawrence Rakers is the lead manager of VIP Balanced and receives compensation for his services. Mr. Rakers is also a co-manager of the fund and receives compensation for managing the equity investments of the fund. Ford O'Neil is a co-manager of VIP Balanced and receives compensation for managing the bond investments of the fund. As of June 30, 2005, portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary determined periodically (typically annually), a bonus and, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans. A portion of each portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager

Each of the lead manager and equity co-manager's and the bond co-manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates.

A portion of Mr. Rakers's bonus as lead manager is based on the fund's pre-tax investment performance (based on the performance of its Initial Class) within the Lipper VIP Balanced Objective. A portion of Mr. Rakers's bonus as equity co-manager is based on the pre-tax investment performance of the equity investments of the fund measured against a composite index, the components of which are 50% Russell 3000 Index and 50% Russell 3000 Value Index. The lead manager and equity co-manager's bonus is based on several components calculated separately over his tenure over multiple measurement periods that eventually encompass periods of up to five years. The primary components of the lead manager and equity co-manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a defined peer group and relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of a broad range of other FMR equity funds and accounts. A subjective component of the bonus is based on the lead manager and equity co-manager's overall contribution to management of FMR.

The portion of the bond co-manager's bonus for the fund that is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the bond investments of the fund is measured against the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The bond co-manager's bonus is based on several components calculated separately over his tenure over a measurement period that eventually encompasses a period of up to three years. The primary components of the bond co-manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the bond co-manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR taxable bond funds and accounts. A subjective component of the bond co-manager's bonus is based on the bond co-manager's overall contribution to management of FMR.

The lead manager and equity co-manager and the bond co-manager also are compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR Corp., FMR's parent company. FMR Corp. is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement and employer administrative services.

The following information replaces the similar information found in the "Management Contracts" section beginning on page 79.

VIP Index 500 is managed by Geode, a sub-adviser to the fund. Jeffrey Adams is the lead manager of VIP Index 500 and receives compensation for his services. Amitabh Dugar and Bobe Simon are portfolio managers of VIP Index 500 and receives compensation for their services. Patrick Waddell is the assistant portfolio manager of VIP Index 500 and receives compensation for his services. As of December 31, 2004 (April 30, 2005 for Bobe Simon), portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a fixed base salary and a bonus that is based on both objective and subjective criteria. A portion of each portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by Geode or at the election of the portfolio manager.

Each portfolio manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at Geode. The primary component for determining each portfolio manager's bonus is the pre-tax investment performance of the portfolio manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a custom peer group, if applicable, and relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account. Performance is measured over multiple measurement periods that eventually encompass periods of up to five years. A portion of each portfolio manager's bonus is linked to the fund's relative pre-tax investment performance measured against the S&P 500 Index and the fund's pre-tax performance (based on the performance of its Initial Class) within the S&P 500 Index (VIP) Funds Classification. A subjective component of each portfolio manager's bonus is based on the portfolio manager's overall contribution to the management of Geode, including recruiting, monitoring, and mentoring within the investment management teams, as well as time spent assisting in firm promotion.

A portfolio manager's compensation plan can give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The manager's base pay tends to increase with additional and more complex responsibilities that include increased assets under management and a portion of the bonus relates to firm promotion efforts, which together indirectly link compensation to sales. Managing and providing research to multiple accounts (including proprietary accounts) can give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his/her time and investment ideas across multiple accounts. Securities selected for accounts other than the fund may outperform the securities selected for the fund.

Mark Notkin and Harley Lank (high income), George Fischer (U.S. government bonds), Jonathan Kelly (emerging market debt), and Andy Weir (developing country bonds) are co-managers of the fund and manage the high income, U.S. government bonds, emerging market debt, and developing country bond asset classes of VIP Strategic Income, respectively. Mr. Notkin, Mr. Fischer, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Weir receive compensation for their services as co-managers of the fund as described below. The high income asset class of each fund may also be invested in the Floating Rate High Income Central Investment Portfolio (CIP). The CIP is a separate fund managed by FMRC, an affiliate of FMR Co. Because the lead manager has allocated one or more asset classes of the fund to a CIP, the portfolio manager of the CIP is listed as a co-manager of VIP Strategic Income. Mr. Lank is the portfolio manager of the Floating Rate High Income CIP. As of December 31, 2004 (July 31, 2005 for the lead co-managers), portfolio manager compensation generally consists of a base salary, a bonus and, in certain cases, participation in several types of equity-based compensation plans. A portion of each portfolio manager's compensation may be deferred based on criteria established by FMR or at the election of the portfolio manager.

Each lead co-manager's and each co-manager's base salary is determined annually by level of responsibility and tenure at FMR or its affiliates.

Mr. Kelly's bonus as a co-manager of the fund is based on several components calculated separately over his tenure over a measurement period that eventually encompasses a period of up to five years. A substantial portion of the co-manager's bonus for the fund is linked to the pre-tax investment performance of the fund's assets allocated to the emerging market debt asset class measured against the JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global. The primary components of the co-manager's bonus are based on (i) the pre-tax investment performance of the co-manager's fund(s) and account(s) relative to a benchmark index assigned to each fund or account, and (ii) the investment performance of other FMR international equity and bond funds and accounts. A smaller, subjective component of the co-manager's bonus is based on the co-manager's overall contribution to management of FMR.

Each lead co-manager's bonus is based on how they allocate a fund's assets among the high income, US government bond, emerging market debt, and developing country bond asset classes of the fund, which are represented by the components of the VIP Strategic Income Composite Index. The components of the VIP Strategic Income Composite and their relative weightings in the fund's neutral mix are 40% Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, 30% Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, 15% JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, and 15% Citigroup Non-U.S. G-7 Index. Each lead co-manager's bonus is based on the percentage of each fund actually invested in each asset class. The percentage overweight or percentage underweight in each asset class relative to the neutral mix is multiplied by the performance of the index that represents that asset class over the measurement period, resulting in a positive or negative impact score. Each lead co-manager receives a monthly impact score for each month of his tenure as lead co-manager on the fund. The bonus is based on the aggregate impact scores for applicable annual periods eventually encompassing periods of up to five years. Each lead co-manager's bonus is also based on the performance of the fund against a Median Index Peer Group which consists of the median score of the following Morningstar fund categories and the relative weightings of each category: Corporate High Yield (40%); Intermediate Government Bonds (30%); World Bond (15%) and Emerging Markets Bond (15%) over multiple measurement periods eventually encompassing up to five years. A subjective component of each lead co-manager's bonus is based on the lead co-manager's overall contribution to management of FMR. Each lead co-manager also is compensated under equity-based compensation plans linked to increases or decreases in the net asset value of the stock of FMR Corp., FMR's parent company. FMR Corp. is a diverse financial services company engaged in various activities that include fund management, brokerage, retirement and employer administrative services.
