Fund Summary
Fund/Class:
VIP Floating Rate High Income Portfolio
/Initial Class 
 
Investment Objective
 
VIP Floating Rate High Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred, directly or indirectly, when you, as a variable product owner, buy, hold, and sell interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund. The table does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall fees and expenses would be higher.

AThe management fee covers administrative services previously provided under separate services agreements with the fund, for which 0.12% was previously charged under the services agreements.
BAdjusted to reflect current fees.
CIncludes interest expense of certain underlying Fidelity® funds. Excluding interest expense of the applicable underlying Fidelity® funds, total annual operating expenses are 0.69%.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. This example does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall expenses would be higher. For every $10,000 invested, here's how much you, as a variable product owner, would pay in total expenses if all interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover
 
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 31% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in floating rate loans, which are often lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), and other floating rate securities.
  • Investing in companies in troubled or uncertain financial condition.
  • Investing in money market and investment-grade debt securities, and repurchase agreements.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Impairment of Collateral.
A floating rate loan may not be fully collateralized which may cause the floating rate loan to decline significantly in value.
  • Floating Rate Loan Liquidity.
Floating rate loans generally are subject to restrictions on resale. Floating rate loans sometimes trade infrequently in the secondary market. As a result, valuing a floating rate loan can be more difficult, and buying and selling a floating rate loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult or delayed, including extended trade settlement periods. Difficulty in selling a floating rate loan can result in a loss.
  • Interest Rate Changes.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure.
Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.
  • Prepayment.
The ability of an issuer of a debt security to repay principal prior to a security's maturity can cause greater price volatility if interest rates change and can limit the potential for gains when the credit quality of the issuer improves.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds), including floating rate loans, involve greater risk of default on interest and principal payments or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities, including floating rate loans, can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
Investments in covenant-lite loans carry more risk than traditional loans as they allow issuers to engage in activities that would otherwise be difficult or impossible under a traditional loan agreement. In the event of default, covenant-lite obligations have lower recovery values as the lender may not have the opportunity to negotiate with the borrower prior to default.
You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund.
The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index over various periods of time. The index description appears in the "Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
Returns for shares of the fund do not include the effect of any sales charges or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if they did, returns for shares of the fund would be lower.
