Investment Summary

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Normally investing in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
  • Focusing investments in medium-sized companies, but may also invest substantially in larger or smaller companies.
  • 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

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
  • "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Investment Objective

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Allocating the fund's assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term and money market instruments.
  • Maintaining a neutral mix over time of 50% of assets in stocks, 40% of assets in bonds, and 10% of assets in short-term and money market instruments.
  • Adjusting allocation among asset classes gradually within the following ranges: stock class (30%-70%), bond class (20%-60%), and short-term/money market class (0%-50%).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Analyzing an issuer using fundamental and/or quantitative factors and evaluating each security's current price relative to estimated long-term value to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.

  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer.

  • Real Estate Industry Concentration. Changes in real estate values or economic downturns can have a significant negative effect on issuers in the real estate industry.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities 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.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Performance

The following information illustrates VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Strategies' performance over the past year, as represented by the performance of Initial Class, and the changes in each fund's (other than VIP Value Leaders) performance from year to year, as represented by the performance of Initial Class, compares the performance of Initial Class of each fund (other than VIP Money Market and VIP Value Leaders) to the performance of a market index over various periods of time, and compares the performance of Initial Class of each fund (other than VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Money Market, and VIP Value Leaders) to an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Initial Class of VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, and VIP Balanced also compares its performance to the performance of a combination of market indexes over various periods of time. Initial Class of VIP Real Estate also compares its performance to the performance of an additional index over various periods of time. Returns for Initial Class of each fund (other than VIP Value Leaders) do not include the effect of any sales charges or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product.

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

<R>Let's say, hypothetically, that Initial Class's annual return is 5% and that the fees and Initial Class's annual operating expenses 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 reflect the effect of any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. For every $10,000 invested, here's how much a variable product owner would pay in total expenses if all interests in the separate account that invests in a class of a fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:</R>

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Aggressive Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average P/E or P/B ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

Although FMR focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by medium-sized companies, FMR may also make substantial investments in securities issued by larger or smaller companies.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager Portfolio seeks to obtain high total return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR allocates the fund's assets among the following classes, or types, of investments. The stock class includes equity securities of all types. The bond class includes all varieties of fixed-income securities, including lower-quality debt securities, maturing in more than one year. The short-term/money market class includes all types of short-term and money market instruments.

FMR may use its judgment to place a security in the most appropriate class based on its investment characteristics. Fixed-income securities may be classified in the bond or short-term/money market class according to interest rate sensitivity as well as maturity. FMR may invest the fund's assets in these classes by investing in other funds. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in other instruments that do not fall within these classes.

FMR has the ability to allocate the fund's assets within specified ranges. The fund's neutral mix represents the benchmark for its combination of investments in each asset class over time. FMR may change the neutral mix from time to time. The approximate neutral mix and range for each asset class are shown in the following chart:



FMR will not try to pinpoint the precise moment when a major reallocation should be made. Instead, FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually to favor investments that it believes will provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and/or quantitative factors (e.g., historical earnings, dividend yield, and earnings per share) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Balanced Portfolio seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR manages the fund to maintain a balance between stocks and bonds. When FMR's outlook is neutral, it will invest approximately 60% of the fund's assets in stocks and other equity securities and the remainder in bonds and other debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities. FMR may vary from this target if it believes stocks or bonds offer more favorable opportunities, but will always invest at least 25% of the fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities.

Investment Objective

VIP Index 500 Portfolio seeks investment results that correspond to the total return of common stocks publicly traded in the United States, as represented by the S&P 500.

Principal Investment Strategies

Geode normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices.

The fund may not always hold all of the same securities as the S&P 500. Geode may use statistical sampling techniques to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500. Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment characteristics of the index and the fund by taking into account such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, P/E ratio, P/B ratio, and earnings growth.

The fund may not track the index perfectly because differences between the index and the fund's portfolio can cause differences in performance. In addition, expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of cash flow into and out of the fund, and differences between how and when the fund and the index are valued can cause differences in performance.

Geode may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, Geode may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If Geode's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.

<R>FMR uses an index that represents the market for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As of December 31, 2003, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of December 31, 2003, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 5.6 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 7.6 years. In determining a security's maturity for purposes of calculating the fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average time for its principal to be paid may be used. This can be substantially shorter than its stated maturity.</R>

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, corporate or government securities) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its issuer.

To earn additional income for the fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases transaction costs and may increase taxable gains.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Mid Cap Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Index or the S&P MidCap 400. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a medium market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

VIP Value Leaders Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks of well-known and established companies.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in blue chip companies. Blue chip companies include companies whose stock is included in the S&P 500 or the DJIA, and companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion if not included in either index.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Money market securities include bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, bank time deposits, notes, commercial paper, and U.S. Government securities. Certain issuers of U.S. Government securities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance.

A fund's yield, as applicable, will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions.

Although the money market fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of the fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease.

A fund's (other than a money market fund) 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 developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR concentrates VIP Real Estate's investments in a particular industry, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry and could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Leaders' assets 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 a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities, mortgage securities, and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Foreign Exposure. Issuers located in foreign countries and entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the issuer or provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.

Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Prospectus

Financial Services Exposure. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

Industry Concentration. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry, and the securities of companies in that industry could react similarly to these or other developments.

The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, the value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value.

"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR or Geode may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR or Geode does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Shareholder Notice

The following policies are subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities.

VIP Growth Stock Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in stocks.

VIP Index 500 Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500.

VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in investment-grade debt securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.

VIP Mid Cap Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations.

VIP Overseas Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in non-U.S. securities.

VIP Real Estate Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments.

Country or Geographic Region

FMR considers non-U.S. securities to include investments that are tied economically to a particular country or region outside the U.S. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: the source of government guarantees (if any); the primary trading market; the issuer's domicile, sources of revenue, and location of assets; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Initial Class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing Initial Class's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

Each fund's (other than the money market fund's) assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. Separate accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the funds. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Only separate accounts of insurance companies that have signed the appropriate agreements with the funds can buy or sell shares of the funds.

The price to buy one share of Initial Class is the class's NAV. Initial Class shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

The price to sell one share of Initial Class is the class's NAV.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, each fund may impose a redemption fee (trading fee) on redemptions from the fund.

<R>Shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.</R>

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Each fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with FMR and/or each other. Each fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to variable product owners arising out of the fact that the fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees that oversees each fund intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response.

Variable product owners may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify their identities in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in February.

Distributions from VIP Money Market consist primarily of dividends. VIP Money Market normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.

Dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Initial Class shares of the fund.

Tax Consequences

Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from a fund.

These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

VIP Index 500's annual management fee rate is 0.24% of its average net assets.

For VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The monthly management fee for VIP Money Market is calculated by adding a group fee to an income-related fee. The income-related fee varies depending on the level of the fund's monthly gross income from an annualized rate of 0.05% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 0%) to 0.27% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 15%) of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. For VIP Money Market, the group fee rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies or 0.37% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 2003, the group fee rate was 0.28% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies and the group fee rate was 0.13% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is 0.15% for VIP Balanced; 0.20% for VIP Equity-Income and VIP Growth & Income; 0.25% for VIP Asset Manager; 0.30% for VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies; 0.35% for VIP Aggressive Growth; and 0.45% for VIP High Income and VIP Overseas.

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, for each fund (other than VIP Index 500 and VIP Value Leaders) is shown in the following table.

FMR pays FIMM, FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR or FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR pays Geode for providing investment management services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

<R>As of February 29, 2004, approximately 49.69%, 99.73%, 99.88%, 100.00%, and 45.15% of VIP Aggressive Growth's, VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, VIP Value Leaders', and VIP Value Strategies' total outstanding shares, respectively, were held by FMR affiliates.</R>

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes Initial Class's shares.

<R>Initial Class of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Initial Class shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Initial Class.</R>

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Initial Class's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and might cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand Initial Class's financial history for the past 5 years or, if shorter, the period of the class's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single class share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the class (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (for VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Money Market, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Leaders) and Deloitte & Touche LLP (for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Value, and VIP Value Strategies), independent accountants, whose reports, along with each fund's financial highlights and financial statements, are included in each fund's annual report. A free copy of each annual report is available upon request.

E <R>Effective January 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.</R>

F <R>As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was a decrease to net investment income of $0.017 and $0.075 per share with a corresponding increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share, respectively. The ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 8.95% and 12.08% to 8.65% and 11.00%, respectively. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.</R>

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Aggressive Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Normally investing in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
  • Focusing investments in medium-sized companies, but may also invest substantially in larger or smaller companies.
  • 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

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
  • "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager Portfolio seeks to obtain high total return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Allocating the fund's assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term and money market instruments.
  • Maintaining a neutral mix over time of 50% of assets in stocks, 40% of assets in bonds, and 10% of assets in short-term and money market instruments.
  • Adjusting allocation among asset classes gradually within the following ranges: stock class (30%-70%), bond class (20%-60%), and short-term/money market class (0%-50%).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Analyzing an issuer using fundamental and/or quantitative factors and evaluating each security's current price relative to estimated long-term value to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

  • Potentially investing in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities, as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Aggressive Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average P/E or P/B ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

Although FMR focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by medium-sized companies, FMR may also make substantial investments in securities issued by larger or smaller companies.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager Portfolio seeks to obtain high total return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR allocates the fund's assets among the following classes, or types, of investments. The stock class includes equity securities of all types. The bond class includes all varieties of fixed-income securities, including lower-quality debt securities, maturing in more than one year. The short-term/money market class includes all types of short-term and money market instruments.

FMR may use its judgment to place a security in the most appropriate class based on its investment characteristics. Fixed-income securities may be classified in the bond or short-term/money market class according to interest rate sensitivity as well as maturity. FMR may invest the fund's assets in these classes by investing in other funds. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in other instruments that do not fall within these classes.

FMR has the ability to allocate the fund's assets within specified ranges. The fund's neutral mix represents the benchmark for its combination of investments in each asset class over time. FMR may change the neutral mix from time to time. The approximate neutral mix and range for each asset class are shown in the following chart:



FMR will not try to pinpoint the precise moment when a major reallocation should be made. Instead, FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually to favor investments that it believes will provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and/or quantitative factors (e.g., historical earnings, dividend yield, and earnings per share) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Balanced Portfolio seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR manages the fund to maintain a balance between stocks and bonds. When FMR's outlook is neutral, it will invest approximately 60% of the fund's assets in stocks and other equity securities and the remainder in bonds and other debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities. FMR may vary from this target if it believes stocks or bonds offer more favorable opportunities, but will always invest at least 25% of the fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. With respect to the fund's equity investments, at any given time FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public. The types of companies in which the fund may invest include companies experiencing positive fundamental change, such as a new management team or product launch, a significant cost-cutting initiative, a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that should lead to improved pricing; companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than generally perceived; companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have fallen temporarily out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term; and companies that are undervalued in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry.

Investment Objective

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income. The fund will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. The fund's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising the S&P 500.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in equity securities. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing equity securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in other types of equity securities and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR's emphasis on above-average income-producing equity securities tends to lead to investments in large cap "value" stocks. However, FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

Investment Objective

VIP Growth & Income Portfolio seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests a majority of the fund's assets in common stocks with a focus on those that pay current dividends and show potential for capital appreciation. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in bonds, including lower-quality debt securities, as well as stocks that are not currently paying dividends, but offer prospects for future income or capital appreciation.

VIP Growth Stock Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in stocks. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average P/E or P/B ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP High Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income, while also considering growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting FMR's ability to resell the securities to the general public. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. FMR currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund's total assets. FMR may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and management of the security's issuer.

Prospectus

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Index 500 Portfolio seeks investment results that correspond to the total return of common stocks publicly traded in the United States, as represented by the S&P 500.

Principal Investment Strategies

Geode normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices.

The fund may not always hold all of the same securities as the S&P 500. Geode may use statistical sampling techniques to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500. Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment characteristics of the index and the fund by taking into account such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, P/E ratio, P/B ratio, and earnings growth.

The fund may not track the index perfectly because differences between the index and the fund's portfolio can cause differences in performance. In addition, expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of cash flow into and out of the fund, and differences between how and when the fund and the index are valued can cause differences in performance.

Geode may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, Geode may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If Geode's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities (those of medium and high quality) of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.

<R>FMR uses an index that represents the market for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As of December 31, 2003, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of December 31, 2003, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 5.6 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 7.6 years. In determining a security's maturity for purposes of calculating the fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average time for its principal to be paid may be used. This can be substantially shorter than its stated maturity.</R>

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, corporate or government securities) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its issuer.

To earn additional income for the fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases transaction costs and may increase taxable gains.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Mid Cap Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Index or the S&P MidCap 400. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a medium market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.

FMR focuses on securities of companies that it believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the company's assets, sales, earnings, or growth potential. Companies with these characteristics tend to have lower than average P/B, P/S, or P/E ratios. The stocks of these companies are often called "value" stocks.

Although FMR focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by medium-sized companies, FMR may also make substantial investments in securities issued by larger or smaller companies.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Money market securities include bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, bank time deposits, notes, commercial paper, and U.S. Government securities. Certain issuers of U.S. Government securities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance.

A fund's yield, as applicable, will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions.

Although the money market fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of the fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease.

A fund's (other than a money market fund) 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 developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR concentrates VIP Real Estate's investments in a particular industry, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry and could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Leaders' assets 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 a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities, mortgage securities, and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Foreign Exposure. Issuers located in foreign countries and entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the issuer or provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.

Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Prospectus

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Financial Services Exposure. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

Industry Concentration. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry, and the securities of companies in that industry could react similarly to these or other developments.

The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, the value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value.

"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR or Geode may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR or Geode does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

VIP Real Estate Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments.

Country or Geographic Region

<R>FMR considers non-U.S. securities to include investments that are tied economically to a particular country or region outside the U.S. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: the source of government guarantees (if any); the primary trading market; the issuer's domicile, sources of revenue, and location of assets; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.</R>

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Service Class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing Service Class's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

Each fund's (other than the money market fund's) assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. Separate accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the funds. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Only separate accounts of insurance companies that have signed the appropriate agreements with the funds can buy or sell shares of the funds.

The price to buy one share of Service Class is the class's NAV. Service Class shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

The price to sell one share of Service Class is the class's NAV.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, each fund may impose a redemption fee (trading fee) on redemptions from the fund.

<R>Shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.</R>

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Each fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with FMR and/or each other. Each fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to variable product owners arising out of the fact that the fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees that oversees each fund intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response.

Variable product owners may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify their identities in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in February.

Distributions from VIP Money Market consist primarily of dividends. VIP Money Market normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.

Dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Service Class shares of the fund.

Tax Consequences

Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from a fund.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

VIP Index 500's annual management fee rate is 0.24% of its average net assets.

For VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The monthly management fee for VIP Money Market is calculated by adding a group fee to an income-related fee. The income-related fee varies depending on the level of the fund's monthly gross income from an annualized rate of 0.05% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 0%) to 0.27% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 15%) of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. For VIP Money Market, the group fee rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies or 0.37% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For December 2003, the group fee rate was 0.28% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies and the group fee rate was 0.13% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is 0.15% for VIP Balanced; 0.20% for VIP Equity-Income and VIP Growth & Income; 0.25% for VIP Asset Manager; 0.30% for VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies; 0.35% for VIP Aggressive Growth; and 0.45% for VIP High Income and VIP Overseas.</R>

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, for each fund (other than VIP Index 500 and VIP Value Leaders) is shown in the following table.

FMR pays FIMM, FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR or FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR pays Geode for providing investment management services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

<R>As of February 29, 2004, approximately 49.69%, 99.73%, 99.88%, 100.00%, and 45.15% of Aggressive Growth's, VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, VIP Value Leaders', and VIP Value Strategies' total outstanding shares, respectively, were held by FMR affiliates.</R>

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes Service Class's shares.

<R>Service Class of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). Under the plan, Service Class of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class of each fund may pay this 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Service Class of each fund currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average net assets throughout the month. Service Class's 12b-1 (service) fee rate for each fund may be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of variable product owners to do so.</R>

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of this 12b-1 (service) fee to intermediaries (such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing support services that benefit variable product owners.

In addition, each Service Class plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Service Class.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class's assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand Service Class's financial history for the past 5 years or, if shorter, the period of the class's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single class share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the class (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (for VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Money Market, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Leaders) and Deloitte & Touche LLP (for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Value, and VIP Value Strategies), independent accountants, whose reports, along with each fund's financial highlights and financial statements, are included in each fund's annual report.

E <R>Effective January 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.</R>

F <R>As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was a decrease to net investment income of $0.017 and $0.075 per share with a corresponding increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share, respectively. The ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 8.85% and 11.97% to 8.55% and 10.90%, respectively. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.</R>

VIP Real Estate has an investment objective and policies that are substantially identical in all material respects to Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, which is managed by FMR. FMR began managing Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio on November 17, 1986, and its asset size as of March 31, 2004 was approximately $3.4 billion. FMR also may manage other substantially similar funds and accounts that may have better or worse performance than Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. Performance of other funds and accounts is not included due to factors such as differences in their policies and/or portfolio management strategies and/or because these accounts are not mutual funds.

Below you will find information about the prior performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, not the performance of Service Class of VIP Real Estate. Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio has different expenses and is sold through different distribution channels than Service Class of VIP Real Estate. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

The performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio does not represent the past performance of Service Class of VIP Real Estate and is not an indication of the future performance of Service Class of VIP Real Estate. You should not assume that Service Class of VIP Real Estate will have the same performance as Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. The performance of Service Class of VIP Real Estate may be better or worse than the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio due to, among other things, differences in portfolio holdings, sales charges, expenses, asset sizes, and cash flows between Service Class of VIP Real Estate and Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. Service Class of VIP Real Estate may have higher total expenses than Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, which would have resulted in lower performance if VIP Real Estate's Service Class expenses had been applied to the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio.

The following information illustrates the changes in the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio from year to year, and compares the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Aggressive Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Normally investing in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
  • Focusing investments in medium-sized companies, but may also invest substantially in larger or smaller companies.
  • 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

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.
  • "Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can be more volatile than other types of stocks.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager Portfolio seeks to obtain high total return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Allocating the fund's assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term and money market instruments.
  • Maintaining a neutral mix over time of 50% of assets in stocks, 40% of assets in bonds, and 10% of assets in short-term and money market instruments.
  • Adjusting allocation among asset classes gradually within the following ranges: stock class (30%-70%), bond class (20%-60%), and short-term/money market class (0%-50%).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Analyzing an issuer using fundamental and/or quantitative factors and evaluating each security's current price relative to estimated long-term value to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that Service Class 2's annual return is 5% and that the fees and Service Class 2's annual operating expenses 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 reflect the effect of any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. For every $10,000 invested, here's how much a variable product owner would pay in total expenses if all interests in the separate account that invests in Service Class 2 shares of a fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Aggressive Growth Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests the fund's assets in companies it believes offer the potential for accelerated earnings or revenue growth.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average P/E or P/B ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

Although FMR focuses on investing the fund's assets in securities issued by medium-sized companies, FMR may also make substantial investments in securities issued by larger or smaller companies.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager Portfolio seeks to obtain high total return with reduced risk over the long term by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term instruments.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR allocates the fund's assets among the following classes, or types, of investments. The stock class includes equity securities of all types. The bond class includes all varieties of fixed-income securities, including lower-quality debt securities, maturing in more than one year. The short-term/money market class includes all types of short-term and money market instruments.

FMR may use its judgment to place a security in the most appropriate class based on its investment characteristics. Fixed-income securities may be classified in the bond or short-term/money market class according to interest rate sensitivity as well as maturity. FMR may invest the fund's assets in these classes by investing in other funds. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in other instruments that do not fall within these classes.

FMR has the ability to allocate the fund's assets within specified ranges. The fund's neutral mix represents the benchmark for its combination of investments in each asset class over time. FMR may change the neutral mix from time to time. The approximate neutral mix and range for each asset class are shown in the following chart:



FMR will not try to pinpoint the precise moment when a major reallocation should be made. Instead, FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually to favor investments that it believes will provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and/or quantitative factors (e.g., historical earnings, dividend yield, and earnings per share) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Balanced Portfolio seeks income and capital growth consistent with reasonable risk.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR manages the fund to maintain a balance between stocks and bonds. When FMR's outlook is neutral, it will invest approximately 60% of the fund's assets in stocks and other equity securities and the remainder in bonds and other debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities. FMR may vary from this target if it believes stocks or bonds offer more favorable opportunities, but will always invest at least 25% of the fund's total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. With respect to the fund's equity investments, at any given time FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR generally analyzes the issuer of a security using fundamental factors (e.g., growth potential, earnings estimates, and management) and evaluates each security's current price relative to its estimated long-term value.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public. The types of companies in which the fund may invest include companies experiencing positive fundamental change, such as a new management team or product launch, a significant cost-cutting initiative, a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that should lead to improved pricing; companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than generally perceived; companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have fallen temporarily out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term; and companies that are undervalued in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income. The fund will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. The fund's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising the S&P 500.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in equity securities. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing equity securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in other types of equity securities and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR's emphasis on above-average income-producing equity securities tends to lead to investments in large cap "value" stocks. However, FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue.

Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

Investment Objective

VIP Growth Stock Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in stocks. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average P/E or P/B ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

Because the fund is considered non-diversified, FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer.

Investment Objective

VIP High Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income, while also considering growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in income-producing debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. Many lower-quality debt securities are subject to legal or contractual restrictions limiting FMR's ability to resell the securities to the general public. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in non-income producing securities, including defaulted securities and common stocks. FMR currently intends to limit common stocks to 10% of the fund's total assets. FMR may invest in companies whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and that may be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, reorganizations, or financial restructurings.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value, and the earnings potential, credit standing, and management of the security's issuer.

Investment Objective

VIP Index 500 Portfolio seeks investment results that correspond to the total return of common stocks publicly traded in the United States, as represented by the S&P 500.

Principal Investment Strategies

Geode normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in common stocks included in the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices.

The fund may not always hold all of the same securities as the S&P 500. Geode may use statistical sampling techniques to attempt to replicate the returns of the S&P 500. Statistical sampling techniques attempt to match the investment characteristics of the index and the fund by taking into account such factors as capitalization, industry exposures, dividend yield, P/E ratio, P/B ratio, and earnings growth.

The fund may not track the index perfectly because differences between the index and the fund's portfolio can cause differences in performance. In addition, expenses and transaction costs, the size and frequency of cash flow into and out of the fund, and differences between how and when the fund and the index are valued can cause differences in performance.

Geode may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, Geode may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If Geode's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in investment-grade debt (those of medium and high quality) securities of all types and repurchase agreements for those securities.

FMR uses an index that represents the market for the types of securities in which the fund invests as a guide in structuring the fund and selecting its investments. FMR manages the fund to have similar overall interest rate risk to the index. As of December 31, <R>2003</R>, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of December 31, <R>2003</R>, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately <R>5.6 ye</R>ars and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately <R>7.6</R> years. In determining a security's maturity for purposes of calculating the fund's average maturity, an estimate of the average time for its principal to be paid may be used. This can be substantially shorter than its stated maturity.

FMR allocates the fund's assets among different market sectors (for example, corporate or government securities) and different maturities based on its view of the relative value of each sector or maturity.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR analyzes a security's structural features and current price compared to its estimated long-term value, any short-term trading opportunities resulting from market inefficiencies, and the credit quality of its issuer.

To earn additional income for the fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases transaction costs and may increase taxable gains.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts, swaps, and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices, interest rates, or other factors that affect security values. FMR may invest the fund's assets in investment-grade debt securities by investing in other funds. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Mid Cap Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations. Although a universal definition of medium market capitalization companies does not exist, for purposes of this fund, FMR generally defines medium market capitalization companies as those whose market capitalization is similar to the market capitalization of companies in the Russell Midcap Index or the S&P MidCap 400. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment. Companies whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continue to be considered to have a medium market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The size of the companies in each index changes with market conditions and the composition of the index. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in companies with smaller or larger market capitalizations.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks of well-known and established companies.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, mortgage and other asset-backed securities, and loans and loan participations.

Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Money market securities include bank certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, bank time deposits, notes, commercial paper, and U.S. Government securities. Certain issuers of U.S. Government securities, including Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, are sponsored or chartered by Congress but their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury.

A repurchase agreement is an agreement to buy a security at one price and a simultaneous agreement to sell it back at an agreed-upon price.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance.

A fund's yield, as applicable, will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions.

Although the money market fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of the fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease.

A fund's (other than a money market fund) 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 developments will be affected by the types and maturities of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Because FMR concentrates VIP Real Estate's investments in a particular industry, the fund's performance could depend heavily on the performance of that industry and could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of VIP Value Leaders's, VIP Growth Stock's, and VIP Real Estate's assets 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 a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt and money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt or money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities, mortgage securities, and the securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. In other words, the longer the maturity of a security, the greater the impact a change in interest rates could have on the security's price. In addition, short-term and long-term interest rates do not necessarily move in the same amount or the same direction. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates, and long-term securities tend to react to changes in long-term interest rates.

Foreign Exposure. Issuers located in foreign countries and entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the issuer or provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.

Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Prospectus

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Financial Services Exposure. Financial services companies are highly dependent on the supply of short-term financing. The value of securities of issuers in the financial services sector can be sensitive to changes in government regulation and interest rates and to economic downturns in the United States and abroad.

Industry Concentration. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry, and the securities of companies in that industry could react similarly to these or other developments.

The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns. The value of securities of issuers in the real estate industry can be affected by changes in real estate values and rental income, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements. In addition, the value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT.

Prepayment. Many types of debt securities, including mortgage securities, are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment <R>risk </R>occurs when the issuer of a security can repay principal prior to the security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict and result in greater volatility.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty. Lower-quality debt securities can be thinly traded or have restrictions on resale, making them difficult to sell at an acceptable price. The default rate for lower-quality debt securities is likely to be higher during economic recessions or periods of high interest rates.

Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. If the structure of a security fails to function as intended, the security could decline in value.

"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

Mid Cap Investing. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of relatively larger issuers and can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR or Geode may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR or Geode does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Country or Geographic Region

FMR considers non-U.S. securities to include investments that are tied <R>economically</R> to a particular country or region outside the U.S. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied <R>economically</R> to a particular country or region including: the source of government guarantees (if any); the primary trading market; the issuer's domicile, sources of revenue, and location of assets; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Service Class 2's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing Service Class 2's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The money market fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

Each fund's (other than the money market fund's) assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations, official closing prices, or on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations, official closing prices, or information furnished by a pricing service is not readily available or does not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. Separate accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the funds. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Only separate accounts of insurance companies that have signed the appropriate agreements with the funds can buy or sell shares of the funds.

The price to buy one share of Service Class 2 is the class's NAV. Service Class 2 shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

The price to sell one share of Service Class 2 is the class's NAV.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, each fund may impose a redemption fee (trading fee) on redemptions from the fund.

Shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

Each fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with FMR and/or each other. Each fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to variable product owners arising out of the fact that the fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees that oversees each fund intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response.

Variable product owners may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify their identities in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in February.

Distributions from VIP Money Market consist primarily of dividends. VIP Money Market normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.

Dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Service Class 2 shares of the fund.

Tax Consequences

Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from a fund.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.

VIP Index 500's annual management fee rate is 0.24% of its average net assets.

For VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The monthly management fee for VIP Money Market is calculated by adding a group fee to an income-related fee. The income-related fee varies depending on the level of the fund's monthly gross income from an annualized rate of 0.05% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 0%) to 0.27% (at a fund annualized gross yield of 15%) of the fund's average net assets throughout the month. For VIP Money Market, the group fee rate is divided by twelve and multiplied by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies or 0.37% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 2003, the group fee rate was 0.28% for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies and the group fee rate was 0.13% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is 0.15% for VIP Balanced; 0.20% for VIP Equity-Income and VIP Growth & Income; 0.25% for VIP Asset Manager; 0.30% for VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies; 0.35% for VIP Aggressive Growth; and 0.45% for VIP High Income and VIP Overseas.

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended December 31, <R>2003</R>, for each fund (other than VIP Index 500 and VIP Value Leaders) is shown in the following table.

FMR pays Geode for providing investment management services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

As of February 29, 2004, approximately 49.69%, 99.73%, 99.88%, 100.00%, and 45.15% of VIP Aggressive Growth's, VIP Growth's, VIP Real Estate's, VIP Value Leaders', and VIP Value Strategies' total outstanding shares, respectively, were held by FMR affiliates.

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes Service Class 2's shares.

Service Class 2 of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the plan, Service Class 2 of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 of each fund currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of these 12b-1 (service) fees to intermediaries (such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing support services that benefit variable product owners.

In addition, each Service Class 2 plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class 2 shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Service Class 2.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class 2's assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand Service Class 2's financial history for the period of the class's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single class share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the class (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (for VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Money Market, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, and <R>VIP Value Leaders</R>) and <R>Deloitte & Touche LLP</R> (for VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Value, and VIP Value Strategies), independent accountants, whose reports, along with each fund's financial highlights and financial statements, are included in each fund's annual report.

H <R>Effective January 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.</R>

I <R>As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 was a decrease to net investment income of $0.017 and $0.072 per share with a corresponding increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share, respectively. The ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 8.68% and 11.81% to 8.38% and 10.73%, respectively. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.</R>

Prior Performance of Similar Funds

VIP Real Estate Investment Portfolio

FMR began managing VIP Real Estate on November 6, 2002, and its asset size as of March 31, 2004 was approximately $96 million. VIP Real Estate has an investment objective and policies that are substantially identical in all material respects to Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, which is managed by FMR. FMR began managing Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio on November 17, 1986, and its asset size as of <R>March 31, 2004</R> was approximately $<R>3.4</R> billion. FMR also may manage other substantially similar funds and accounts that may have better or worse performance than Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. Performance of other funds and accounts is not included due to factors such as differences in their policies and/or portfolio management strategies and/or because these accounts are not mutual funds.

Below you will find information about the prior performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, not the performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate. Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio has different expenses and is sold through different distribution channels than Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

The performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio does not represent the past performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate and is not an indication of the future performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate. You should not assume that Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate will have the same performance as Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. The performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate may be better or worse than the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio due to, among other things, differences in portfolio holdings, sales charges, expenses, asset sizes, and cash flows between Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate and Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. Service Class 2 of VIP Real Estate may have higher total expenses than Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio, which would have resulted in lower performance if VIP Real Estate's Service Class 2 expenses had been applied to the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio.

The following information illustrates the changes in the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio from year to year, and compares the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns for Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio do not include the effect of any sales charges or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. Returns for Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio would be lower if the effect of those sales charges and expenses were included.

Below you will find information about the prior performance of Class T of Advisor Value Strategies, not the performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies. Class T of Advisor Value Strategies has different expenses and is sold through different distribution channels than Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies. Prior to July 1, 1999, Advisor Value Strategies operated under certain different investment policies. Accordingly, Advisor Value Strategies' historical performance may not represent its current investment policies. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

The performance of Class T of Advisor Value Strategies does not represent the past performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies and is not an indication of the future performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies. You should not assume that Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies will have the same performance as Class T of Advisor Value Strategies. The performance of Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies may be better or worse than the performance of Class T of Advisor Value Strategies due to, among other things, differences in portfolio holdings, sales charges, expenses, asset sizes, and cash flows between Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies and Class T of Advisor Value Strategies. Service Class 2 of VIP Value Strategies may have lower total expenses than Class T of Advisor Value Strategies, which would have resulted in higher performance if VIP Value Strategies' Service Class 2 expenses had been applied to the performance of Class T of Advisor Value Strategies.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

The following are each fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

Diversification

For each fund (other than VIP Growth Stock, VIP Money Market, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Leaders):

The fund may not with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.

For purposes of each fund's (other than VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Money Market's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Leaders') diversification limitation discussed above, the extent to which the fund may invest in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers is limited by the diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are in addition to the diversification requirements described in the above limitation.

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, the extent to which the fund may invest in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers is limited by the diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are in addition to the diversification requirements described in the above limitation.

Senior Securities

For each fund (other than VIP Mid Cap):

The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

For VIP Mid Cap:

The fund may not issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Borrowing

For each fund (other than VIP Money Market, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP High Income, and VIP Overseas):

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii) in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

For VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP High Income, and VIP Overseas:

The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund (i) may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) or (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements, provided that (i) and (ii) in combination (borrowings) do not exceed 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets by reason of a decline in net assets will be reduced within three days (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.

Underwriting

For each fund:

The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.

Concentration

For each fund (other than VIP Balanced, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Money Market):

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For purposes of each of VIP Asset Manager's and VIP Asset Manager: Growth's concentration limitation discussed above, with respect to the fund's investments in Fidelity® Money Market Central Fund and Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) treats the issuers of the underlying securities owned by Fidelity Money Market Central Fund and Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund as the issuer of Fidelity Money Market Central Fund and Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund respectively.

For purposes of each of VIP High Income's and VIP Investment Grade Bond's concentration limitation discussed above, with respect to the fund's investments in Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund, FMR treats the issuers of the underlying securities owned by Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund as the issuer of Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund.

For VIP Balanced, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, and VIP Mid Cap:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.

For VIP Real Estate:

The fund may not purchase any security if, as a result, more than 25% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of companies having their principal business activities in the same industry, except that the fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the real estate industry (this limitation does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government or its agencies or instrumentalities).

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services industry.

For purposes of VIP Money Market's concentration limitation discussed above, FMR deems the financial services industry to include the group of industries within the financial services sector.

Real Estate

For each fund:

The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).

Commodities

For each fund (other than VIP Money Market):

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments.

Loans

For VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders and VIP Value Strategies:

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.

For VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Money Market, and VIP Overseas:

The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.

Investing for Control or Management

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may not invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management.

Pooled Funds

For VIP Balanced and VIP Growth Opportunities:

The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

For VIP Mid Cap:

The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

Diversification

For VIP Growth Stock, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Leaders:

In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M.

For purposes of each of VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Leaders' diversification limitation discussed above, Subchapter M generally requires the fund to invest no more than 25% of its total assets in securities of any one issuer and to invest at least 50% of its total assets so that (a) no more than 5% of the fund's total assets are invested in securities of any one issuer, and (b) the fund does not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer. However, Subchapter M allows unlimited investments in cash, cash items, government securities (as defined in Subchapter M) and securities of other regulated investment companies. These tax requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.

For purposes of each of VIP Growth Stock's, VIP Real Estate's, and VIP Value Leaders' diversification limitation discussed above, the extent to which the fund may invest in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers is limited by the diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are in addition to the diversification requirements described in the above limitation.

For VIP Money Market:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase a security (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of a single issuer; provided that the fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the first tier securities of a single issuer for up to three business days.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, certain securities subject to guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds.

For purposes of the fund's diversification limitation discussed above, the extent to which the fund may invest in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers is limited by the diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, which are in addition to the diversification requirements described in the above limitation.

Short Sales

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.

Margin Purchases

For each fund:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.

Borrowing

For each fund (other than VIP Money Market):

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).

For VIP Money Market:

The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party.

Illiquid Securities

For each fund (other than VIP High Income and VIP Overseas):

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of each fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

For VIP High Income and VIP Overseas:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.

For purposes of each fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 15% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Commodities

For VIP Money Market:

The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options attached to, or acquired or traded together with, their underlying securities, and does not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options or futures contracts.

Loans

For each fund (other than VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Money Market, and VIP Overseas):

The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) assuming any unfunded commitments in connection with the acquisition of loans, loan participations, or other forms of debt instruments. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities, to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.)

For VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Overseas:

The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by (a) lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) acquiring loans, loan participations, or other forms of direct debt instruments and, in connection therewith, assuming any associated unfunded commitments of the sellers. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

For VIP Money Market:

The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 15% of the fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser. (This limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)

Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration Programs

For each fund (other than VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, and VIP Value Strategies):

The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or development programs or leases.

Foreign Securities

For VIP Asset Manager, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Value Leaders:

FMR limits the amount of the fund's assets that may be invested in foreign securities to 50%.

Pooled Funds

For VIP Balanced and VIP Growth Opportunities:

The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

For VIP Mid Cap:

The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.

In addition to each fund's fundamental and non-fundamental limitations discussed above:

Pursuant to certain state insurance regulations, any repurchase agreements or foreign repurchase agreements a fund enters into will be secured by collateral consisting of liquid assets having a market value of not less than 102% of the cash or assets transferred to the other party.

For a fund's limitations on futures, options, and swap transactions, as applicable, see the section entitled "Limitations on Futures, Options, and Swap Transactions" on page <Click Here>.

For purposes of investing at least 25% of VIP Balanced's total assets in fixed-income senior securities, FMR interprets "total assets" to exclude collateral received for securities lending transactions and treats investment-grade debt securities, lower-quality debt securities, and preferred stock as "fixed-income senior securities."

For purposes of normally investing at least 80% of VIP Mid Cap's assets in securities of companies with medium market capitalizations, FMR intends to measure the capitalization range of the Russell Midcap® Index and the Standard & Poor's® MidCap 400 Index (S&P® MidCap 400) no less frequently than once a month.

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR or Geode Capital Management, LLC (GeodeSM ) (for VIP Index 500 Portfolio) may employ in pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR or Geode may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset Allocation (VIP Asset Manager and VIP Asset Manager: Growth only). The stock class includes domestic and foreign equity securities of all types (other than adjustable rate preferred stocks, which are included in the bond class). Securities in the stock class may include common stocks, fixed-rate preferred stocks (including convertible preferred stocks), warrants, rights, depositary receipts, securities of closed-end investment companies, and other equity securities issued by companies of any size, located anywhere in the world.

The bond class includes all varieties of domestic and foreign fixed-income securities maturing in more than one year. Securities in this asset class may include bonds, notes, adjustable-rate preferred stocks, convertible bonds, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, domestic and foreign government and government agency securities, zero coupon bonds, and other intermediate and long-term securities. These securities may be denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currency.

The short-term/money market class includes all types of domestic and foreign short-term and money market instruments. Short-term and money market instruments may include commercial paper, notes, and other corporate debt securities, government securities issued by U.S. or foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities, bank deposits and other financial institution obligations, repurchase agreements involving any type of security, and other similar short-term instruments. These instruments may be denominated in U.S. dollars or foreign currency.

FMR may use its judgment to place a security in the most appropriate asset class based on its investment characteristics. Fixed-income securities may be classified in the bond or short-term/money market class according to interest rate sensitivity as well as maturity. A fund may also make other investments that do not fall within these asset classes. In making asset allocation decisions, FMR will evaluate projections of risk, market conditions, economic conditions, volatility, yields, and returns. FMR's management will use database systems to help analyze past situations and trends, research specialists in each of the asset classes to help in securities selection, portfolio management professionals to determine asset allocation and to select individual securities, and its own credit analysis as well as credit analyses provided by rating services.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates or Geode or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

Companies "Principally Engaged" in the Real Estate Industry. For purposes of VIP Real Estate's investment objective and policy of investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments, FMR considers a company to be principally engaged in the real estate industry if at least 50% of its assets (marked to market), gross income, or net profits are attributable to ownership, construction, management, or sale of residential, commercial, or industrial real estate.

<R></R>Country or Geographic Region. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: whether the investment is issued or guaranteed by a particular government or any of its agencies, political subdivisions, or instrumentalities; whether the investment has its primary trading market in a particular country or region; whether the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenues from, or has at least 50% of its assets in a particular country or region; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.

Debt Securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Dollar-Weighted Average Maturity is derived by multiplying the value of each investment by the time remaining to its maturity, adding these calculations, and then dividing the total by the value of the fund's portfolio. An obligation's maturity is typically determined on a stated final maturity basis, although there are some exceptions to this rule.

For example, if it is probable that the issuer of an instrument will take advantage of a maturity-shortening device, such as a call, refunding, or redemption provision, the date on which the instrument will probably be called, refunded, or redeemed may be considered to be its maturity date. Also, the maturities of mortgage securities, including collateralized mortgage obligations, and some asset-backed securities are determined on a weighted average life basis, which is the average time for principal to be repaid. For a mortgage security, this average time is calculated by estimating the timing of principal payments, including unscheduled prepayments, during the life of the mortgage. The weighted average life of these securities is likely to be substantially shorter than their stated final maturity.

Domestic and Foreign Investments (money market fund only) include U.S. dollar-denominated time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers' acceptances of U.S. banks and their branches located outside of the United States, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks. Domestic and foreign investments may also include U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued or guaranteed by other U.S. or foreign issuers, including U.S. and foreign corporations or other business organizations, foreign governments, foreign government agencies or instrumentalities, and U.S. and foreign financial institutions, including savings and loan institutions, insurance companies, mortgage bankers, and real estate investment trusts, as well as banks.

The obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks may not be obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, and may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by governmental regulation. Payment of interest and repayment of principal on these obligations may also be affected by governmental action in the country of domicile of the branch (generally referred to as sovereign risk) or by war or civil conflict. In addition, evidence of ownership of portfolio securities may be held outside of the United States and a fund may be subject to the risks associated with the holding of such property overseas. Various provisions of federal law governing the establishment and operation of U.S. branches do not apply to foreign branches of U.S. banks.

Obligations of U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks may be general obligations of the parent bank in addition to the issuing branch, or may be limited by the terms of a specific obligation and by federal and state regulation, as well as by governmental action in the country in which the foreign bank has its head office.

Obligations of foreign issuers involve certain additional risks. These risks may include future unfavorable political and economic developments, withholding taxes, seizures of foreign deposits, currency controls, interest limitations, or other governmental restrictions that might affect repayment of principal or payment of interest, or the ability to honor a credit commitment. Additionally, there may be less public information available about foreign entities. Foreign issuers may be subject to less governmental regulation and supervision than U.S. issuers. Foreign issuers also generally are not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR or Geode will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund (other than a money market fund) may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR or Geode.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's or Geode's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR or Geode anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR or Geode had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR or Geode hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR or Geode increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's or Geode's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Foreign Repurchase Agreements. Foreign repurchase agreements involve an agreement to purchase a foreign security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price in either U.S. dollars or foreign currency. Unlike typical U.S. repurchase agreements, foreign repurchase agreements may not be fully collateralized at all times. The value of a security purchased by a fund may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to repurchase the security. In the event of default by the counterparty, the fund may suffer a loss if the value of the security purchased is less than the agreed-upon repurchase price, or if the fund is unable to successfully assert a claim to the collateral under foreign laws. As a result, foreign repurchase agreements may involve higher credit risks than repurchase agreements in U.S. markets, as well as risks associated with currency fluctuations. In addition, as with other emerging market investments, repurchase agreements with counterparties located in emerging markets or relating to emerging markets may involve issuers or counterparties with lower credit ratings than typical U.S. repurchase agreements.

Funds' Rights as Investors. The funds do not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR or Geode determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR or Geode will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred. The funds' proxy voting guidelines are included in this SAI.

Futures, Options, and Swaps. The following paragraphs pertain to futures, options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures, Options, and Swap Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap Agreements.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index (S&P 500®), and some are based on Eurodollars. Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

Futures may be based on foreign indexes such as the Compagnie des Agents de Change 40 Index (CAC 40) in France, the Deutscher Aktienindex (DAX 30) in Germany, the Financial Times Stock Exchange Eurotop 100 Index (FTSE Eurotop 100) in Europe, the IBEX 35 Index (IBEX 35) in Spain, the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE 100) in the United Kingdom, the Australian Stock Exchange All Ordinaries Index (ASX All Ordinaries) in Australia, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, and the Nikkei Stock Average (Nikkei 225), the Nikkei Stock Index 300 (Nikkei 300), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) in Japan.

Positions in Eurodollar futures reflect market expectations of forward levels of three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rates.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Although futures exchanges generally operate similarly in the United States and abroad, foreign futures exchanges may follow trading, settlement, and margin procedures that are different from those for U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts traded outside the United States may involve greater risk of loss than U.S.-traded contracts, including potentially greater risk of losses due to insolvency of a futures broker, exchange member, or other party that may owe initial or variation margin to a fund. Because initial and variation margin payments may be measured in foreign currency, a futures contract traded outside the United States may also involve the risk of foreign currency fluctuation.

<R></R>Limitations on Futures, Options, and Swap Transactions. Each trust, on behalf of each growth/growth & income/asset allocation/income fund, has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to each fund's operation. Accordingly, each growth/growth & income/asset allocation/income fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, and VIP Balanced, will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options, or enter into swap agreements if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and/or options and/or swap agreements under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts, write put options, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a)) if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options plus the notional amount of any such swaps would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to futures, options, or swaps.

VIP Investment Grade Bond will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, write call options, or enter into swap agreements if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and/or options and/or swap agreements under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts, write put options, or enter into swap agreements (other than swaps entered into for hedging purposes under (a)) if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options plus the notional amount of any such swaps would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to futures, options, or swaps.

VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

VIP High Income will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.

Geode also intends to follow certain other limitations on VIP Index 500's futures and option activities. The fund will not purchase any option if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in option premiums. Under normal conditions, the fund will not enter into any futures contract, option, or swap agreement if, as a result, the sum of (i) the current value of assets hedged in the case of strategies involving the sale of securities, and (ii) the current value of the indices or other instruments underlying the fund's other futures, options, or swaps positions, would exceed 35% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to, or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to futures, options, or swaps.

The above limitations on the funds' (other than the money market fund's) investments in futures contracts, options, and swaps, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts, options, and swaps discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Swap Agreements (except VIP Index 500) can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names, including interest rate swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for a fixed rate), total return swaps (where the parties exchange a floating rate for the total return of a security or index), and credit default swaps (where one party pays a fixed rate and the other agrees to buy a specific issuer's debt at par upon the occurrence of certain agreed events, including for example, if the issuer is bankrupt, defaults on any of its obligations or makes arrangements with a creditor to modify a debt obligation).

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. In the case of a physically settled credit default swap written by the fund, the fund must be prepared to pay par for and take possession of eligible debt of a defaulted issuer. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. In the case of a credit default swap written by the fund, the fund will experience a loss if a credit event occurs and the credit of the underlying referenced entity (the debt issuer as to which credit protection has been written) has deteriorated. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party. The fund may have limited ability to eliminate its exposure under a credit default swap if the credit of the underlying referenced entity has declined.

Swap Agreements (VIP Index 500 only). Under a typical equity swap agreement, a counterparty such as a bank or broker-dealer agrees to pay the fund a return equal to the dividend payments and increase in value, if any, of an index or group of stocks, or of a stock, and the fund agrees in return to pay a fixed or floating rate of interest, plus any declines in value of the index. Swap agreements can also have features providing for maximum or minimum exposure to a designated index. In order to hedge its exposure effectively, VIP Index 500 would generally have to own other assets returning approximately the same amount as the interest rate payable by the fund under the swap agreement.

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in value of the specific index, security or currency, or other factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund and impairing the fund's correlation with the S&P 500. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of each fund's (except VIP Index 500) investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees and FMR, Geode determines the liquidity of VIP Index 500's investments and, through reports from FMR and/or Geode, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR or Geode, as appropriate, may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the characteristics of direct ownership.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

In addition, for VIP Index 500, indexed securities include commercial paper, certificates of deposit, and other fixed-income securities whose values at maturity or coupon interest rates are determined by reference to the returns of the S&P 500 or comparable stock indices. Indexed securities can be affected by stock prices as well as changes in interest rates and the creditworthiness of their issuers and may not track the S&P 500 as accurately as direct investments in the S&P 500.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody's® Investors Service, Standard & Poor's (S&P), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) by the SEC, or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

Each fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see each fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Money Market Securities are high-quality, short-term obligations. Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and timing of distributions made by the funds.

Mortgage Securities are issued by government and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the same underlying mortgage.

<R></R>Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet their obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than government issues. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Municipal Securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public or private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for specific projects or public facilities. They may be issued in anticipation of future revenues and may be backed by the full taxing power of a municipality, the revenues from a specific project, or the credit of a private organization. The value of some or all municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders. A municipal security may be owned directly or through a participation interest.

Preferred Securities represent an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred securities and common stock.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR or, for VIP Index 500, by Geode or, under certain circumstances, by FMR or an FMR affiliate.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR or, for VIP Index 500, by Geode or, under certain circumstances, by FMR or an FMR affiliate. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp. VIP Index 500 will not lend securities to Geode or its affiliates.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. 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. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR or Geode to be in good standing and when, in FMR's or Geode's judgment, as appropriate, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value per share (NAV). Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

VIP Index 500 may invest in investment companies that seek to track the performance of indexes other than the index that the fund seeks to track.

Short Sales "Against the Box" are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding.

Short sales against the box could be used to protect the NAV of a money market fund in anticipation of increased interest rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the securities sold short. A money market fund will incur transaction costs in connection with opening and closing short sales against the box. A fund (other than a money market fund) will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Short Sales. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. Each fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

Sovereign Debt Obligations are issued or guaranteed by foreign governments or their agencies, including debt of Latin American nations or other developing countries. Sovereign debt may be in the form of conventional securities or other types of debt instruments such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt of developing countries may involve a high degree of risk, and may be in default or present the risk of default. Governmental entities responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal and pay interest when due, and may require renegotiation or rescheduling of debt payments. In addition, prospects for repayment of principal and payment of interest may depend on political as well as economic factors. Although some sovereign debt, such as Brady Bonds, is collateralized by U.S. Government securities, repayment of principal and payment of interest is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Stripped Securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. The risks associated with stripped securities are similar to those of other debt securities, although stripped securities may be more volatile, and the value of certain types of stripped securities may move in the same direction as interest rates. U.S. Treasury securities that have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank are obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury.

Privately stripped government securities are created when a dealer deposits a U.S. Treasury security or other U.S. Government security with a custodian for safekeeping. The custodian issues separate receipts for the coupon payments and the principal payment, which the dealer then sells.

Because the SEC does not consider privately stripped government securities to be U.S. Government securities for purposes of Rule 2a-7, a fund must evaluate them as it would non-government securities pursuant to regulatory guidelines applicable to money market funds.

Each of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Index 500, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

VIP Investment Grade Bond reserves the right to invest without limitation in investment-grade money market or short-term debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

Political. Canada's parliamentary system of government is, in general, stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but particularly Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and financial relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a "clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

Economic. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related products like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in the supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both domestically and internationally, can have a significant effect on Canadian market performance.

In addition, Canada relies considerably on the health of the United States' economy, its biggest trading partner and largest foreign investor. The expanding economic and financial integration of the United States and Canada will likely make the Canadian economy and securities market increasingly sensitive to U.S. economic and market events.

Currency. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970, its value has trended down against the U.S. dollar. While the decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S. investors have often seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (EU) fixed their currencies irrevocably to the euro, the new unit of currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). At that time each member's currency was converted at a fixed rate to the euro. Initially, use of the euro was confined mainly to the wholesale financial markets, while its widespread use in the retail sector followed with the circulation of euro banknotes and coins on January 1, 2002. At that time, the national banknotes and coins of participating member countries ceased to be legal tender. In addition to adopting a single currency, member countries no longer controlled their own monetary policies. Instead, the authority to direct monetary policy is exercised by the new European Central Bank. On June 19, 2000, Greece's application for membership in the EMU was accepted by the EU Council of Ministers. This action expanded the number of members of the EU's single currency area from eleven to twelve, effective January 1, 2001.

While economic and monetary convergence in the EU may offer new opportunities for those investing in the region, investors should be aware that the success of the union is not wholly assured. Europe must grapple with a number of challenges, any one of which could threaten the survival of this monumental undertaking. Twelve disparate economies must adjust to a unified monetary system, the absence of exchange rate flexibility, and the loss of economic sovereignty. The Continent's economies are diverse, its governments decentralized, and its cultures differ widely. Unemployment is historically high and could pose political risk. One or more member countries might exit the union, placing the currency and banking system in jeopardy. In September 2000, Danish voters rejected membership in the single European currency, as did Swedish voters in September of 2003. The results of these votes has likely set back the plans of the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom to place a similar referendum on euro membership before its voters. Similarly, the Danish and Swedish votes have been seen as giving a boost to the growing numbers of citizens of euro-zone countries who have grown disaffected with the new currency.

Political. On May 1, 2004, ten new Member States will enlarge the EU's membership bringing the total number of member nations to twenty five. For these countries, the prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political impetus to employ tight fiscal and monetary policies. Nevertheless, eight of the new entrants are former Soviet satellites and remain burdened to various extents by the inherited inefficiencies of centrally planned economies similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union.

At the same time, there could become an increasingly widening gap between rich and poor within the EU's member countries, and particularly among the ten new members that have not met the requirements for joining the EMU. Realigning traditional alliances could alter trading relationships and potentially provoke divisive socioeconomic splits. Despite relative calm in Western Europe in recent years, the risk of regional conflict or targeted terrorist activity could disrupt European markets.

In the transition to the single economic system, significant political decisions will be made which will effect the market regulation, subsidization, and privatization across all industries, from agricultural products to telecommunications.

Economic. As economic conditions across member states vary from robust to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level support for the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among the twelve EMU member nations. According to the Maastricht treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below 3.3%, public debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP to qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements severely limit member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify for the euro risk being left farther behind.

Foreign Trade. The EU has recently been involved in a number of trade disputes with major trading partners, including the United States. Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of agricultural products and meat that have resulted in the affected nation levying retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These disputes can adversely affect the valuations of the European companies that export the targeted products.

Currency. Investing in euro-denominated securities entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that make up the EU. This has been the case in years 1999 through 2002 inclusive, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus many of the world's major currencies steadily declined. In this environment, U.S. and other foreign investors experienced erosion of their investment returns in the region. In addition, many European countries rely heavily upon export dependent businesses and any strength in the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Nordic Countries. Faced with stronger global competition, the Nordic countries - Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden - have had to scale down their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in drops in domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries in the region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily resource-dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs. Pension reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social programs will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face increased international competition.

Eastern Europe. Investing in the securities of Eastern European issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western Europe.

The economies of the Eastern European nations are embarking on the transition from communism at different paces with appropriately different characteristics. Most Eastern European markets suffer from thin trading activity, dubious investor protections, and often, a dearth of reliable corporate information. Information and transaction costs, differential taxes, and sometimes political or transfer risk give a comparative advantage to the domestic investor rather than the foreign investor. In addition, these markets are particularly sensitive to political, economic, and currency events in Russia and have recently suffered heavy losses as a result of their trading and investment links to the troubled Russian economy and currency.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

Fueled by public investment, protectionist trade policies, and innovative management styles, the Japanese economy has transformed itself since World War II into the world's second largest economy. Despite its impressive history, investors face special risks when investing in Japan.

Economic. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed, the nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By mid-year 1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its deepest recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed on government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural reforms despite strong and persistent prodding from the International Monetary Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to deregulate and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace of change has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of overhauling the nation's financial institutions and securing public support for taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must dispose of their huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance sheets in preparation for greater competition from foreign institutions as more areas of the financial sector are opened. Successful financial sector reform would allow Japan's financial institutions to act as a catalyst for economic recovery at home and across the troubled Asian region.

Foreign Trade. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon international trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles and industrial machinery as well as industrial and consumer electronics. While the United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. For the past five years, Southeast Asia's economies have been mired in economic stagnation causing a steep decline in Japan's exports to the area. Japan's hope for economic recovery and renewed export growth is largely dependent upon the pace of economic recovery in Southeast Asia.

Natural Resource Dependency. An island nation with limited natural resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of essential products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals. Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Natural Disasters. The Japanese islands have been subjected to periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

Many countries in the region have historically faced political uncertainty, corruption, military intervention, and social unrest. Examples include the ethnic, sectarian, and separatist violence found in Indonesia, and the nuclear arms threats between India and Pakistan. To the extent that such events continue in the future, they can be expected to have a negative effect on economic and securities market conditions in the region.

Economic. The economic health of the region depends, in great part, on each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary reforms and its ability to address the International Monetary Fund's mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the region can be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized economies, which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than developed countries. In addition, a number of countries in the region have historically faced hyperinflation, a deterrent to productivity and economic growth.

Currency. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions on converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for economic and security market conditions.

Natural Disasters. The Asia Pacific region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in that region.

China Region. As with all transition economies, China's ability to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory, monetary, and socioeconomic system could influence the course of outside investment. Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically and through China's 1997 acquisition of the country as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR). Hong Kong's success depends, in large part, on its ability to retain the legal, financial, and monetary systems that allow economic freedom and market expansion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from political, economic, and social instability. For investors, this has meant additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict, political corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures, nationalization, hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency devaluation. However, much has changed in the past decade. Democracy is beginning to become well established in some countries. A move to a more mature and accountable political environment is well under way. Domestic economies have been deregulated, privatization of state-owned companies is almost completed and foreign trade restrictions have been relaxed. Nonetheless, the volatile stock markets of the past five years have clearly demonstrated that investors in the region continue to face a number of potential risks.

Political. While investors recently have benefited from friendlier forms of government, the Latin American political climate is still vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region have been in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption remains part of the political landscape. This could lead to social unrest and changes in governments that are less favorable to investors. The investor friendly trends of social, economic, and market reforms seen over the past several years could be reversed.

Social Unrest. Latin America continues to suffer from one of the most inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as rampant delinquency and street crime. Recent reforms and the move to democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far have been slow to significantly improve the living conditions of the majority of people. This has recently led to social unrest, occasional labor strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

Economic. Latin America is suffering its worst economic performance in nearly two decades. The real GDP for the region is in steep decline, with most of the region's economies mired in severe and prolonged recessions. Adding to the region's problems; the recent global economic slowdown and the weakening of many commodity prices have had a negative impact on exports from the entire region. In addition, many countries in the region have historically experienced periods of hyperinflation which adversely impacted their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that inflation has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

Foreign Trade. One key to the recent economic growth in the region has been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of free-trade agreements. These are currently under pressure given the recent macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One example would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will likely benefit from this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's and Argentina's currency, combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between the area's largest trading partners. This could threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic stability.

Currency. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin America has a long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the Mexican peso crisis and the more recent Brazilian and Argentinian devaluations. The region remains exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the economic or political conditions worsen. Accordingly, U.S. investors should be aware that holding a capital asset denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, exposed their investment to exchange rate risk.

Sovereign Debt. Argentina's recent bankruptcy and the spreading financial turmoil in its neighboring countries are just the latest chapters in Latin America's long history of foreign debt and default. Almost all of the region's economies have become highly dependent upon foreign credit and loans from external sources to fuel their state-sponsored economic plans. Government profligacy and ill conceived plans for modernization have exhausted these resources with little benefit accruing to the economy and most countries have been forced to restructure their loans or risk default on their debt obligations. In addition, interest on the debt is subject to market conditions and may reach levels that would impair economic activity and create a difficult and costly environment for borrowers. Accordingly, these governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their debt repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

Natural Resources Dependency. Commodities such as agricultural products, minerals, and metals account for a significant percentage of exports of many Latin American countries. As a result, these economies have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of commodity prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change in the prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its economy and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's largest trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its exports - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely impact the Mexican economy and stock market.

Natural Disasters. The region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. These events have often inflicted substantial damage upon the populations and the economy. More recently, weather disorders attributed to the "El Nino" effect have placed a serious drag on the economy of some countries, such as Peru and Ecuador.

Financial Reporting Standards. Local rules governing local financial reporting have become more strict in recent years and many companies have gained listing on the NYSE or National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (NASDAQ®) which requires compliance with U.S. reporting standards. Nevertheless, rules for disclosing financial information by companies listed on local exchanges are less stringent than those of the U.S., which increases the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Investing in Russian securities is highly speculative and involves greater risks than generally encountered when investing in the securities markets of the U.S. and most other developed countries. Over the past century, Russia has experienced political and economic turbulence and has endured decades of communist rule under which tens of millions of its citizens were collectivized into state agricultural and industrial enterprises. For most of the past decade, Russia's government has been faced with the daunting task of stabilizing its domestic economy, while transforming it into a modern and efficient structure able to compete in international markets and respond to the needs of its citizens. However, to date, many of the country's economic reform initiatives have floundered as the proceeds of IMF and other economic assistance have been squandered or stolen. In this environment, there is always the risk that the nation's government will abandon the current program of economic reform and replace it with radically different political and economic policies that would be detrimental to the interests of foreign investors. This could entail a return to a centrally planned economy and nationalization of private enterprises similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union. As recently as 1998, the government imposed a moratorium on the repayment of its international debt and the restructuring of the repayment terms.

Foreign investors also face a high degree of currency risk when investing in Russian securities. In a surprise move in August 1998, Russia devalued the ruble, defaulted on short-term domestic bonds, and declared a moratorium on commercial debt payments. In light of these and other recent government actions, foreign investors face the possibility of further devaluations. In addition, there is the risk the government may impose capital controls on foreign portfolio investments in the event of extreme financial or political crisis. Such capital controls would prevent the sale of a portfolio of foreign assets and the repatriation of proceeds.

Many of Russia's businesses have failed to mobilize the available factors of production because the country's privatization program virtually ensured the predominance of the old management teams that are largely non-market-oriented in their management approach. A combination of poor accounting standards, inept management, endemic corruption, and limited shareholder rights pose a significant risk, particularly to foreign investors.

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities market suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more developed markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate regulatory protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody procedures. Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate information available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range of commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products, oil, and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of over 50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years. Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron, bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves and, accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices. They share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the oil producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected by political and economic developments in those countries. As in the south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many established since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established in 1883, while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The mean age for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 2,334 firms are listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of the relatively large and liquid South African stock market, sub-Saharan Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's emerging markets.

During the past two decades, sub-Saharan Africa has lagged behind other developing regions in economic growth. The area attracts only a modest share of foreign direct investment and remains highly dependent on foreign aid. The financial markets are small and underdeveloped and offer little regulatory protection for investors. Except for South Africa, the most fundamental problem in all of the countries in the region is the absence of an effective court system to ensure the enforceability of contracts. Investors in the area generally face a high risk of continuing political and economic instability as well as currency exchange rate volatility.

South Africa. South Africa has a highly developed and industrialized economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the world's largest producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new government has made remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's peaceful transition to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic disparities created by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial structure with a large and active stock exchange that ranks 20th in the world in terms of market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors in South Africa face a number of risks common to other developing regions. The nation's heavy dependence upon the export of natural resources makes its economy and stock market vulnerable to weak global demand and declines in commodity prices. The country's currency reserves have been a constant problem and its currency can be vulnerable to devaluation. There is also the risk that ethnic and civic conflict could result in the abandonment of many of the nation's free market reforms to the detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of each fund by FMR or Geode pursuant to authority contained in the management contract and sub-advisory agreement. FMR or Geode may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR or Geode), FMR or Geode generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Generally, compensation relating to investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive compensation for their services.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's or Geode's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the funds. FMR's or Geode's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR or Geode receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR or Geode may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR or Geode takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR, nor Geode, nor a fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of compensation or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for a fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing a fund to pay such higher compensation, FMR or Geode will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's or Geode's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR, Geode, or their affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

FMR or Geode may place trades with certain brokers, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), with which FMR is under common control, provided it determines that these affiliates' products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR or Geode may also place trades with Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), an ECN in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the compensation is fair, reasonable, and comparable to compensation charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. From May 1, 2001 to January 12, 2003, Deutsche Asset Management, Inc. (DAMI), an indirect subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG, served as a sub-adviser for VIP Index 500. Prior to May 1, 2001, Bankers Trust Company (BT) served as a sub-adviser for VIP Index 500. Prior to January 13, 2001, BT placed trades with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. Prior to March 29, 2002, DAMI placed trades with Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Deutsche Bank AG. Prior to January 13, 2003, DAMI placed trades with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. Prior to January 1, 2002, FMR placed trades with Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. Prior to September 20, 2002, FMR placed trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook), in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. had an equity ownership interest.

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's or Geode's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

For the fiscal periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the portfolio turnover rates for each fund (other than the money market fund) are presented in the table below. <R>Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, o</R>r changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the funds could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the funds of some portion of the compensation paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.

Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for each fund are made by FMR or Geode, as appropriate, and are independent from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or Geode or their affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser (investment manager for VIP Index 500) and Geode as sub-adviser to VIP Index 500 outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

Orders for funds and investment accounts are not typically combined or blocked. However, Geode may, when feasible and when consistent with the fair and equitable treatment of all funds and investment accounts and best execution, block orders of various funds and investment accounts for order entry and execution.

Geode has established allocation policies for its various funds and investment accounts to ensure allocations are appropriate given its clients differing investment objectives and other considerations. When the supply/demand is insufficient to satisfy all outstanding trade orders, generally the amount executed is distributed among participating funds and investment accounts based on account asset size (for purchases and naked short sales), and security position size (for sales), or otherwise according to the allocation policies. These policies also apply to initial public and secondary offerings. Generally, allocations are determined by traders, independent of portfolio managers, in accordance with these policies. Allocations are determined and documented on trade date.

Geode's trade allocation policies identify circumstances under which it is appropriate to deviate from the general allocation criteria and describe the alternative procedures. For example, if a standard allocation would result in a fund or investment account receiving a very small allocation (e.g. because of its small assets size), the fund or investment account may receive an increased allocation to achieve a more meaningful allocation, or it may receive no allocation. Generally, any exceptions to the Geode's policies (i.e. special allocations) must be approved by senior investment or trading personnel, reviewed by the compliance department and documented.

VALUATION

Each class's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each class is computed by adding the class's pro rata share of the value of the applicable fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the applicable fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

Growth, Growth & Income, and Asset Allocation Funds. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or 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. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by a fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

Income/Taxable Bond Funds. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or 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.

For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.

Money Market Fund. Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would receive if it sold the instrument.

Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from the fund's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.

<R>BUYING AND SELLING INFORMATION</R>

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), a fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each class's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

The following information is only a summary of some of the tax consequences affecting insurance company separate accounts invested in the funds. No attempt has been made to discuss tax consequences affecting variable product owners. Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Each fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to insurance company separate accounts invested in the fund. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies. If a fund failed to qualify as a "regulated investment company" in any year, among other consequences, each insurance company separate account invested in the fund would fail to satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Each fund also intends to satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. These diversification requirements, which are in addition to the diversification requirements of Subchapter M, place certain limitations on the assets of an insurance company separate account that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers. Because Section 817(h) and the regulations thereunder treat the assets of each fund as the assets of the related insurance company separate account, each fund must also satisfy these requirements. If a fund failed to satisfy these requirements, a variable annuity or variable life insurance product supported by an insurance company separate account invested in the fund would not be treated as an annuity or as life insurance for tax purposes and would no longer be eligible for tax deferral.

Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by a fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50% of a fund's total assets is invested in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may elect to pass through eligible foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to take a deduction or, if they meet certain holding period requirements with respect to fund shares, a credit on their tax returns.

Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chairman. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the non-interested Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding transfer agent and other service agreements, insurance coverage, and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically in the scope of the charters of the Audit Committee or Fund Oversight Committees and considers other operating matters not specifically within the scope of oversight of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 12 meetings.

The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as Chairman. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and their classification as liquid or illiquid and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, and Fidelity funds' investment in, non-traditional securities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held four meetings.

The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chairman), Kirk, and Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chairman) and Cox and Ms. Knowles), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chairman), Gates, and Heilmeier). Each committee normally meets monthly (except August) or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and develops an understanding of and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters and the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The non-interested Trustees of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. Prior to December 2003, the Fixed-Income and International Committee was known as the Fixed-Income/International Committee, and the Select and Special Committee was known as the Select Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Equity Committee held 10 meetings, the Fixed-Income and International Committee held 11 meetings, and the Select and Special Committee held 10 meetings.

The Board of Trustees established in December 2003 two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chairman), Cook, and McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chairman) and Cox, and Ms. Knowles). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the Board of Trustees in its consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, levels, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, each Fund Contract Committee held no meetings.

The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Cox (Chairman), Cook, Heilmeier, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees, custody fees, and direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as small account and exchange fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services and fees. Regarding brokerage, the committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees. The committee also oversees and receives reports on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held nine meetings.

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chairman), and Messrs. Gates, Kirk, and McCoy. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 10 meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chairman), Cox, and Gates, each of whom is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The committee has two charters: one addressing fund governance and Board administrative matters and one addressing the nomination for the appointment or election of non-interested Trustees. The committee meets as called by the Chair. The committee also recommends the establishment of committees (including ad hoc and standing committees). The committee is also responsible for other fund governance and board administration matters. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss the Statement of Policies and other matters relating to fund governance. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the non-interested Trustees. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee will have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify non-interested Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve such firm's fees and other retention terms. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 10 meetings.</R>

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (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 fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East), and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ), and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

Geode, a registered investment adviser, has principal offices at 53 State Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Geode Capital Holdings, LLC. Geode was founded in January 2001 to develop and manage quantitative and investment strategies in the management of equity funds and to provide advisory and sub-advisory services to equity index funds.

FMR, FIMM, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L, Geode (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the funds have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity and Geode investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Subject to approval by the Board of Trustees of VIP Index 500 but without shareholder approval, FMR may replace or hire unaffiliated sub-advisers or amend the terms of their existing sub-advisory agreements, if any.

Each fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. Each fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by each fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation. Each fund also pays the costs related to the solicitation of fund proxies from variable product owners.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $816 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for December 2003 - was 0.1270%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $816 billion.</R>

For VIP Money Market, one-twelfth of the group fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month to which the income component is added.

The income component for each month is the sum of an income-based fee and an asset-based fee as follows:

Gross income, for this purpose, includes interest accrued and/or discount earned (including both original issue discount and market discount) on portfolio obligations, less amortization of premium on portfolio obligations. Annualized gross yield is determined by dividing the fund's gross income for the month by the average daily net assets of the fund and dividing the result by the number of days in the month divided by 365 days. One-twelfth of the annual asset-based fee rate is applied to the fund's average net assets for the month, and the resulting dollar amount (positive or negative) is the asset-based fee for that month.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on each fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of each fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of each fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of each fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of each fund's assets, (4) the allocation of each fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with each fund's custodians and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with each fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including each fund's shareholders.

In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:

Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of each fund's portfolio manager and each fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity, money market, and bond groups. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered each fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including each fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of a fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of a fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of a fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to a fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by each fund and each fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each fund.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be approved.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the non-interested Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)

I. General Principles

<R> A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.</R>

B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.

<R> C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.</R>

II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:

A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.

B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.

C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.

D. Golden Parachutes:

1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.

2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.

3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.

4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

E. Supermajority Provisions.

F. Poison Pills:

1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.

2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.

3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.

5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.

G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).

H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.

I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).

III. Stock Option Plans

A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.

3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.

4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:

a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;

b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and

c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.

7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.

<R> 8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000®; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.</R>

B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:

1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;

2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;

3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;

4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;

5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;

6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:

A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.

C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.

D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.

E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:

1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.

2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.

F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.

<R> G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;</R>

<R> 3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;</R>

<R> 4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:

A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.

B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.

VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:

A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.

B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)

VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.

VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.

IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.

X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.

A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.

XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.

XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.

XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.

XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.

XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest

Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.

FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:

A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.

B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.

C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.

D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.

XVI. Executive Compensation

FMR will consider withholding authority for the election of directors and voting against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans based on whether the proposals are consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.

<R>XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R>XVIII. Auditors</R>

<R> A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.</R>

<R> B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.</R>

<R>XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R>Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and voted in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under Unites States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

<R>As an investment adviser, Geode Capital Management, LLC ("Geode") holds voting authority for securities in many of the client accounts that it manages. Geode takes seriously its responsibility to monitor corporate events affecting securities in those client accounts and to exercise its voting authority with respect to those securities in the best interests of its clients (including shareholders of mutual funds for which it serves as advisor or subadvisor). The purposes of these proxy voting policies are (1) to establish a framework for Geode's analysis and decision-making with respect to proxy voting and (2) to set forth operational procedures for Geode's exercise of proxy voting authority.</R>

Overview

Geode applies the same voting decision for all accounts in which it exercises voting authority, and seeks in all cases to vote in a manner that Geode believes represents the best interests of its clients (including shareholders of mutual funds for which it serves as advisor or sub-advisor). Geode anticipates that, based on its current business model, it will manage the vast majority of assets under its management using passive investment management techniques, such as indexing. Geode also anticipates that it will manage private funds and separate accounts using active investment management techniques, primarily employing quantitative investment strategies.

Geode has established an Operations Committee, consisting of senior officers and investment professionals, including Geode's President, Chief Operating Officer and Compliance Officer. The Operations Committee oversees the exercise of voting authority under these proxy voting policies, consulting with Geode's legal counsel with respect to controversial matters and for interpretive and other guidance. Geode will engage an established commercial proxy advisory service (the "Agent") for comprehensive analysis, research and voting recommendations, particularly for matters that may be controversial, present potential conflicts of interest or require case-by-case analysis under these guidelines. Geode has directed the Agent to employ the policies set forth below, together with more specific guidelines and instructions set forth in a detailed, customized questionnaire developed jointly by Geode and the Agent, to formulate recommended votes on each matter. Geode may determine to accept or reject any recommendation based on the research and analysis provided by the Agent or on any independent research and analysis obtained or generated by Geode; however, because the recommended votes are determined solely based on the customized policies established by Geode, Geode expects that the recommendations will be followed in most cases. The Agent also acts as a proxy voting agent (the "Agent") to effect the votes and assists in maintaining records of all of Geode's proxy votes. In all cases, the ultimate voting decision and responsibility rests with the members of the Operations Committee, which is accountable to Geode's clients (including shareholders of mutual funds for which it serves as advisor or sub-advisor).

Policies

As a general matter, (1) proxies will be voted FOR incumbent members of a board of directors and FOR routine management proposals, except as otherwise addressed under these policies; (2) shareholder and non-routine management proposals addressed by these policies will be voted as provided in these policies; and (3) shareholder and non-routine management proposals not addressed by these policies will be evaluated by the Geode analyst or portfolio manager based on fundamental analysis and/or research and recommendations provided by the Agent, and the evaluator shall make a recommendation to the Operations Committee, which shall make the voting decision.

Proxy votes shall be considered and made in a manner consistent with the best interests of Geode's clients (including shareholders of mutual fund clients) without regard to any other relationship, business or otherwise, between the portfolio company subject to the proxy vote and Geode or its affiliates. Due to its focused business model and the number of investments that Geode will make for its clients (particularly pursuant to its indexing strategy), Geode does not anticipate that actual or potential conflicts of interest are likely to occur in the ordinary course of its business; however, Geode believes it is essential to avoid having conflicts of interest affect its objective of voting in the best interests of its clients. Therefore, in the event that the Operations Committee, the Agent or any other person involved in the analysis or voting of proxies has knowledge of, or has reason to believe there may exist, any potential relationship, business or otherwise, between the portfolio company subject to the proxy vote and Geode (and any subsidiary of Geode) or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, such person shall notify the Operations Committee and consult with counsel to Geode to analyze and address such potential conflict of interest. In the case of an actual conflict of interest, on the advice of counsel, Geode expects that the independent directors of Geode will consider the matter and may (1) determine that there is no conflict of interest (or that reasonable measures have been taken to remedy or avoid any conflict of interest) that would prevent Geode from voting the applicable proxy, (2) acting as independent directors, using such information as is available from the Agent, vote the applicable proxy, or (3) cause authority to delegated to the Agent or a similar special fiduciary to vote the applicable proxy.

Geode has established the specific proxy voting policies that are summarized below to maximize the value of investments in its clients' accounts, which it believes will be furthered through (1) accountability of a company's management and directors to its shareholders, (2) alignment of the interests of management with those of shareholders (including through compensation, benefit and equity ownership programs), and (3) increased disclosure of a company's business and operations. Geode's specific policies are as follows:

I. Vote AGAINST Anti-Takeover Proposals, including:

  • Addition of Special Interest Directors to the board.
  • Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock. Geode will vote FOR proposals to require shareholder approval for the distribution of preferred stock except for acquisitions and raising capital in the ordinary course of business.
  • Classification of Boards, provided that the matter will be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis if the company's charter or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors. Geode will vote FOR proposals to declassify boards.
  • Fair Price Amendments, other than those that consider only a two-year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.
  • Golden Parachutes including (1) any accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination, (2) compensation contracts for outside directors, and (3) Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment. In addition, adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in Geode voting AGAINST the election of incumbents or a management slate in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.
  • Poison Pills. Adoption or extension of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in our voting AGAINST the election of incumbents or a management slate in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors, provided the matter will be considered on a CASE-BY-CASE basis if either (1) (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than three years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill, or (2) company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. Geode will vote FOR shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.
  • Reduction or Limitation of Shareholder Rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).
  • Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by Anti-Takeover Provisions, including increased statutory anti-takeover provisions). Geode will vote FOR reincorporation in another state when not accompanied by such anti-takeover provisions.
  • Requirements that the Board Consider Non-Financial Effects of merger and acquisition proposals.
  • Requirements regarding Size, Selection and Removal of the Board that are likely to have an anti-takeover effect (although changes with legitimate business purposes will be evaluated on a CASE-BY-CASE basis).
  • Supermajority Voting Requirements (i.e., typically 2/3 or greater) for boards and shareholders. Geode will vote FOR proposals to eliminate supermajority voting requirements.
  • Transfer of Authority from Shareholders to Directors.

II. Vote FOR proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or bylaws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.

III. Vote AGAINST the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.

IV. Vote FOR introduction and AGAINST elimination of Cumulative Voting Rights, except on a CASE-BY-CASE basis where this is determined not to enhance clients' interests as minority shareholders.

V. Vote FOR elimination of Preemptive Rights.

VI. Vote FOR Anti-Greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions (in which case the vote will be AGAINST).

VII. Vote FOR charter and by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors to the maximum extent permitted under Delaware law (regardless of the state of incorporation) and vote AGAINST charter and by-law amendments completely Eliminating Directors' Liability for Breaches of Care, with all other situations addressed on a CASE-BY-CASE basis.

VIII. Vote FOR proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.

IX. Vote FOR Open-Market Stock Repurchase Programs, provided that the repurchase price to be paid would not exceed 105% of the market price as of the date of purchase.

X. Vote FOR management proposals to implement a Reverse Stock Split when the number of shares will be proportionately reduced to avoid de-listing.

XI. Vote FOR management proposals to Reduce the Par Value of common stock.

XII. Vote FOR the Issuance of Large Blocks of Stock if such proposals have a legitimate business purpose and do not result in dilution of greater than 10%.

XIII. Vote AGAINST Unusual Increases in Common Stock, which means any increase in excess of three times for U.S. securities or one time for non-U.S. securities. For these purposes, an increase is measure by adding to the requested increased authorization any stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill, divided by the current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority).

XIV. Vote AGAINST the adoption of or amendment to authorize additional shares under a Stock Option Plan if:

  • The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan (including by virtue of any "evergreen" or replenishment provision), plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 15% for U.S. securities or 5% for non-U.S. securities. However, for small capitalization companies1, the dilution effect may not be greater than 20% for U.S. securities or 10% for non-U.S. securities. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.

1 For purposes of these proxy voting policies, a "small capitalization company" means a U.S. company outside of the Russell 1000 Index, and a "large capitalization company" means a company included in the Russell 1000 Index.

  • The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus, except that a modest number of shares (limited to 5% for a large capitalization company and 10% for a small capitalization company) may be available for grant to employees and directors under the plan if the grant is made by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors (the "De Minimis Exception").
  • The board may, without shareholder approval, make the following changes (1) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (2) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (3) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan, provided that a plan is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.
  • The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to the discretion of management, provided that a plan is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.
  • The plan is administered by (1) a compensation committee not comprised entirely of independent directors or (2) a board of directors not comprised of a majority of independent directors, provided that a plan is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.
  • The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the board/committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past two years, unless by the express terms of the plan or a board resolution such repricing is rarely used (and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control) and is within the limits of the De Minimis Exception.

XV. Vote AGAINST the election of incumbents or a management slate in an election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan, unless such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting and a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors has determined that (1) options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, (2) no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and (3) such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting.

XVI. Evaluate proposals to Reprice Outstanding Stock Options on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, taking into account such factors as: (1) whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors; (2) whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded the dilution thresholds described in these current proxy voting policies when initially granted; (3) whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model; (4) the company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries; (5) economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and (6) other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.

XVII. Vote AGAINST adoption of or amendments to authorize additional shares for Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") if:

  • The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for small capitalization companies, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.
  • The board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion, provided that an RSA is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.
  • The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to the discretion of management, provided that an RSA is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.
  • The restriction period is less than three years, except that (1) RSAs with a restriction period of less than three years but at least one year are acceptable if performance-based, and (2) an RSA is acceptable if it satisfies the De Minimis Exception.

XVIII. Vote AGAINST Omnibus Stock Plans if one or more component violates any of the criteria applicable to Stock Option Plans or RSAs under these proxy voting policies, unless such component is de minimis. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in applicable to Stock Option Plans or RSAs under these proxy voting policies will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.

XIX. Vote AGAINST Employee Stock Purchase Plans if the plan violates any of the criteria applicable to Stock Option Plans or RSAs under these proxy voting policies, except that (1) the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity, and (2) in the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the Agent, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.

XX. Vote AGAINST Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) unless on a CASE-BY-CASE basis it is determined they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.

XXI. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") will be evaluated on a CASE-BY-CASE basis, generally voting FOR non-leveraged ESOPs, and in the case of leveraged ESOPs, giving consideration to the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. Geode may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Geode will vote AGAINST a leveraged ESOP if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon a change in control.

XXII. Vote AGAINST management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other Compensation Plans if the proposals are Inconsistent with the Interests of Shareholders of a company whose securities are held in client accounts, taking into account such factors as: (1) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (2) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants. In addition, Geode may vote AGAINST the election of incumbents or a management slate in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors based on such factors or if Geode believes a board has approved executive compensation arrangements inconsistent with the interests of shareholders of a company whose securities are held in client accounts.

XXIII. ABSTAIN with respect to shareholder proposals addressing Social/Political Responsibility Issues, which Geode believes generally address ordinary business matters that are primarily the responsibility of a company's management and board, except that Geode will vote on a CASE-BY-CASE basis where a proposal has substantial economic implications for the company's securities held in client accounts.

Adopted July 2003

Under each Initial Class Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Initial Class Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Initial Class shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners. In addition, each Initial Class Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Initial Class shares.

Under each Service Class and Service Class 2 Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by each Plan. Each Service Class and Service Class 2 Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class and Service Class 2 shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Service Class and Service Class 2 shares.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the applicable class of the fund and variable product owners. In particular, the Trustees noted that each Initial Class Plan does not authorize payments by Initial Class of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of class shares, additional sales of class shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain support services that benefit variable product owners may be provided more effectively under the Plans by insurance companies and their affiliates with whom variable product owners have other relationships.

Each Service Class and Service Class 2 Plan does not provide for specific payments by the applicable class of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each class of each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Co., Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreements, FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for each class of each fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives an asset-based fee paid monthly with respect to each account in a fund.

Asset Manager Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio, Contrafund Portfolio, Index 500 Portfolio, and Investment Grade Bond Portfolio are funds of </R>Variable Insurance Products Fund<R> II, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated March 21, 1988.

Growth Stock Portfolio, Real Estate Portfolio, and Value Leaders Portfolio are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund IV, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated June 1, 1983. On December 14, 2000, Variable Insurance Products Fund IV changed its name from Fidelity Advisor Series VI to Variable Insurance Products Fund IV. Currently, there are six funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund: Equity-Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Overseas Portfolio, and Value Portfolio. C<R>urrently, there are five funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund II: Asset Manager Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio, Contrafund Portfolio, Index 500 Portfolio, and Investment Grade Bond Portfolio. Currently, there are seven funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund III: Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Balanced Portfolio, Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio, Growth & Income Portfolio, Growth Opportunities Portfolio, Mid Cap Portfolio, and Value Strategies Portfolio. Currently, there are eleven funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund IV: Consumer Industries Portfolio, Cyclical Industries Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, Growth Stock Portfolio, Health Care Portfolio, Natural Resources Portfolio, Real Estate Portfolio, Strategic Income Portfolio, Technology Portfolio, Telecommunications & Utilities Growth Portfolio, and Value Leaders Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trusts and to create additional classes of the funds.</R>

The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in a trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the respective trusts shall be allocated between or among any one or more of its funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. Each trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

Each Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. Each Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. Each Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

Each Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. Each Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value they own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

Each trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of a trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of a trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate each trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

<R></R>Custodians. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of VIP Contrafund, VIP Mid Cap, and VIP Value Leaders. State Street Bank and Trust Company, 1776 Heritage Drive, Quincy, Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation and VIP Value. JPMorgan Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth & Income, and VIP Overseas. The Bank of New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, and VIP Money Market. Mellon Bank, N.A., One Mellon Center, 500 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is custodian of the assets of VIP Growth, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Index 500, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Strategies. Each custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. JPMorgan Chase Bank, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets of VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Growth, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Money Market, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies in connection with repurchase agreement transactions. The Bank of New York, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets of VIP Aggressive Growth, VIP Asset Manager, VIP Asset Manager: Growth, VIP Balanced, VIP Contrafund, VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation, VIP Equity-Income, VIP Growth, VIP Growth & Income, VIP Growth Opportunities, VIP Growth Stock, VIP Index 500, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Overseas, VIP Real Estate, VIP Value, VIP Value Leaders, and VIP Value Strategies in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, Members of the Advisory Board, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. The Boston branch of VIP Contrafund's, VIP Mid Cap's, and VIP Value Leaders' custodian leases its office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Overseas Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in non-U.S. securities.
  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Allocating investments across countries and regions considering the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.
  • Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets, particularly emerging 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Performance

The following information illustrates each class of the fund's performance over the past year and compares each class's performance to the performance of a market index and an average of the performance of similar funds over various periods of time. Returns for each class of the fund do not include the effect of any sales charges or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. Returns for each class of the fund would be lower if the effect of those sales charges and expenses were included. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

A FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse Initial Class R, Service Class R, and Service Class 2 R of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), as a percentage of their respective average net assets, exceed the following rates:

These arrangements may be discontinued by FMR at any time.

A portion of the brokerage commissions that the fund pays may be reimbursed and used to reduce the fund's expenses. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian expenses. Including these reductions, the total Initial Class R, Service Class R, and Service Class 2 R operating expenses are shown in the table below.

Let's say, hypothetically, that each class's annual return is 5% and that the fees and each class's annual operating expenses 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 reflect the effect of any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Overseas Portfolio seeks long-term growth of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests at least 80% of the fund's assets in non-U.S. securities. FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR normally diversifies the fund's investments across different countries and regions. In allocating the fund's investments across countries and regions, FMR will consider the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.

FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The 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. The fund's reaction to these developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

The following factors can significantly affect the fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

Investing in emerging markets can involve risks in addition to and greater than those generally associated with investing in more developed foreign markets. The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging market economies can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties. All of these factors can make emerging market securities more volatile and potentially less liquid than securities issued in more developed markets.

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect the fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policy discussed below is fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

Shareholder Notice

The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

Fund Basics - continued

Country or Geographic Region

FMR considers non-U.S. securities to include investments that are tied economically to a particular country or region outside the U.S. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: the source of government guarantees (if any); the primary trading market; the issuer's domicile, sources of revenue, and location of assets; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.

Valuing Shares

The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each class's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing each class's NAV.

To the extent that the fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of the fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

The fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations or official closing prices. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. Separate accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the fund. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Only separate accounts of insurance companies that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund containing, among other things, provisions requiring them to administer the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), consistent with the fund's requirements, can buy or sell shares of the fund.

The price to buy one share of each class is the class's NAV. Each class's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

The fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the fund does not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of the fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in the fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

The fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.

The price to sell one share of each class is the class's NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

A variable product owner (or a person who succeeds to the owner's rights after the owner's death) who chooses to redeem an interest in a separate account that invests in Initial Class R, Service Class R, and Service Class 2 R of the fund will be subject to a 1.00% class short-term trading fee if the interest in the separate account has been held for less than 60 days. For this purpose, interests held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and interests held shortest as being redeemed last.

Trading fees are retained by the fund rather than Fidelity, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading.

In certain limited circumstances discussed in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus, a variable product owner may not pay the short-term trading fee.

Shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect the fund.

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund.

Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.

The fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with FMR and/or each other. The fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to variable product owners arising out of the fact that the fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees that oversees the fund intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response.

Variable product owners may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify their identities in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

The fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. The fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

The fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in February.

Dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the same class of the fund.

Tax Consequences

Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from the fund.

FIJ may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States and may also provide investment advisory and order execution services for the fund from time to time.

FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC) serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. FMRC has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for the fund.

FMRC is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 30, 2004, FMRC had approximately $601.2 billion in discretionary assets under management.

Richard Mace is vice president and manager of VIP Overseas Portfolio, which he has managed since March 1996. He also manages other Fidelity Funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1987, Mr. Mace has worked as a research analyst and manager.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

The fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 2003, the group fee rate was 0.28%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, was 0.73% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

The fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of the fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes each class's shares.

Initial Class R has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Initial Class R shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Initial Class R.

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

Service Class R has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class R is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class R may pay this 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets, or such lesser amount as the Trustees may determine from time to time. Service Class R currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.10% of its average net assets throughout the month. Service Class R's 12b-1 (service) fee rate may be increased only when the Trustees believe that it is in the best interests of variable product owners to do so.

Service Class 2 R has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class 2 R is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 R currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of these 12b-1 (service) fees to intermediaries (such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing support services that benefit variable product owners.

In addition, each Service Class R and Service Class 2 R plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class R and Service Class 2 R shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of the fund has authorized such payments for Service Class R and Service Class 2 R.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under Initial Class R's Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of Initial Class R's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and might cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class R's and Service Class 2 R's assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the fund or by FDC to sell shares of the fund to or to buy shares of the fund from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (USA PATRIOT ACT), requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account.

For variable product owners: When you open an account, you will be asked for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow Fidelity to identify you. You may also be asked to provide documents that may help to establish your identity, such as your driver's license.

For insurance separate accounts: When you open an account, you will be asked for the name of the entity, its principal place of business and taxpayer identification number (TIN) and may be requested to provide information on persons with authority or control over the account such as name, residential address, date of birth and social security number. You may also be asked to provide documents, such as driver's licenses, articles of incorporation, trust instruments or partnership agreements and other information that will help Fidelity identify the entity.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Investing in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • Investing in either "growth" stocks or "value" stocks or both.
  • <R>Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.</R>

<R>Principal Investment Risks</R>

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Investment Objective

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income. The fund will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. The fund's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index (S&P 500®).

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities.
  • Normally investing primarily in income-producing equity securities, which tends to lead to investments in large cap "value" stocks.
  • Potentially investing in other types of equity securities and debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • <R>Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.</R>

<R>Principal Investment Risks</R>

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market can react differently to these developments.
  • 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.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.
  • "Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks and can continue to be undervalued by the market for long periods of time.

When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

Investment Objective

VIP Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Investing in companies that it believes have above-average growth potential (stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • <R>Using fundamental analysis of each issuer's financial condition and industry position and market and economic conditions to select investments.</R>

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR normally invests the fund's assets primarily in common stocks.

FMR invests the fund's assets in securities of companies whose value it believes is not fully recognized by the public. The types of companies in which the fund may invest include companies experiencing positive fundamental change, such as a new management team or product launch, a significant cost-cutting initiative, a merger or acquisition, or a reduction in industry capacity that should lead to improved pricing; companies whose earnings potential has increased or is expected to increase more than generally perceived; companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have fallen temporarily out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term; and companies that are undervalued in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry.

FMR may invest the fund's assets in securities of foreign issuers in addition to securities of domestic issuers.

FMR is not constrained by any particular investment style. At any given time, FMR may tend to buy "growth" stocks or "value" stocks, or a combination of both types. In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR relies on fundamental analysis of each issuer and its potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions. Factors considered include growth potential, earnings estimates, and management.

<R>In addition to the principal investment strategies discussed above, FMR may lend the fund's securities to broker-dealers or other institutions to earn income for the fund.</R>

<R>FMR may also use various techniques, such as buying and selling futures contracts and exchange traded funds, to increase or decrease the fund's exposure to changing security prices or other factors that affect security values. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective. </R>

FMR invests the fund's assets in companies it believes have above-average growth potential. Growth may be measured by factors such as earnings or revenue.

Companies with high growth potential tend to be companies with higher than average price/earnings (P/E) or price/book (P/B) ratios. Companies with strong growth potential often have new products, technologies, distribution channels, or other opportunities, or have a strong industry or market position. The stocks of these companies are often called "growth" stocks.

Fund Basics - continued

Description of Principal Security Types

Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Different types of equity securities provide different voting and dividend rights and priority in the event of the bankruptcy of the issuer. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities, and warrants.

<R></R>Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Principal Investment Risks

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 developments will be affected by the types of securities in which the fund invests, the financial condition, industry and economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and the fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. When a shareholder sells shares they may be worth more or less than what the shareholder paid for them, which means that the shareholder could lose money.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Stock Market Volatility. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer, political, market, and economic developments. In the short term, equity prices can fluctuate dramatically in response to these developments. Different parts of the market and different types of equity securities can react differently to these developments. For example, large cap stocks can react differently from small cap stocks, and "growth" stocks can react differently from "value" stocks. Issuer, political, or economic developments can affect a single issuer, issuers within an industry or economic sector or geographic region, or the market as a whole.

Interest Rate Changes. Debt securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a debt security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities and mortgage securities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes.

Foreign Exposure. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions in foreign countries. These risks include fluctuations in foreign currencies; withholding or other taxes; trading, settlement, custodial, and other operational risks; and the less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of some foreign markets. All of these factors can make foreign investments, especially those in emerging markets, more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can perform differently from the U.S. market.

<R></R>Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or counterparty, changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of security or issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a security's or instrument's credit quality or value. The value of securities of smaller, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers. Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality) and certain types of other securities tend to be particularly sensitive to these changes.

Lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer. The value of lower-quality debt securities and certain types of other securities often fluctuates in response to company, political, or economic developments and can decline significantly over short periods of time or during periods of general or regional economic difficulty.

"Growth" Investing. "Growth" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Growth" stocks tend to be more expensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. As a result, "growth" stocks tend to be sensitive to changes in their earnings and more volatile than other types of stocks.

"Value" Investing. "Value" stocks can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks. "Value" stocks tend to be inexpensive relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However, "value" stocks can continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not ever realize their full value.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance and the fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio seeks reasonable income by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities. In choosing these securities, the fund will also consider the potential for capital appreciation. The fund's goal is to achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the securities comprising the S&P 500.

Shareholder Notice

The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

VIP Equity-Income Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities.

Prospectus

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

A class's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates Service Class 2 R's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing Service Class 2 R's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

<R>Each fund's assets are valued primarily on the basis of market quotations or official closing prices. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (for example, a foreign exchange or market), that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.</R>

Shareholder Information

Buying and Selling Shares

Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. Separate accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the funds. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Only separate accounts of insurance companies that have signed the appropriate agreements with the funds containing, among other things, provisions requiring them to administer the redemption fee (short-term trading fee), consistent with the funds' requirements, can buy or sell shares of the funds.

The price to buy one share of Service Class 2 R is the class's NAV. Service Class 2 R shares are sold without a sales charge.

Shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form.

A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

<R>Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.</R>

The price to sell one share of Service Class 2 R is the class's NAV, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable.

A variable product owner (or a person who succeeds to the owner's rights after the owner's death) who chooses to redeem an interest in a separate account that invests in Service Class 2 R of a fund will be subject to a 1.00% class short-term trading fee if the interest in the separate account has been held for less than 60 days. For this purpose, interests held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and interests held shortest as being redeemed last.

Trading fees are retained by the funds rather than Fidelity or Service Class 2 R, and are designed to offset the brokerage commissions, market impact, and other costs associated with fluctuations in fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term trading.

In certain limited circumstances discussed in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus, a variable product owner may not pay the short-term trading fee.

<R>Shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after an order is received in proper form, minus the short-term trading fee, if applicable. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.</R>

Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.

<R>Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.</R>

Each fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that may be affiliated or unaffiliated with FMR and/or each other. Each fund currently does not foresee any disadvantages to variable product owners arising out of the fact that the fund offers its shares to separate accounts of insurance companies that offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products. Nevertheless, the Board of Trustees that oversees each fund intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response.

<R>Variable product owners may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify their identities in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.</R>

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns dividends, interest, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund also realizes capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less any losses) to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Each fund normally pays dividends and capital gain distributions at least annually, in February.

Dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Service Class 2 R shares of the fund.

Tax Consequences

Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from a fund.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. The fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.52%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

<R>For December 2003, the group fee rate was 0.28% for VIP Contrafund, VIP Equity-Income, and VIP Growth. The individual fund fee rate is 0.20% for VIP Equity-Income and 0.30% for VIP Contrafund and VIP Growth.</R>

<R>The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, for each fund is shown in the following table.</R>

<R>FMR pays FMRC, FMR U.K., and FMR Far East for providing sub-advisory services. FMR pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L. FIIA or FMR Far East in turn pays FIJ for providing sub-advisory services.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse a class for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a class if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a class's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

Each fund is composed of multiple classes of shares. All classes of a fund have a common investment objective and investment portfolio.

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes Service Class 2 R's shares.

Service Class 2 R of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the plan, Service Class 2 R of each fund is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 R of each fund currently pays FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average net assets throughout the month.

FDC may reallow up to the full amount of these 12b-1 (service) fees to intermediaries (such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers), including its affiliates, for providing support services that benefit variable product owners.

In addition, each Service Class 2 R plan specifically recognizes that FMR may make payments from its management fee revenue, past profits, or other resources to FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class 2 R shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments for Service Class 2 R.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class 2 R's assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of a shareholder's investment and may cost a shareholder more than paying other types of sales charges.

<R>To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance. </R>

<R>No dealer, sales representative, or any other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this prospectus and in the related statement of additional information (SAI), in connection with the offer contained in this prospectus. If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the funds or FDC. This prospectus and the related SAI do not constitute an offer by the funds or by FDC to sell shares of the funds to or to buy shares of the funds from any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer.</R>

Financial Highlights

The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand Service Class 2 R's financial history for the period of the class's operations. Certain information reflects financial results for a single class share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the class (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP (for VIP Contrafund) and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (for VIP Equity-Income and VIP Growth), independent accountants, whose reports, along with each fund's financial highlights and financial statements, are included in each fund's annual report.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

<R></R>The following are each fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.

<R></R>Diversification

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer.</R>

<R></R>Senior Securities

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.</R>

<R></R>Borrowing

<R></R>For each fund (other than VIP Contrafund):

<R>The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund (i) may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) or (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements, provided that (i) and (ii) in combination (borrowings) do not exceed 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amounts borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the fund's total assets by reason of a decline in net assets will be reduced within three days (exclusive of Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.</R>

<R></R>For VIP Contrafund:

<R>The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.</R>

<R></R>Underwriting

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.</R>

<R></R>Concentration

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.</R>

<R></R>Real Estate

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).</R>

<R></R>Commodities

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities).</R>

<R></R>Loans

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.</R>

<R></R>The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

<R></R>Short Sales

<R></R>For each fund:

<R>The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.</R>

<R></R>Margin Purchases

<R></R>For each fund:

The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) may employ in pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

Asset-Backed Securities represent interests in pools of mortgages, loans, receivables, or other assets. Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. Asset-backed security values may also be affected by other factors including changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities providing the credit enhancement. In addition, these securities may be subject to prepayment risk.

Borrowing. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a fund borrows money, its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing is paid off. If a fund makes additional investments while borrowings are outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.

Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash or can invest it in cash equivalents such as money market securities, repurchase agreements, or shares of money market or short-term bond funds. Generally, these securities offer less potential for gains than other types of securities.

Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Common Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds and preferred stock take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

Convertible Securities are bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stocks, or other securities that may be converted or exchanged (by the holder or by the issuer) into shares of the underlying common stock (or cash or securities of equivalent value) at a stated exchange ratio. A convertible security may also be called for redemption or conversion by the issuer after a particular date and under certain circumstances (including a specified price) established upon issue. If a convertible security held by a fund is called for redemption or conversion, the fund could be required to tender it for redemption, convert it into the underlying common stock, or sell it to a third party.

Convertible securities generally have less potential for gain or loss than common stocks. Convertible securities generally provide yields higher than the underlying common stocks, but generally lower than comparable non-convertible securities. Because of this higher yield, convertible securities generally sell at prices above their "conversion value," which is the current market value of the stock to be received upon conversion. The difference between this conversion value and the price of convertible securities will vary over time depending on changes in the value of the underlying common stocks and interest rates. When the underlying common stocks decline in value, convertible securities will tend not to decline to the same extent because of the interest or dividend payments and the repayment of principal at maturity for certain types of convertible securities. However, securities that are convertible other than at the option of the holder generally do not limit the potential for loss to the same extent as securities convertible at the option of the holder. When the underlying common stocks rise in value, the value of convertible securities may also be expected to increase. At the same time, however, the difference between the market value of convertible securities and their conversion value will narrow, which means that the value of convertible securities will generally not increase to the same extent as the value of the underlying common stocks. Because convertible securities may also be interest-rate sensitive, their value may increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. Convertible securities are also subject to credit risk, and are often lower-quality securities.

<R></R>Country or Geographic Region. FMR considers a number of factors to determine whether an investment is tied economically to a particular country or region including: whether the investment is issued or guaranteed by a particular government or any of its agencies, political subdivisions, or instrumentalities; whether the investment has its primary trading market in a particular country or region; whether the issuer is organized under the laws of, derives at least 50% of its revenues from, or has at least 50% of its assets in a particular country or region; whether the investment is included in an index representative of a particular country or region; and whether the investment is exposed to the economic fortunes and risks of a particular country or region.

<R></R>Debt Securities are used by issuers to borrow money. The issuer usually pays a fixed, variable, or floating rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at the maturity of the security. Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay interest but are sold at a deep discount from their face values. Debt securities include corporate bonds, government securities, repurchase agreements, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities.

Exposure to Foreign Markets. Foreign securities, foreign currencies, and securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations may involve significant risks in addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments.

Foreign investments involve risks relating to local political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments, and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Such actions may include expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation, restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention. Additionally, governmental issuers of foreign debt securities may be unwilling to pay interest and repay principal when due and may require that the conditions for payment be renegotiated. There is no assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or counter their effects. In addition, the value of securities denominated in foreign currencies and of dividends and interest paid with respect to such securities will fluctuate based on the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

It is anticipated that in most cases the best available market for foreign securities will be on an exchange or in over-the-counter (OTC) markets located outside of the United States. Foreign stock markets, while growing in volume and sophistication, are generally not as developed as those in the United States, and securities of some foreign issuers may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. Foreign security trading, settlement and custodial practices (including those involving securities settlement where fund assets may be released prior to receipt of payment) are often less developed than those in U.S. markets, and may result in increased risk or substantial delays in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of, or breach of duty by, a foreign broker-dealer, securities depository, or foreign subcustodian. In addition, the costs associated with foreign investments, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and custodial costs, are generally higher than with U.S. investments.

Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are generally not bound by uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting requirements and standards of practice comparable to those applicable to U.S. issuers. Adequate public information on foreign issuers may not be available, and it may be difficult to secure dividends and information regarding corporate actions on a timely basis. In general, there is less overall governmental supervision and regulation of securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. OTC markets tend to be less regulated than stock exchange markets and, in certain countries, may be totally unregulated. Regulatory enforcement may be influenced by economic or political concerns, and investors may have difficulty enforcing their legal rights in foreign countries.

Some foreign securities impose restrictions on transfer within the United States or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject to such transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such restrictions.

American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) as well as other "hybrid" forms of ADRs, including European Depositary Receipts (EDRs) and Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs), are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the United States or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution in the issuer's home country. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer's country.

The risks of foreign investing may be magnified for investments in emerging markets. Security prices in emerging markets can be significantly more volatile than those in more developed markets, reflecting the greater uncertainties of investing in less established markets and economies. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments, may present the risks of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership and prohibitions on the repatriation of assets, and may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of countries with emerging markets may be based on only a few industries, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions, and may suffer from extreme and volatile debt burdens or inflation rates. Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.

Foreign Currency Transactions. A fund may conduct foreign currency transactions on a spot (i.e., cash) or forward basis (i.e., by entering into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies). Although foreign exchange dealers generally do not charge a fee for such conversions, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the counterparty desire to resell that currency to the dealer. Forward contracts are customized transactions that require a specific amount of a currency to be delivered at a specific exchange rate on a specific date or range of dates in the future. Forward contracts are generally traded in an interbank market directly between currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency exchange.

The following discussion summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward contracts that could be used by a fund. A fund may also use swap agreements, indexed securities, and options and futures contracts relating to foreign currencies for the same purposes.

A "settlement hedge" or "transaction hedge" is designed to protect a fund against an adverse change in foreign currency values between the date a security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received. Entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in an underlying security transaction for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars "locks in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. Forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign currency may also be used by a fund in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not yet been selected by FMR.

A fund may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such a hedge, sometimes referred to as a "position hedge," would tend to offset both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset changes in security values caused by other factors. A fund could also hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform similarly to the pound sterling. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a direct hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the hedged securities are denominated.

A fund may enter into forward contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency into another. This may include shifting exposure from U.S. dollars to a foreign currency, or from one foreign currency to another foreign currency. This type of strategy, sometimes known as a "cross-hedge," will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, much as if a fund had sold a security denominated in one currency and purchased an equivalent security denominated in another. Cross-hedges protect against losses resulting from a decline in the hedged currency, but will cause a fund to assume the risk of fluctuations in the value of the currency it purchases.

Successful use of currency management strategies will depend on FMR's skill in analyzing currency values. Currency management strategies may substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency exchange rates and could result in losses to a fund if currencies do not perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for dollars, a fund would not participate in the currency's appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund could realize currency losses from both the hedge and the security position if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency and that currency's value declines, a fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that FMR's use of currency management strategies will be advantageous to a fund or that it will hedge at appropriate times.

Foreign Repurchase Agreements. Foreign repurchase agreements involve an agreement to purchase a foreign security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price in either U.S. dollars or foreign currency. Unlike typical U.S. repurchase agreements, foreign repurchase agreements may not be fully collateralized at all times. The value of a security purchased by a fund may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to repurchase the security. In the event of default by the counterparty, the fund may suffer a loss if the value of the security purchased is less than the agreed-upon repurchase price, or if the fund is unable to successfully assert a claim to the collateral under foreign laws. As a result, foreign repurchase agreements may involve higher credit risks than repurchase agreements in U.S. markets, as well as risks associated with currency fluctuations. In addition, as with other emerging market investments, repurchase agreements with counterparties located in emerging markets or relating to emerging markets may involve issuers or counterparties with lower credit ratings than typical U.S. repurchase agreements.

<R></R>Funds' Rights as Investors. The funds do not intend to direct or administer the day-to-day operations of any company. A fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder or lender and may communicate its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of Directors, shareholders of a company, and holders of other securities of the company when FMR determines that such matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's investment in the company. The activities in which a fund may engage, either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies; seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its assets; supporting or opposing third-party takeover efforts; supporting the filing of a bankruptcy petition; or foreclosing on collateral securing a security. This area of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to the extent possible, the risk of litigation against a fund and the risk of actual liability if a fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken or liabilities incurred. The funds' proxy voting guidelines are included in this SAI.

Futures, Options, and Swaps. The following paragraphs pertain to futures, options, and swaps: Combined Positions, Correlation of Price Changes, Futures Contracts, Futures Margin Payments, Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions, Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts, Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies, OTC Options, Purchasing Put and Call Options, Writing Put and Call Options, and Swap Agreements.

Combined Positions involve purchasing and writing options in combination with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For example, purchasing a put option and writing a call option on the same underlying instrument would construct a combined position whose risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract. Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, to reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult to open and close out.

Correlation of Price Changes. Because there are a limited number of types of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or anticipated investments exactly. A fund may invest in options and futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities, or other characteristics from the securities in which the fund typically invests, which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track the performance of the fund's other investments.

Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.

<R></R>Futures Contracts. In purchasing a futures contract, the buyer agrees to purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. In selling a futures contract, the seller agrees to sell a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and sale will take place is fixed when the buyer and seller enter into the contract. Some currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities, such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index (S&P 500®). Futures can be held until their delivery dates, or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.

Futures may be based on foreign indexes such as the Compagnie des Agents de Change 40 Index (CAC 40) in France, the Deutscher Aktienindex (DAX 30) in Germany, the Financial Times Stock Exchange Eurotop 100 Index (FTSE Eurotop 100) in Europe, the IBEX 35 Index (IBEX 35) in Spain, the Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE 100) in the United Kingdom, the Australian Stock Exchange All Ordinaries Index (ASX All Ordinaries) in Australia, the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, and the Nikkei Stock Average (Nikkei 225), the Nikkei Stock Index 300 (Nikkei 300), and the Tokyo Stock Exchange Stock Price Index (TOPIX) in Japan.

The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts, therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.

Futures Margin Payments. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a fund's investment limitations. In the event of the bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to the fund.

Although futures exchanges generally operate similarly in the United States and abroad, foreign futures exchanges may follow trading, settlement, and margin procedures that are different from those for U.S. exchanges. Futures contracts traded outside the United States may involve greater risk of loss than U.S.-traded contracts, including potentially greater risk of losses due to insolvency of a futures broker, exchange member, or other party that may owe initial or variation margin to a fund. Because initial and variation margin payments may be measured in foreign currency, a futures contract traded outside the United States may also involve the risk of foreign currency fluctuation.

<R></R>Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions. Each trust, on behalf of each fund, has filed with the National Futures Association a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term "commodity pool operator" (CPO) under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission promulgated thereunder, with respect to each fund's operation. Accordingly, each fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a CPO.

<R>Each fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its total assets under normal conditions; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to options.</R>

The above limitations on the funds' investments in futures contracts and options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options discussed elsewhere in this SAI may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.

Liquidity of Options and Futures Contracts. There is no assurance a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible to enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions, and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result, a fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures positions could also be impaired.

Options and Futures Relating to Foreign Currencies. Currency futures contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the right to sell the underlying currency.

The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. A fund may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write currency options to increase or decrease its exposure to different foreign currencies. Currency options may also be purchased or written in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that affect the value of a fund's investments. A currency hedge, for example, should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly over time.

OTC Options. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and strike price, the terms of OTC options (options not traded on exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows the purchaser or writer greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally are less liquid and involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are traded.

Purchasing Put and Call Options. By purchasing a put option, the purchaser obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the purchaser pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium). Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. The purchaser may terminate its position in a put option by allowing it to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire, the purchaser will lose the entire premium. If the option is exercised, the purchaser completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike price. A purchaser may also terminate a put option position by closing it out in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market exists.

The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium, plus related transaction costs).

The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to offset the cost of the option.

Writing Put and Call Options. The writer of a put or call option takes the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In return for receipt of the premium, the writer assumes the obligation to pay the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party to the option chooses to exercise it. The writer may seek to terminate a position in a put option before exercise by closing out the option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary market is not liquid for a put option, however, the writer must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option is outstanding, regardless of price changes. When writing an option on a futures contract, a fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as described above for futures contracts.

If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit, although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.

Writing a call option obligates the writer to sell or deliver the option's underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security price increases.

Swap Agreements can be individually negotiated and structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates (in the United States or abroad), foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many different forms and are known by a variety of names.

In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate exceeds an agreed-upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate falls below an agreed-upon level. An interest rate collar combines elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.

Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one type of investment to another. For example, if the fund agreed to exchange payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of a fund's investments and its share price and yield.

Swap agreements also may allow a fund to acquire or reduce credit exposure to a particular issuer. The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the change in the factors that determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap agreement calls for payments by the fund, the fund must be prepared to make such payments when due. If a swap counterparty's creditworthiness declines, the risk that they may not perform may increase, potentially resulting in a loss to the fund. Although there can be no assurance that the fund will be able to do so, the fund may be able to reduce or eliminate its exposure under a swap agreement either by assignment or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Indexed Securities are instruments whose prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices, currencies, or other financial indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.

Mortgage-indexed securities, for example, could be structured to replicate the performance of mortgage securities and the characteristics of direct ownership.

Currency-indexed securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities. Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency. Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the United States and abroad. Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments. Indexed securities are also subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates. Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and certain U.S. Government agencies.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost of bank loans, and will lend through the program only when the returns are higher than those available from an investment in repurchase agreements. Interfund loans and borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or additional borrowing costs.

<R></R>Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Investment-grade debt securities include all types of debt instruments that are of medium and high-quality. Investment-grade debt securities include repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government securities as well as repurchase agreements collateralized by equity securities, non-investment-grade debt, and all other instruments in which a fund can perfect a security interest, provided the repurchase agreement counterparty has an investment-grade rating. Some investment-grade debt securities may possess speculative characteristics and may be more sensitive to economic changes and to changes in the financial conditions of issuers. An investment-grade rating means the security or issuer is rated investment-grade by Moody's® Investors Service, Standard & Poor's® (S&P®), Fitch Inc., Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited, or another credit rating agency designated as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (NRSRO) by the SEC, or is unrated but considered to be of equivalent quality by FMR.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Direct debt instruments are interests in amounts owed by a corporate, governmental, or other borrower to lenders or lending syndicates (loans and loan participations), to suppliers of goods or services (trade claims or other receivables), or to other parties. Direct debt instruments involve a risk of loss in case of default or insolvency of the borrower and may offer less legal protection to the purchaser in the event of fraud or misrepresentation, or there may be a requirement that a fund supply additional cash to a borrower on demand.

Purchasers of loans and other forms of direct indebtedness depend primarily upon the creditworthiness of the borrower for payment of interest and repayment of principal. If scheduled interest or principal payments are not made, the value of the instrument may be adversely affected. Loans that are fully secured provide more protections than an unsecured loan in the event of failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the borrower's obligation, or that the collateral could be liquidated. Indebtedness of borrowers whose creditworthiness is poor involves substantially greater risks and may be highly speculative. Borrowers that are in bankruptcy or restructuring may never pay off their indebtedness, or may pay only a small fraction of the amount owed. Direct indebtedness of developing countries also involves a risk that the governmental entities responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable, or unwilling, to pay interest and repay principal when due.

Investments in loans through direct assignment of a financial institution's interests with respect to a loan may involve additional risks. For example, if a loan is foreclosed, the purchaser could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. In addition, it is conceivable that under emerging legal theories of lender liability, a purchaser could be held liable as a co-lender. Direct debt instruments may also involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other intermediary.

A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, the purchaser has direct recourse against the borrower, the purchaser may have to rely on the agent to apply appropriate credit remedies against a borrower. If assets held by the agent for the benefit of a purchaser were determined to be subject to the claims of the agent's general creditors, the purchaser might incur certain costs and delays in realizing payment on the loan or loan participation and could suffer a loss of principal or interest.

Direct indebtedness may include letters of credit, revolving credit facilities, or other standby financing commitments that obligate purchasers to make additional cash payments on demand. These commitments may have the effect of requiring a purchaser to increase its investment in a borrower at a time when it would not otherwise have done so, even if the borrower's condition makes it unlikely that the amount will ever be repaid.

Each fund limits the amount of total assets that it will invest in any one issuer or in issuers within the same industry (see each fund's investment limitations). For purposes of these limitations, a fund generally will treat the borrower as the "issuer" of indebtedness held by the fund. In the case of loan participations where a bank or other lending institution serves as financial intermediary between a fund and the borrower, if the participation does not shift to the fund the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the borrower, SEC interpretations require a fund, in appropriate circumstances, to treat both the lending bank or other lending institution and the borrower as "issuers" for these purposes. Treating a financial intermediary as an issuer of indebtedness may restrict a fund's ability to invest in indebtedness related to a single financial intermediary, or a group of intermediaries engaged in the same industry, even if the underlying borrowers represent many different companies and industries.

Lower-Quality Debt Securities. Lower-quality debt securities include all types of debt instruments that have poor protection with respect to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-quality debt securities may fluctuate more than those of higher-quality debt securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates.

The market for lower-quality debt securities may be thinner and less active than that for higher-quality debt securities, which can adversely affect the prices at which the former are sold. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the liquidity of lower-quality debt securities and the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-quality debt securities.

Because the risk of default is higher for lower-quality debt securities, FMR's research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing securities of this type. FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience and managerial strength of the issuer.

A fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this to be in the best interest of the fund's shareholders.

Mortgage Securities are issued by government and non-government entities such as banks, mortgage lenders, or other institutions. A mortgage security is an obligation of the issuer backed by a mortgage or pool of mortgages or a direct interest in an underlying pool of mortgages. Some mortgage securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (or "CMOs"), make payments of both principal and interest at a range of specified intervals; others make semiannual interest payments at a predetermined rate and repay principal at maturity (like a typical bond). Mortgage securities are based on different types of mortgages, including those on commercial real estate or residential properties. Stripped mortgage securities are created when the interest and principal components of a mortgage security are separated and sold as individual securities. In the case of a stripped mortgage security, the holder of the "principal-only" security (PO) receives the principal payments made by the underlying mortgage, while the holder of the "interest-only" security (IO) receives interest payments from the same underlying mortgage.

<R></R>Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are pass-through securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which guarantee payment of interest and repayment of principal on Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs, respectively, are federally chartered corporations supervised by the U.S. Government that act as governmental instrumentalities under authority granted by Congress. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet their obligations. Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

The value of mortgage securities may change due to shifts in the market's perception of issuers and changes in interest rates. In addition, regulatory or tax changes may adversely affect the mortgage securities market as a whole. Non-government mortgage securities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater price changes than government issues. Mortgage securities are subject to prepayment risk, which is the risk that early principal payments made on the underlying mortgages, usually in response to a reduction in interest rates, will result in the return of principal to the investor, causing it to be invested subsequently at a lower current interest rate. Alternatively, in a rising interest rate environment, mortgage security values may be adversely affected when prepayments on underlying mortgages do not occur as anticipated, resulting in the extension of the security's effective maturity and the related increase in interest rate sensitivity of a longer-term instrument. The prices of stripped mortgage securities tend to be more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than those of non-stripped mortgage securities.

To earn additional income for a fund, FMR may use a trading strategy that involves selling (or buying) mortgage securities and simultaneously agreeing to purchase (or sell) mortgage securities on a later date at a set price. This trading strategy may increase interest rate exposure and result in an increased portfolio turnover rate which increases costs and may increase taxable gains.

Preferred Stock represents an equity or ownership interest in an issuer that pays dividends at a specified rate and that has precedence over common stock in the payment of dividends. In the event an issuer is liquidated or declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of bonds take precedence over the claims of those who own preferred and common stock.

Real Estate Investment Trusts. Equity real estate investment trusts own real estate properties, while mortgage real estate investment trusts make construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans. Their value may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes, interest rates, and tax and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to the environment. Both types of trusts are dependent upon management skill, are not diversified, and are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, and the possibility of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities Lending. A fund may lend securities to parties such as broker-dealers or other institutions, including Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (FBS LLC). FBS LLC is a member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and an indirect subsidiary of FMR Corp.

Securities lending allows a fund to retain ownership of the securities loaned and, at the same time, earn additional income. The borrower provides the fund with collateral in an amount at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. The fund maintains the ability to obtain the right to vote or consent on proxy proposals involving material events affecting securities loaned. 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. These delays and costs could be greater for foreign securities. If a fund is not able to recover the securities loaned, a fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market. The value of the collateral could decrease below the value of the replacement investment by the time the replacement investment is purchased. Loans will be made only to parties deemed by FMR to be in good standing and when, in FMR's judgment, the income earned would justify the risks.

Cash received as collateral through loan transactions may be invested in other eligible securities, including shares of a money market fund. Investing this cash subjects that investment, as well as the securities loaned, to market appreciation or depreciation.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their net asset value per share (NAV). Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Short Sales "Against the Box" are short sales of securities that a fund owns or has the right to obtain (equivalent in kind or amount to the securities sold short). If a fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.

Short Sales. Stocks underlying a fund's convertible security holdings can be sold short. For example, if FMR anticipates a decline in the price of the stock underlying a convertible security held by a fund, it may sell the stock short. If the stock price subsequently declines, the proceeds of the short sale could be expected to offset all or a portion of the effect of the stock's decline on the value of the convertible security. Each fund currently intends to hedge no more than 15% of its total assets with short sales on equity securities underlying its convertible security holdings under normal circumstances.

A fund will be required to set aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to those sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will be required to hold them aside while the short sale is outstanding. A fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales.

Sovereign Debt Obligations are issued or guaranteed by foreign governments or their agencies, including debt of Latin American nations or other developing countries. Sovereign debt may be in the form of conventional securities or other types of debt instruments such as loans or loan participations. Sovereign debt of developing countries may involve a high degree of risk, and may be in default or present the risk of default. Governmental entities responsible for repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal and pay interest when due, and may require renegotiation or rescheduling of debt payments. In addition, prospects for repayment of principal and payment of interest may depend on political as well as economic factors. Although some sovereign debt, such as Brady Bonds, is collateralized by U.S. Government securities, repayment of principal and payment of interest is not guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Temporary Defensive Policies. Each fund reserves the right to invest without limitation in preferred stocks and investment-grade debt instruments for temporary, defensive purposes.

Warrants. Warrants are instruments which entitle the holder to buy an equity security at a specific price for a specific period of time. Changes in the value of a warrant do not necessarily correspond to changes in the value of its underlying security. The price of a warrant may be more volatile than the price of its underlying security, and a warrant may offer greater potential for capital appreciation as well as capital loss.

Warrants do not entitle a holder to dividends or voting rights with respect to the underlying security and do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuing company. A warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. These factors can make warrants more speculative than other types of investments.

Zero Coupon Bonds do not make interest payments; instead, they are sold at a discount from their face value and are redeemed at face value when they mature. Because zero coupon bonds do not pay current income, their prices can be more volatile than other types of fixed-income securities when interest rates change. In calculating a fund's dividend, a portion of the difference between a zero coupon bond's purchase price and its face value is considered income.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CANADA

Political. Canada's parliamentary system of government is, in general, stable. However, from time to time, some provinces, but particularly Quebec, have called for a revamping of the legal and financial relationship between the federal government in Ottawa and the provinces. To date, referendums on Quebec sovereignty have been defeated, but the issue remains unresolved. The Supreme Court of Canada decided in August 1998 that if there was a "clear answer" to a "clear question" in a referendum, then the federal government would be obliged to negotiate with Quebec.

Economic. Canada is a major producer of commodities such as forest products, metals, agricultural products, and energy related products like oil, gas, and hydroelectricity. Accordingly, changes in the supply and demand of industrial and basic materials, both domestically and internationally, can have a significant effect on Canadian market performance.

In addition, Canada relies considerably on the health of the United States' economy, its biggest trading partner and largest foreign investor. The expanding economic and financial integration of the United States and Canada will likely make the Canadian economy and securities market increasingly sensitive to U.S. economic and market events.

<R></R>Currency. Since Canada let its currency float in 1970, its value has trended down against the U.S. dollar. While the decline has helped Canada stay competitive in export markets, U.S. investors have often seen their investment returns eroded by the impact of currency conversion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING EUROPE

On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen member countries of the European Union (EU) fixed their currencies irrevocably to the euro, the new unit of currency of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). At that time each member's currency was converted at a fixed rate to the euro. Initially, use of the euro was confined mainly to the wholesale financial markets, while its widespread use in the retail sector followed with the circulation of euro banknotes and coins on January 1, 2002. At that time, the national banknotes and coins of participating member countries ceased to be legal tender. In addition to adopting a single currency, member countries no longer controlled their own monetary policies. Instead, the authority to direct monetary policy is exercised by the new European Central Bank. On June 19, 2000, Greece's application for membership in the EMU was accepted by the EU Council of Ministers. This action expanded the number of members of the EU's single currency area from eleven to twelve, effective January 1, 2001.

<R>While economic and monetary convergence in the EU may offer new opportunities for those investing in the region, investors should be aware that the success of the union is not wholly assured. Europe must grapple with a number of challenges, any one of which could threaten the survival of this monumental undertaking. Twelve disparate economies must adjust to a unified monetary system, the absence of exchange rate flexibility, and the loss of economic sovereignty. The Continent's economies are diverse, its governments decentralized, and its cultures differ widely. Unemployment is historically high and could pose political risk. One or more member countries might exit the union, placing the currency and banking system in jeopardy. In September 2000, Danish voters rejected membership in the single European currency, as did Swedish voters in September of 2003. The results of these votes has likely set back the plans of the Prime Minister of The United Kingdom to place a similar referendum on euro membership before its voters. Similarly, the Danish and Swedish votes have been seen as giving a boost to the growing numbers of citizens of euro-zone countries who have grown disaffected with the new currency.</R>

<R></R>Political. On May 1, 2004, ten new Member States will enlarge the EU's membership bringing the total number of member nations to twenty five. For these countries, the prospects for eventual membership serve as a strong political impetus to employ tight fiscal and monetary policies. Nevertheless, eight of the new entrants are former Soviet satellites and remain burdened to various extents by the inherited inefficiencies of centrally planned economies similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union.

<R>At the same time, there could become an increasingly widening gap between rich and poor within the EU's member countries, and particularly among the ten new members that have not met the requirements for joining the EMU. Realigning traditional alliances could alter trading relationships and potentially provoke divisive socioeconomic splits. Despite relative calm in Western Europe in recent years, the risk of regional conflict or targeted terrorist activity could disrupt European markets.</R>

In the transition to the single economic system, significant political decisions will be made which will effect the market regulation, subsidization, and privatization across all industries, from agricultural products to telecommunications.

<R></R>Economic. As economic conditions across member states vary from robust to dismal, there is continued concern about national-level support for the currency and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among the twelve EMU member nations. According to the Maastricht treaty, member countries must maintain inflation below 3.3%, public debt below 60% of GDP, and a deficit of 3% or less of GDP to qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements severely limit member countries' ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions. Countries that did not qualify for the euro risk being left farther behind.

Foreign Trade. The EU has recently been involved in a number of trade disputes with major trading partners, including the United States. Tariffs and embargoes have been levied upon imports of agricultural products and meat that have resulted in the affected nation levying retaliatory tariffs upon imports from Europe. These disputes can adversely affect the valuations of the European companies that export the targeted products.

<R></R>Currency. Investing in euro-denominated securities entails risk of being exposed to a new currency that may not fully reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the disparate economies that make up the EU. This has been the case in years 1999 through 2002 inclusive, when the initial exchange rates of the euro versus many of the world's major currencies steadily declined. In this environment, U.S. and other foreign investors experienced erosion of their investment returns in the region. In addition, many European countries rely heavily upon export dependent businesses and any strength in the exchange rate between the euro and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Nordic Countries. Faced with stronger global competition, the Nordic countries - Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden - have had to scale down their historically generous welfare programs, resulting in drops in domestic demand and increased unemployment. Major industries in the region, such as forestry, agriculture, and oil, are heavily resource-dependent and face pressure as a result of high labor costs. Pension reform, union regulation, and further cuts in liberal social programs will likely need to be addressed as the Nordic countries face increased international competition.

Eastern Europe. Investing in the securities of Eastern European issuers is highly speculative and involves risks not usually associated with investing in the more developed markets of Western Europe.

The economies of the Eastern European nations are embarking on the transition from communism at different paces with appropriately different characteristics. Most Eastern European markets suffer from thin trading activity, dubious investor protections, and often, a dearth of reliable corporate information. Information and transaction costs, differential taxes, and sometimes political or transfer risk give a comparative advantage to the domestic investor rather than the foreign investor. In addition, these markets are particularly sensitive to political, economic, and currency events in Russia and have recently suffered heavy losses as a result of their trading and investment links to the troubled Russian economy and currency.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING JAPAN

Fueled by public investment, protectionist trade policies, and innovative management styles, the Japanese economy has transformed itself since World War II into the world's second largest economy. Despite its impressive history, investors face special risks when investing in Japan.

<R></R>Economic. Since Japan's bubble economy collapsed, the nation has drifted between modest growth and recession. By mid-year 1998, the world's second largest economy had slipped into its deepest recession since World War II. Much of the blame can be placed on government inaction in implementing long-neglected structural reforms despite strong and persistent prodding from the International Monetary Fund and the G7 member nations. Steps have been taken to deregulate and liberalize protected areas of the economy, but the pace of change has been disappointedly slow.

The most pressing need for action is the daunting task of overhauling the nation's financial institutions and securing public support for taxpayer-funded bailouts. Banks, in particular, must dispose of their huge overhang of bad loans and trim their balance sheets in preparation for greater competition from foreign institutions as more areas of the financial sector are opened. Successful financial sector reform would allow Japan's financial institutions to act as a catalyst for economic recovery at home and across the troubled Asian region.

Foreign Trade. Much of Japan's economy is dependent upon international trade. The country is a leading exporter of automobiles and industrial machinery as well as industrial and consumer electronics. While the United States is Japan's largest single trading partner, close to half of Japan's trade is conducted with developing nations, almost all of which are in Southeast Asia. For the past five years, Southeast Asia's economies have been mired in economic stagnation causing a steep decline in Japan's exports to the area. Japan's hope for economic recovery and renewed export growth is largely dependent upon the pace of economic recovery in Southeast Asia.

Natural Resource Dependency. An island nation with limited natural resources, Japan is also heavily dependent upon imports of essential products such as oil, forest products, and industrial metals. Accordingly, Japan's industrial sector and domestic economy are highly sensitive to fluctuations in international commodity prices. In addition, many of these commodities are traded in U.S. dollars and any strength in the exchange rate between the yen and the dollar can have either a positive or a negative effect upon corporate profits.

Natural Disasters. The Japanese islands have been subjected to periodic natural disasters including earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the nation's populace and industries.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING ASIA PACIFIC REGION (EX JAPAN)

Many countries in the region have historically faced political uncertainty, corruption, military intervention, and social unrest. Examples include the ethnic, sectarian, and separatist violence found in Indonesia, and the nuclear arms threats between India and Pakistan. To the extent that such events continue in the future, they can be expected to have a negative effect on economic and securities market conditions in the region.

Economic. The economic health of the region depends, in great part, on each country's respective ability to carry out fiscal and monetary reforms and its ability to address the International Monetary Fund's mandated benchmarks. The majority of the countries in the region can be characterized as either developing or newly industrialized economies, which tend to experience more volatile economic cycles than developed countries. In addition, a number of countries in the region have historically faced hyperinflation, a deterrent to productivity and economic growth.

Currency. Some countries in the region may impose restrictions on converting local currency, effectively preventing foreigners from selling assets and repatriating funds. While flexible exchange rates through most of the region should allow greater control of domestic liquidity conditions, the region's currencies generally face above-average volatility with potentially negative implications for economic and security market conditions.

Natural Disasters. The Asia Pacific region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters such as earthquakes, monsoons, and tidal waves. These events have often inflicted substantial economic disruption upon the populace and industry of the countries in that region.

China Region. As with all transition economies, China's ability to develop and sustain a credible legal, regulatory, monetary, and socioeconomic system could influence the course of outside investment. Hong Kong is closely tied to China, economically and through China's 1997 acquisition of the country as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR). Hong Kong's success depends, in large part, on its ability to retain the legal, financial, and monetary systems that allow economic freedom and market expansion.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING LATIN AMERICA

<R>As an emerging market, Latin America has long suffered from political, economic, and social instability. For investors, this has meant additional risk caused by periods of regional conflict, political corruption, totalitarianism, protectionist measures, nationalization, hyperinflation, debt crises, and currency devaluation. However, much has changed in the past decade. Democracy is beginning to become well established in some countries. A move to a more mature and accountable political environment is well under way. Domestic economies have been deregulated, privatization of state-owned companies is almost completed and foreign trade restrictions have been relaxed. Nonetheless, the volatile stock markets of the past five years have clearly demonstrated that investors in the region continue to face a number of potential risks.</R>

Political. While investors recently have benefited from friendlier forms of government, the Latin American political climate is still vulnerable to sudden changes. Many countries in the region have been in recession and have faced high unemployment. Corruption remains part of the political landscape. This could lead to social unrest and changes in governments that are less favorable to investors. The investor friendly trends of social, economic, and market reforms seen over the past several years could be reversed.

<R></R>Social Unrest. Latin America continues to suffer from one of the most inequitable distributions of wealth in the world, as well as rampant delinquency and street crime. Recent reforms and the move to democracy, which were initially welcomed by the population, so far have been slow to significantly improve the living conditions of the majority of people. This has recently led to social unrest, occasional labor strikes, rebellion, or civil war.

<R></R>Economic. Latin America is suffering its worst economic performance in nearly two decades. The real GDP for the region is in steep decline, with most of the region's economies mired in severe and prolonged recessions. Adding to the region's problems; the recent global economic slowdown and the weakening of many commodity prices have had a negative impact on exports from the entire region. In addition, many countries in the region have historically experienced periods of hyperinflation which adversely impacted their economies and local stock markets. Despite signs that inflation has been tamed, the risk of hyperinflation persists.

<R></R>Foreign Trade. One key to the recent economic growth in the region has been the reduction of trade barriers and a series of free-trade agreements. These are currently under pressure given the recent macro-economic imbalances between many trading partners. One example would be Mercosur, which includes Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. As long as the economies perform well and the regimes maintain similar economic and currency policies, all will likely benefit from this agreement. However, the recent devaluation of Brazil's and Argentina's currency, combined with recessions in the region, has created tension between the area's largest trading partners. This could threaten the pace of vital trade integration and regional economic stability.

<R></R>Currency. As is typical of emerging markets, Latin America has a long history of currency devaluation, evidenced by the Mexican peso crisis and the more recent Brazilian and Argentinian devaluations. The region remains exposed to currency speculators, particularly if the economic or political conditions worsen. Accordingly, U.S. investors should be aware that holding a capital asset denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, exposed their investment to exchange rate risk.

<R></R>Sovereign Debt. Argentina's recent bankruptcy and the spreading financial turmoil in its neighboring countries are just the latest chapters in Latin America's long history of foreign debt and default. Almost all of the region's economies have become highly dependent upon foreign credit and loans from external sources to fuel their state-sponsored economic plans. Government profligacy and ill conceived plans for modernization have exhausted these resources with little benefit accruing to the economy and most countries have been forced to restructure their loans or risk default on their debt obligations. In addition, interest on the debt is subject to market conditions and may reach levels that would impair economic activity and create a difficult and costly environment for borrowers. Accordingly, these governments may be forced to reschedule or freeze their debt repayment, which could negatively impact the stock market.

Natural Resources Dependency. Commodities such as agricultural products, minerals, and metals account for a significant percentage of exports of many Latin American countries. As a result, these economies have been particularly sensitive to the fluctuation of commodity prices. As an example, Chile has been affected by the change in the prices of copper and pulp, which has adversely affected its economy and stock market. Similarly, because the U.S. is Mexico's largest trading partner - accounting for more than four-fifths of its exports - any economic downturn in the U.S. economy could adversely impact the Mexican economy and stock market.

Natural Disasters. The region has been subjected to periodic natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. These events have often inflicted substantial damage upon the populations and the economy. More recently, weather disorders attributed to the "El Nino" effect have placed a serious drag on the economy of some countries, such as Peru and Ecuador.

<R></R>Financial Reporting Standards. Local rules governing local financial reporting have become more strict in recent years and many companies have gained listing on the NYSE or National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (NASDAQ®) which requires compliance with U.S. reporting standards. Nevertheless, rules for disclosing financial information by companies listed on local exchanges are less stringent than those of the U.S., which increases the difficulty of accessing reliable and viable information.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING RUSSIA

Investing in Russian securities is highly speculative and involves greater risks than generally encountered when investing in the securities markets of the U.S. and most other developed countries. Over the past century, Russia has experienced political and economic turbulence and has endured decades of communist rule under which tens of millions of its citizens were collectivized into state agricultural and industrial enterprises. For most of the past decade, Russia's government has been faced with the daunting task of stabilizing its domestic economy, while transforming it into a modern and efficient structure able to compete in international markets and respond to the needs of its citizens. However, to date, many of the country's economic reform initiatives have floundered as the proceeds of IMF and other economic assistance have been squandered or stolen. In this environment, there is always the risk that the nation's government will abandon the current program of economic reform and replace it with radically different political and economic policies that would be detrimental to the interests of foreign investors. This could entail a return to a centrally planned economy and nationalization of private enterprises similar to what existed under the old Soviet Union. As recently as 1998, the government imposed a moratorium on the repayment of its international debt and the restructuring of the repayment terms.

Foreign investors also face a high degree of currency risk when investing in Russian securities. In a surprise move in August 1998, Russia devalued the ruble, defaulted on short-term domestic bonds, and declared a moratorium on commercial debt payments. In light of these and other recent government actions, foreign investors face the possibility of further devaluations. In addition, there is the risk the government may impose capital controls on foreign portfolio investments in the event of extreme financial or political crisis. Such capital controls would prevent the sale of a portfolio of foreign assets and the repatriation of proceeds.

Many of Russia's businesses have failed to mobilize the available factors of production because the country's privatization program virtually ensured the predominance of the old management teams that are largely non-market-oriented in their management approach. A combination of poor accounting standards, inept management, endemic corruption, and limited shareholder rights pose a significant risk, particularly to foreign investors.

Compared to most national stock markets, the Russian securities market suffers from a variety of problems not encountered in more developed markets. Among these are thin trading activity, inadequate regulatory protection for the rights of investors, and lax custody procedures. Additionally, there is a dearth of solid corporate information available to investors.

The Russian economy is heavily dependent upon the export of a range of commodities including most industrial metals, forestry products, oil, and gas. Accordingly, it is strongly affected by international commodity prices and is particularly vulnerable to any weakening in global demand for these products.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING AFRICA

Africa is a highly diverse and politically unstable continent of over 50 countries and 840 million people. Civil wars, coups, and even genocidal warfare have beset much of this region in recent years. Nevertheless, the continent is home to an abundance of natural resources, including natural gas, aluminum, crude oil, copper, iron, bauxite, cotton, diamonds, and timber. Wealthier African countries generally have strong connections to European partners; evidence of these relationships is seen in the growing market capitalization and foreign investment. Economic performance remains closely tied to world commodity markets, particularly oil, as well as agricultural conditions, such as drought.

Several Northern African countries have substantial oil reserves and, accordingly, their economies react strongly to world oil prices. They share a regional and sometimes religious identification with the oil producing nations of the Middle East and can be strongly affected by political and economic developments in those countries. As in the south, weather conditions have a strong impact on many of their natural resources, as was the case in 1995, when severe drought adversely affected economic growth.

Several African countries have active equity markets, many established since 1989. The oldest market, in Egypt, was established in 1883, while the youngest, in Zambia, was established in 1994. The mean age for all equity markets is 40 years old. A total of 2,334 firms are listed on the respective exchanges. With the exception of the relatively large and liquid South African stock market, sub-Saharan Africa is probably the riskiest of all the world's emerging markets.

During the past two decades, sub-Saharan Africa has lagged behind other developing regions in economic growth. The area attracts only a modest share of foreign direct investment and remains highly dependent on foreign aid. The financial markets are small and underdeveloped and offer little regulatory protection for investors. Except for South Africa, the most fundamental problem in all of the countries in the region is the absence of an effective court system to ensure the enforceability of contracts. Investors in the area generally face a high risk of continuing political and economic instability as well as currency exchange rate volatility.

South Africa. South Africa has a highly developed and industrialized economy. It is rich in mineral resources and is the world's largest producer and exporter of gold. The nation's new government has made remarkable progress in consolidating the nation's peaceful transition to democracy and in redressing the socioeconomic disparities created by apartheid. It has a sophisticated financial structure with a large and active stock exchange that ranks 20th in the world in terms of market capitalization. Nevertheless, investors in South Africa face a number of risks common to other developing regions. The nation's heavy dependence upon the export of natural resources makes its economy and stock market vulnerable to weak global demand and declines in commodity prices. The country's currency reserves have been a constant problem and its currency can be vulnerable to devaluation. There is also the risk that ethnic and civic conflict could result in the abandonment of many of the nation's free market reforms to the detriment of shareholders.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

For futures transactions, the selection of an FCM is generally based on the overall quality of execution and other services, including research, provided by the FCM.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both OTC securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network (ECN) or an alternative trading system.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Generally, compensation relating to investments traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than for investments traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.

Futures transactions are executed and cleared through FCMs who receive compensation for their services.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the funds. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor a fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of compensation or otherwise.

Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for a fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing a fund to pay such higher compensation, FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

<R>FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), provided it determines that this affiliate's products, services, and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms. FMR may also place trades with Archipelago ECN (Archipelago), an ECN in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. has an equity ownership interest, if the compensation is fair, reasonable, and comparable to compensation charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for similar services. Prior to January 1, 2002, FMR placed trades with Fidelity Brokerage Services (Japan) LLC (FBSJ), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. Prior to September 20, 2002, FMR placed trades with REDIBook ECN LLC (REDIBook), in which a wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR Corp. had an equity ownership interest.</R>

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR) who have entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

<R>For the fiscal periods ended</R> December 31, 2003 and 2002, the portfolio turnover rates for each fund are presented in the table below. Variations in turnover rate may be due to a fluctuating volume of shareholder purchase and redemption orders, market conditions, or changes in FMR's investment outlook.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the funds could purchase in the underwritings.

<R>From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the funds of some portion of the compensation paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and advisable. The Trustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.</R>

Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts (including proprietary accounts) managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

<R>When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, including a futures contract, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.</R>

VALUATION

Each class's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each class is computed by adding the class's pro rata share of the value of the applicable fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting the class's pro rata share of the applicable fund's liabilities, subtracting the liabilities allocated to the class, and dividing the result by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding.

<R>Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is the United States are valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are valued using the official closing price or 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. Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.</R>

Debt securities and other assets for which market quotations are readily available may be valued at market values determined by such securities' most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which they normally are traded, as furnished by recognized dealers in such securities or assets. Or, debt securities and convertible securities may be valued on the basis of information furnished by a pricing service that uses a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of Trustees. A number of pricing services are available, and the funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Futures contracts and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available.

Independent brokers or quotation services provide prices of foreign securities in their local currency. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC) gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the value of foreign securities from their local currencies into U.S. dollars. Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of NAV. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security is traded, then that security will be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.

Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which market quotations and information furnished by a pricing service are not readily available are valued either at amortized cost or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current value.

<R>The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of the securities owned by a fund if, in the opinion of a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method would more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. For example, securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market value may be valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. In making a good faith determination of the value of a security, the committee may review price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading.</R>

<R>BUYING AND SELLING INFORMATION</R>

Under certain circumstances (for example, at the request of a shareholder), a fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each class's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

The following information is only a summary of some of the tax consequences affecting insurance company separate accounts invested in the funds. No attempt has been made to discuss tax consequences affecting variable product owners. Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.

Each fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to insurance company separate accounts invested in the fund. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies. If a fund failed to qualify as a "regulated investment company" in any year, among other consequences, each insurance company separate account invested in the fund would fail to satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Each fund also intends to satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. These diversification requirements, which are in addition to the diversification requirements of Subchapter M, place certain limitations on the assets of an insurance company separate account that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer or a certain number of issuers. Because Section 817(h) and the regulations thereunder treat the assets of each fund as the assets of the related insurance company separate account, each fund must also satisfy these requirements. If a fund failed to satisfy these requirements, a variable annuity or variable life insurance product supported by an insurance company separate account invested in the fund would not be treated as an annuity or as life insurance for tax purposes and would no longer be eligible for tax deferral.

Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and interest earned by a fund with respect to foreign securities. Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or gains with respect to foreign securities. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50% of a fund's total assets is invested in securities of foreign issuers, the fund may elect to pass through eligible foreign taxes paid and thereby allow shareholders to take a deduction or, if they meet certain holding period requirements with respect to fund shares, a credit on their tax returns.

<R>As of </R>December 31<R>, 2003, VIP Contrafund had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $1,251,202,000. This loss carryforward, of which $587,643,000 and $663,559,000 will expire on </R>December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.

<R>As of December 31, 2003, VIP Growth had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $4,332,499,000. This loss carryforward, of which $2,090,079,000, $2,197,712,000 and $44,708,000 will expire on December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively, is available to offset future capital gains.</R>

<R>As of December 31, 2003, VIP Overseas had an aggregate capital loss carryforward of approximately $606,700,000.

Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees,<R> each</R> fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has <R>10</R> standing committees.

<R>The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as Chair. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the non-interested Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding transfer agent and other service agreements, insurance coverage, and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically in the scope of the charters of the Audit Committee or Fund Oversight Committees and considers other operating matters not specifically within the scope of oversight of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 12 meetings.</R>

<R>The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as Chair. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and their classification as liquid or illiquid and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, and Fidelity funds' investment in, non-traditional securities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held four meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chair), Kirk, and Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chair) and Cox and Ms. Knowles), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (Chair), Gates, and Heilmeier). Each committee normally meets monthly (except August) or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and develops an understanding of and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters and the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The non-interested Trustees of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. Prior to December 2003, the Fixed-Income and International Committee was known as the Fixed-Income/International Committee, and the Select and Special Committee was known as the Select Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Equity Committee held 10 meetings, the Fixed-Income and International Committee held 11 meetings, and the Select and Special Committee held 10 meetings.</R>

<R>The Board of Trustees established in December 2003 two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (Chair), Cook, and McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (Chair) and Cox, and Ms. Knowles). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the Board of Trustees in its consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, levels, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, each Fund Contract Committee held no meetings.</R>

<R>The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Cox (Chair), Cook, Heilmeier, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees, custody fees, and direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as small account and exchange fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services and fees. Regarding brokerage, the committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees. The committee also oversees and receives reports on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held nine meetings.</R>

<R>The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (Chair), and Messrs. Gates, Kirk, and McCoy. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds' major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 10 meetings.</R>

<R>The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (Chair), Cox, and Gates, each of whom is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The committee has two charters: one addressing fund governance and Board administrative matters and one addressing the nomination for the appointment or election of non-interested Trustees. The committee meets as called by the Chair. The committee also recommends the establishment of committees (including ad hoc and standing committees). The committee is also responsible for other fund governance and board administration matters. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss the Statement of Policies and other matters relating to fund governance. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the non-interested Trustees. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee will have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify non-interested Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve such firm's fees and other retention terms. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the Chair of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the Chair will forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) ability to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the committee held 10 meetings.</R>

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (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 fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of February 28, 2003, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund's total outstanding shares.

<R>A shareholder owning of record or beneficially more than 25% of a fund's outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder's vote could have a more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholders' meeting than votes of other shareholders.</R>

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR, Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East) and FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ) and Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

FMR, FMRC, FMR U.K., FMR Far East, FIJ, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the funds have adopted codesof ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trusts or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses. In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent, and the costs associated with securities lending, each fund or each class thereof, as applicable, pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. Each fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. Each fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of each fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by each fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. Each fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation. Each fund also pays the costs related to the solicitation of fund proxies from variable product owners.

Management Fees. For the services of FMR under the management contract, each fund pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $816 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for December 2003 - was 0.2773%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $816 billion.</R>

VIP Contrafund's, VIP Equity-Income's, VIP Growth's, and VIP Overseas' individual fund fee rates are 0.30%, 0.20%, 0.30%, and 0.45%, respectively. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for December 2003, each fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:

One-twelfth of the management fee rate is applied to each fund's average net assets for the month, giving a dollar amount which is the fee for that month.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a class's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, certain securities lending costs, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a class's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a class will lower its returns and yield.

Sub-Adviser - FMRC. On behalf of each fund, FMR has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with FMRC pursuant to which FMRC has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for each fund.

Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement for each fund, FMR pays FMRC fees equal to 50% of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with each fund. The fees paid to FMRC are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time.

Fees paid to FMRC by FMR on behalf of each fund for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on each fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

<R></R>Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of each fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of each fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of each fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of each fund's assets, (4) the allocation of each fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with each fund's custodians and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with each fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the impact of performance adjustments to management fees, (d) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (e) the composition of peer groups of funds, (f) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (g) investment management staffing, (h) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (i) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (j) the information furnished to investors, including each fund's shareholders.

In considering the Investment Advisory Contracts, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:

Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of each fund's portfolio manager and each fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's equity group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered each fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including each fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of a fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of a fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of a fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to a fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by each fund and each fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each fund.

<R></R>Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be approved.

<R>PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</R>

<R>The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the non-interested Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)</R>

<R>I. General Principles</R>

<R> A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability to the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.</R>

<R> B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.</R>

<R> C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.</R>

<R>II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:</R>

<R> A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.</R>

<R> B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.</R>

<R> C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.</R>

<R> D. Golden Parachutes:</R>

<R> 1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.</R>

<R> 2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.</R>

<R> 3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.</R>

<R> 4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.</R>

<R> E. Supermajority Provisions.</R>

<R> F. Poison Pills:</R>

<R> 1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.</R>

<R> 2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.</R>

<R> 3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.</R>

<R> 4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.</R>

<R> 5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.</R>

<R> G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).</R>

<R> H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.</R>

<R> I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).</R>

<R>III. Stock Option Plans</R>

<R> A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:</R>

<R> 1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.</R>

<R> 2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.</R>

<R> 3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.</R>

<R> 4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.</R>

<R> 5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:</R>

<R> a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.</R>

<R> b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> 6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:</R>

<R> a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;</R>

<R> b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and</R>

<R> c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> 7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.</R>

<R> 8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.</R>

<R> B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;</R>

<R> 3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;</R>

<R> 4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;</R>

<R> 6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R>IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:</R>

<R> A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.</R>

<R> B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.</R>

<R> C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.</R>

<R> D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.</R>

<R> E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:</R>

<R> 1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.</R>

<R> 2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.</R>

<R> G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;</R>

<R> 3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;</R>

<R> 4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R>V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:</R>

<R> A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.</R>

<R> B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

<R> C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.</R>

<R>VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:</R>

<R> A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.</R>

<R> B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)</R>

<R>VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.</R>

<R>VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.</R>

<R>IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.</R>

<R>X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.</R>

<R> A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.</R>

<R>XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.</R>

<R>XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.</R>

<R>XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.</R>

<R>XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.</R>

<R>XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest</R>

<R>Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.</R>

<R>FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:</R>

<R> A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.</R>

<R> B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.</R>

<R> C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.</R>

<R> D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.</R>

<R>XVI. Executive Compensation</R>

<R>FMR will consider withholding authority for the election of directors and voting against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans based on whether the proposals are consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.</R>

<R>XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R>XVIII. Auditors</R>

<R> A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.</R>

<R> B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.</R>

<R>XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R>Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and voted in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under Unites States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the funds, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of Initial Class R and Service Class R of VIP Overseas and Service Class 2 R of each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow Initial Class R, Service Class R, and Service Class 2 R and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute direct or indirect payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

The Rule 12b-1 Plan adopted for Service Class R of VIP Overseas and Service Class 2 R of each fund is described in the prospectus for that class.

* Amounts retained by FDC represent fees paid to FDC but not yet reallowed to intermediaries as of the close of the period reported and fees paid to FDC that are not eligible to be reallowed to intermediaries. Amounts not eligible for reallowance are retained by FDC for use in its capacity as distributor.

<R>Under Initial Class R Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. The Initial Class R Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Initial Class R shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners. In addition, the Initial Class R Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as insurance companies, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Initial Class R shares of VIP Overseas.</R>

<R>Under each Service Class R and Service Class 2 R Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by each Plan. Each Service Class R and Service Class 2 R Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of Service Class R and Service Class 2 R shares and/or support services that benefit variable product owners, including payments of significant amounts made to intermediaries that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for Service Class R and Service Class 2 R shares.</R>

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the applicable class of the fund and variable product owners. In particular, the Trustees noted that the Initial Class R Plan does not authorize payments by Initial Class R of the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of class shares, additional sales of class shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain support services that benefit variable product owners may be provided more effectively under the Plans by insurance companies and their affiliates with whom variable product owners have other relationships.

Each Service Class R and Service Class 2 R Plan does not provide for specific payments by the applicable class of any of the expenses of FDC, or obligate FDC or FMR to perform any specific type or level of distribution activities or incur any specific level of expense in connection with distribution activities.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each class of each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Co., Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the agreements, FIIOC performs transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for each class of each fund.

For providing transfer agency services, FIIOC receives an asset-based fee paid monthly with respect to each account in a fund.

The asset-based fees are subject to adjustment if the year-to-date total return of the S&P 500 exceeds a positive or negative 15%.

FIIOC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FIIOC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

<R>Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Each fund has also entered into a securities lending administration agreement with FSC. Under the terms of the agreements, FSC calculates the NAV and dividends for each class of each fund, maintains each fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and administers each fund's securities lending program.</R>

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

<R>The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for domestic equity funds are 0.0375% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0265% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00180% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee is limited to a minimum of $30,000 per year.</R>

<R>The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for certain international funds are 0.0500% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0400% of average net assets between $500 million and $3.5 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $3.5 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00180% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee is limited to a minimum of $30,000 per year.</R>

<R>In addition, each fund is subject to a multiple class surcharge of 10% of the asset-based fee.</R>

Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, paid by the funds to FSC for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUSTS

Trust Organization.<R> Equity-Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, and Overseas Portfolio are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund, an open-end management investment company created under an initial declaration of trust dated November 13, 1981. Contrafund® Portfolio is a fund of </R>Variable Insurance Products Fund II, an open-end management investment company <R>created under an initial declaration of trust dated March 21, 1988. Currently, there are six funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund: Equity-Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Money Market Portfolio, Overseas Portfolio, and Value Portfolio. Currently, there are five funds offered in Variable Insurance Products Fund II: Asset ManagerSM  Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth® Portfolio, Contrafund Portfolio, Index 500 Portfolio, and Investment Grade Bond Portfolio. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trusts and to create additional classes of the funds.</R>

The assets of each trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each of its funds and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in a trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund, except that liabilities and expenses may be allocated to a particular class. Any general expenses of the respective trusts shall be allocated between or among any one or more of its funds or classes.

Shareholder Liability. Each trust is an entity commonly known as a "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the trust.

Each Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust or fund. Each Declaration of Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. Each Declaration of Trust further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

Each Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. Each Declaration of Trust also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which a fund itself would be unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is remote. Claims asserted against one class of shares may subject holders of another class of shares to certain liabilities.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value they own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

Each trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. Generally, the merger of a trust or a fund or a class with another operating mutual fund or the sale of all or a portion of the assets of a trust or a fund or a class to another operating mutual fund requires approval by a vote of shareholders of the trust or the fund or the class. The Trustees may, however, reorganize or terminate each trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodians. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston, Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of VIP Contrafund. JPMorgan Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of VIP Equity-Income and VIP Overseas. Mellon Bank, N.A., One Mellon Center, 500 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is custodian of the assets of VIP Growth. Each custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies. JPMorgan Chase Bank, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets of VIP Contrafund and VIP Growth in connection with repurchase agreement transactions. The Bank of New York, headquartered in New York, also may serve as a special purpose custodian of certain assets in connection with repurchase agreement transactions.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, Members of the Advisory Board, and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. The Boston branch of VIP Contrafund's custodian leases its office space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into, was consistent with prevailing market rates.

In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Article XI, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Declaration of Trust, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. ("FIIOC") is appointed transfer agent, the Registrant agrees to indemnify and hold FIIOC harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Registrant, including by a shareholder, which names FIIOC and/or the Registrant as a party and is not based on and does not result from FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with FIIOC's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by FIIOC's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties) which results from the negligence of the Registrant, or from FIIOC's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by FIIOC to have been given by counsel for the Registrant, or as a result of FIIOC's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
