Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Growth Stock Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in stocks.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • "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.

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 is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in each class of the fund's performance from year to 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.

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

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. If these fees and expenses were included, overall expenses would be higher. 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 the fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Investment Details

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 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.

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.

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. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund'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 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.

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.

"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.

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.

VIP Growth Stock Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

Shareholder Notice

The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

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

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, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing may be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is stale or is determined for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

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 and insurance dedicated feeder funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager can buy or sell shares of the fund.

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares resulting from purchase, exchange, or withdrawal transactions can harm variable product owners in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term variable product owners by increasing costs paid by the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term variable product owners in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent large-scale purchases and sales of shares at the separate account level, but has not adopted policies at the variable product owner level. Purchase and redemption transactions submitted to the fund by insurance company separate accounts reflect the transactions of multiple variable product owners whose individual transactions are not disclosed to the fund. Therefore, the fund generally cannot detect short-term trading by individual variable product owners and relies in large part on the rights, ability, and willingness of insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading. The fund's policies are separate from, and in addition to, any policies and procedures applicable to variable product owner transactions. The variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus will contain a description of the insurance company's policies and procedures, if any, with respect to short-term trading. However, there is the significant risk that the fund's and insurance company's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.

The fund's transfer agent monitors each separate account's daily purchases and sales orders, which reflect the aggregate and net result of all purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of all variable product owners in that separate account. Redemption transactions that are greater than a certain dollar amount, or greater than a certain percentage of the total of the separate account's holdings of the fund, will trigger a review of the separate account's prior history. If, in the opinion of the fund's transfer agent, the history may be consistent with a pattern of disruptive trading by variable product owners, the fund's transfer agent or distributor will notify the insurance company and inquire about the source of the activity. These policies will be applied uniformly to all insurance companies. However, there is no assurance that the insurance company will investigate the activity or stop any activity that proves to be inappropriate. FMR reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject purchase orders from, or to stop or limit the offering of shares to, insurance company separate accounts. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.

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 for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.

For example, the fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund.

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.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, the 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 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 as well as insurance dedicated feeder funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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, insurance dedicated feeder funds, and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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.

Brian Hanson is manager of VIP Growth Stock Portfolio, which he has managed since December 2002. He also manages another Fidelity fund. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1996, Mr. Hanson has worked as a research analyst and manager.

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Brian Hanson.

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 2004, the group fee rate was 0.27%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, was 0.58% 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.

As of February 28, 2005, approximately 99.66% of the fund's total outstanding shares was held by FMR.

Fund Distribution

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

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC) distributes each class's shares.

The insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers (intermediaries) may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:

  • distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees
  • payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services
  • payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary

These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.

Initial Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 has authorized such payments for Initial Class. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

Service Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 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 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 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 has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class 2 is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 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 of the Service Class and Service Class 2 plans 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 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 of the fund has authorized such payments for Service Class and Service Class 2. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Initial Class, Service Class or Service Class 2 Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a 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.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class's and 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.

The SAI contains further details about the payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another.

In addition, the fund's transfer agent may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services with respect to insurance contract owners' accounts, which the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.

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 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.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Real Estate Portfolio seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk. The fund seeks to provide a yield that exceeds the composite yield of the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index (S&P 500®).

Principal Investment Strategies

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

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments.
  • 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.
  • 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 is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in each class of the fund's performance from year to 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. Each class of the fund also compares its performance to the performance of an additional index 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.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Real Estate Portfolio seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk. The fund seeks to provide a yield that exceeds the composite yield of the S&P 500.

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 principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments. Companies in the real estate industry and real estate related investments may include, for example, real estate investment trusts (REITs) that either own properties or make construction or mortgage loans, real estate developers, companies with substantial real estate holdings, and other companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies.

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.

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. Because FMR concentrates the fund'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. In addition, because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund'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 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.

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.

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.

Fund Basics - continued

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.

VIP Real Estate Portfolio seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk, by investing primarily in the equity securities of companies in the real estate industry. The fund seeks to provide a yield that exceeds the composite yield of the S&P 500.

Shareholder Notice

The following policy is subject to change only upon 60 days' prior notice to shareholders:

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.

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, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing may be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is stale or is determined for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

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 and insurance dedicated feeder funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager can buy or sell shares of the fund.

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares resulting from purchase, exchange, or withdrawal transactions can harm variable product owners in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term variable product owners by increasing costs paid by the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term variable product owners in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent large-scale purchases and sales of shares at the separate account level, but has not adopted policies at the variable product owner level. Purchase and redemption transactions submitted to the fund by insurance company separate accounts reflect the transactions of multiple variable product owners whose individual transactions are not disclosed to the fund. Therefore, the fund generally cannot detect short-term trading by individual variable product owners and relies in large part on the rights, ability, and willingness of insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading. The fund's policies are separate from, and in addition to, any policies and procedures applicable to variable product owner transactions. The variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus will contain a description of the insurance company's policies and procedures, if any, with respect to short-term trading. However, there is the significant risk that the fund's and insurance company's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.

The fund's transfer agent monitors each separate account's daily purchases and sales orders, which reflect the aggregate and net result of all purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of all variable product owners in that separate account. Redemption transactions that are greater than a certain dollar amount, or greater than a certain percentage of the total of the separate account's holdings of the fund, will trigger a review of the separate account's prior history. If, in the opinion of the fund's transfer agent, the history may be consistent with a pattern of disruptive trading by variable product owners, the fund's transfer agent or distributor will notify the insurance company and inquire about the source of the activity. These policies will be applied uniformly to all insurance companies. However, there is no assurance that the insurance company will investigate the activity or stop any activity that proves to be inappropriate. FMR reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject purchase orders from, or to stop or limit the offering of shares to, insurance company separate accounts. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.

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 for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.

For example, the fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund.

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.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, the 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 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 as well as insurance dedicated feeder funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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, insurance dedicated feeder funds, and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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.

As of March 31, 2005, FMR had approximately $9.1 billion in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR has overall responsibility for directing the fund's investments and handling its business affairs.

Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments:

  • Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc. (FMR U.K.), at 25 Lovat Lane, London, EC3R 8LL, England, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund.

FMR U.K. may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States and may also provide investment advisory services for the fund.
  • Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR Far East), at Shiroyama JT Mori Bldg., 4-3-1 Toranomon Minato-ku, Tokyo 105, Japan, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. FMR Far East was organized in 1986 to provide investment research and advice to FMR. FMR Far East may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States and may also provide investment advisory services for the fund.
  • Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), at Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Pembroke HM19, Bermuda, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. As of September 28, 2004, FIIA had approximately $17.9 billion in discretionary assets under management. FIIA may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States for the fund.
  • Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L), at 25 Cannon Street, London, EC4M 5TA, England, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund.

FIIA(U.K.)L may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States for the fund.
  • Fidelity Investments Japan Limited (FIJ), at Shiroyama JT Trust Tower, 3-1, Toranomon 4-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan 105-6019, serves as a sub-adviser for the fund. As of September 28, 2004, FIJ had approximately $42.1 billion in discretionary assets under management. 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 31, 2005, FMRC had approximately $630.1 billion in discretionary assets under management.

Steve Buller is vice president and manager of VIP Real Estate Portfolio, which he has managed since November 2002. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1992, Mr. Buller has worked as a research analyst and manager.

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Steve Buller.

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 2004, the group fee rate was 0.27%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, was 0.57% 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.

The insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers (intermediaries) may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

  • distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees
  • payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services
  • payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary

These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.

Initial Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 has authorized such payments for Initial Class. These payments are not charged to a fund and do not directly increase a fund's total expenses.

Service Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 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 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 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 has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class 2 is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 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 of the Service Class and Service Class 2 plans 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 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 of the fund has authorized such payments for Service Class and Service Class 2. These payments are not charged to a fund and do not directly increase a fund's total expenses.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Initial Class, Service Class, or Service Class 2 Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a 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.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class's and 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.

The SAI contains further details about the payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another.

In addition, the fund's transfer agent may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services with respect to insurance contract owners' accounts, which the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to a fund and do not directly increase a fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.

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 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.

Prior Performance of a Similar Fund

VIP Real Estate Portfolio

FMR began managing VIP Real Estate on November 6, 2002, and its asset size as of March 31, 2005 was approximately $135 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 March 31, 2005 was approximately $4.5 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 each class of VIP Real Estate. Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio has different expenses and is sold through different distribution channels than each 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 each class of VIP Real Estate and is not an indication of the future performance of each class of VIP Real Estate. You should not assume that each class of VIP Real Estate will have the same performance as Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. The performance of each 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 each class of VIP Real Estate and Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. Each 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 Initial Class, Service Class, and Service Class 2 expenses had been applied to the performance of Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio.

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio. The 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. Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio also compares its performance of an additional index 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.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Strategic Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

  • Investing primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities.
  • Allocating the fund's assets among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging markets securities, and foreign developed market securities.
  • Potentially investing in equity securities.
  • Using a neutral mix of approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets.
  • Analyzing a security's structural features and current pricing, its issuer's potential for success, and the credit, currency, and economic risks of the security and its issuer 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, 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.
  • 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 and can be difficult to resell.

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 is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The 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. Each class of the fund also compares its performance to the performance of a combination of market indexes 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.

Investment Details

Investment Objective

VIP Strategic Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR expects to invest the fund's assets primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, allocated among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign developed market securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in equity securities.

The fund's neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of investments in each category over time, is approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets. In normal market environments, FMR expects the fund's asset allocation to approximate the neutral mix within a range of plus or minus 10% of assets per category, although there are no absolute limits on the percent of assets invested in each category. FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually over time to favor investments that it believes provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective. By allocating investments across different types of fixed-income securities, FMR attempts to moderate the significant risks of each category through diversification.

The high yield category includes high-yielding, lower-quality debt securities consisting mainly of U.S. securities. The U.S. Government and investment-grade category includes mortgage securities, U.S. Government securities, and other investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated securities. The emerging market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality if issuers located in emerging markets. The foreign developed market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in developed foreign markets.

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 generally analyzed a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value. In selecting foreign securities, FMR's analysis also considers the credit, currency, and economic risks associated with the security and the country of its issuer. FMR may also consider an issuer's potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

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 and lower quality debt securities by investing in other funds. FMR may invest in a fund managed by an affiliate of FMR that does not pay a management fee and is offered to other Fidelity funds. The investment results of the portion of the fund's assets invested in this other fund will be based upon the investment results of that fund. 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, usually 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, loans and loan participations, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect the fund's performance. The fund's yield and share price change daily based on changes in interest rates and market conditions and in response to other economic, political, or financial developments. The 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 may invest a significant percentage of the fund'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 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.

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. 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.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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.

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.

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.

VIP Strategic Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

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 information furnished by a pricing service or market quotations. Certain short-term securities are valued on the basis of amortized cost. If market quotations 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, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing may be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is stale or is determined for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

Prospectus

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 and insurance dedicated feeder funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager can buy or sell shares of the fund.

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares resulting from purchase, exchange, or withdrawal transactions can harm variable product owners in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term variable product owners by increasing costs paid by the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term variable product owners in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent large-scale purchases and sales of shares at the separate account level, but has not adopted policies at the variable product owner level. Purchase and redemption transactions submitted to the fund by insurance company separate accounts reflect the transactions of multiple variable product owners whose individual transactions are not disclosed to the fund. Therefore, the fund generally cannot detect short-term trading by individual variable product owners and relies in large part on the rights, ability, and willingness of insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading. The fund's policies are separate from, and in addition to, any policies and procedures applicable to variable product owner transactions. The variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus will contain a description of the insurance company's policies and procedures, if any, with respect to short-term trading. However, there is the significant risk that the fund's and insurance company's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.

The fund's transfer agent monitors each separate account's daily purchases and sales orders, which reflect the aggregate and net result of all purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of all variable product owners in that separate account. Redemption transactions that are greater than a certain dollar amount, or greater than a certain percentage of the total of the separate account's holdings of the fund, will trigger a review of the separate account's prior history. If, in the opinion of the fund's transfer agent, the history may be consistent with a pattern of disruptive trading by variable product owners, the fund's transfer agent or distributor will notify the insurance company and inquire about the source of the activity. These policies will be applied uniformly to all insurance companies. However, there is no assurance that the insurance company will investigate the activity or stop any activity that proves to be inappropriate. FMR reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject purchase orders from, or to stop or limit the offering of shares to, insurance company separate accounts. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.

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 for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.

For example, the fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund.

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.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, the 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 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 as well as insurance dedicated feeder funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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, insurance dedicated feeder funds, and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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.

Shareholder Information - continued

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 interest, dividends, 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.

Fund Services - continued

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 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 2004, the group fee rate was 0.12%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.45%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, was 0.57% of the fund's average net assets.

FMR pays FIMM, 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.

The insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers (intermediaries) may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:

  • distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees
  • payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services
  • payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary

These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.

Initial Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 has authorized such payments for Initial Class. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

Service Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 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 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 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 has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class 2 is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 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 of the Service Class and Service Class 2 plans 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 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 of the fund has authorized such payments for Service Class and Service Class 2. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Initial Class, Service Class or Service Class 2 Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a 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.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class's and 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.

Prospectus

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

The SAI contains further details about the payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one class share over another.

In addition, the fund's transfer agent may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services with respect to insurance contract owners' accounts, which the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.

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 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.

Class T of Fidelity Advisor Strategic Income and Fidelity Strategic Income have different expenses and are sold through different distribution channels than each class of VIP Strategic Income. Returns are based on past results and are not an indication of future performance.

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

Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index is a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities. Issues included in the index have maturities of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but are not in default.

Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index is a hypothetical representation of the performance of the fund's four general investment categories according to their respective weighting in the fund's neutral mix (40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% foreign developed markets, and 15% emerging markets). The following indexes are used to represent the fund's investment categories when calculating the composite index: high yield - the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, U.S. Government and investment-grade - the Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index, foreign developed markets - the Citigroup Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - Equally Weighted Unhedged, and emerging markets - the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (J.P. Morgan EMBI Global).

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

VIP Value Leaders Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks of well-known and established companies.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in blue chip companies (companies whose stock is included in the Standard & Poor's 500SM  Index (S&P 500®) or the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM  (DJIASM ), and companies with market capitalizations of at least $1 billion if not included in either index).
  • Investing in securities of companies that it believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry (stocks of these companies are often called "value" stocks).
  • Investing in securities of 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.
  • "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.

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 is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The 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.

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

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. If these fees and expenses were included, overall expenses would be higher. 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 the fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Fund Basics

Investment Details

Investment Objective

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. A company's market capitalization is based on its current market capitalization or its market capitalization at the time of the fund's investment.

FMR invests in securities of companies that it believes are undervalued in the marketplace in relation to factors such as the company's assets, sales, earnings, growth potential, or cash flow, or in relation to securities of other companies in the same industry. FMR considers traditional and other measures of value such as price/book (P/B) ratio, price/sales (P/S) ratio, price/earnings (P/E) ratio, earnings relative to enterprise value (the total value of a company's outstanding equity and debt), and the discounted value of a company's projected future free cash flows. 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; and companies that have enjoyed recent market popularity but which appear to have temporarily fallen out of favor for reasons that are considered non-recurring or short-term.

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.

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. Because FMR may invest a significant percentage of the fund'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 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.

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.

"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.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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.

VIP Value Leaders Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

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, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before the fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing may be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is stale or is determined for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent the fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. The fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While the fund has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

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 and insurance dedicated feeder funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager can buy or sell shares of the fund.

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares resulting from purchase, exchange, or withdrawal transactions can harm variable product owners in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term variable product owners by increasing costs paid by the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term variable product owners in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent large-scale purchases and sales of shares at the separate account level, but has not adopted policies at the variable product owner level. Purchase and redemption transactions submitted to the fund by insurance company separate accounts reflect the transactions of multiple variable product owners whose individual transactions are not disclosed to the fund. Therefore, the fund generally cannot detect short-term trading by individual variable product owners and relies in large part on the rights, ability, and willingness of insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading. The fund's policies are separate from, and in addition to, any policies and procedures applicable to variable product owner transactions. The variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus will contain a description of the insurance company's policies and procedures, if any, with respect to short-term trading. However, there is the significant risk that the fund's and insurance company's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. The fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The fund's Treasurer is authorized to suspend the fund's policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the fund's Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.

The fund's transfer agent monitors each separate account's daily purchases and sales orders, which reflect the aggregate and net result of all purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of all variable product owners in that separate account. Redemption transactions that are greater than a certain dollar amount, or greater than a certain percentage of the total of the separate account's holdings of the fund, will trigger a review of the separate account's prior history. If, in the opinion of the fund's transfer agent, the history may be consistent with a pattern of disruptive trading by variable product owners, the fund's transfer agent or distributor will notify the insurance company and inquire about the source of the activity. These policies will be applied uniformly to all insurance companies. However, there is no assurance that the insurance company will investigate the activity or stop any activity that proves to be inappropriate. FMR reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject purchase orders from, or to stop or limit the offering of shares to, insurance company separate accounts. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.

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 for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.

For example, the fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to the fund.

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.

If appropriate to protect shareholders, the 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 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 as well as insurance dedicated feeder funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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, insurance dedicated feeder funds, and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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.

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

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.

Brian Hogan is manager of VIP Value Leaders Portfolio, which he has managed since its inception in June 2003. He also manages other Fidelity funds. Since joining Fidelity Investments in 1994, Mr. Hogan has worked as a research analyst and manager.

The statement of additional information (SAI) provides additional information about the compensation of, any other accounts managed by, and any fund shares held by Brian Hogan.

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 2004, the group fee rate was 0.27%. The individual fund fee rate is 0.30%.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, was 0.57% 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.

As of February 28, 2005, approximately 99.98% of the fund's total outstanding shares was held by FMR.

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.

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

The insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers (intermediaries) may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:

  • distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees
  • payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services
  • payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary

These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.

Initial Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 has authorized such payments for Initial Class. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

Service Class has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 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 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 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 has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the plan, Service Class 2 is authorized to pay FDC a 12b-1 (service) fee as compensation for providing support services that benefit variable product owners. Service Class 2 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 of the Service Class and Service Class 2 plans 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 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 of the fund has authorized such payments for Service Class and Service Class 2. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under the Initial Class, Service Class or Service Class 2 Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a 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.

Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of Service Class's and 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.

The SAI contains further details about the payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the investment professional charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another.

In addition, the fund's transfer agent may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services with respect to insurance contract owners' accounts, which the fund's transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to the fund and do not directly increase the fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.

If given or made, such other information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the fund or FDC.

Fund Summary

Investment Summary

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.

Investment Objective

VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio seeks to maximize total return by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, short-term instruments, and other investments.

  • Maintaining a neutral mix over time of 70% of assets in stocks, 25% of assets in bonds, and 5% of assets in short-term and money market instruments.
  • Adjusting allocation among asset classes gradually within the following ranges: stock class (50%-100%), bond class (0%-50%), and short-term/money market class (0%-50%).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.

Fund Summary - continued

Investment Objective

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

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR's principal investment strategies include:

  • Investing approximately 60% of assets in stocks and other equity securities and the remainder in bonds and other debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, when its outlook is neutral.
  • Investing at least 25% of total assets in fixed-income senior securities (including debt securities and preferred stock).
  • Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.
  • With respect to equity investments, emphasizing above-average income-producing equity securities, which tends to lead to investments in stocks that have more "value" characteristics than "growth" characteristics.
  • Analyzing an issuer using fundamental 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.

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 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. If these fees and expenses were included, overall expenses would be higher. 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:

Fund Basics

Investment Details

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. FMR may invest in funds managed by an affiliate of FMR that do not pay a management fee and are offered to other Fidelity funds. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in these other funds will be based upon the investment results of those funds. 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 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.

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.

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.

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, 2004, FMR was using the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index in managing the fund's investments. As of December 31, 2004, the fund's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 4.9 years and the index's dollar-weighted average maturity was approximately 7.1 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.

Prospectus

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.

FMR may also invest up to 10% of the fund's assets in lower-quality debt securities.

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 and lower-quality debt securities by investing in other funds. FMR may invest in funds managed by an affiliate of FMR that do not pay a management fee and are offered to other Fidelity funds. The investment results of the portions of the fund's assets invested in these other funds will be based upon the investment results of those 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.

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.

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 Money Market Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR invests the fund's assets in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities of domestic and foreign issuers and repurchase agreements. FMR also may enter into reverse repurchase agreements for the fund.

FMR will invest more than 25% of the fund's total assets in the financial services industries.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with industry-standard regulatory requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity, and income.

Investment Objective

VIP Real Estate Portfolio seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk. The fund seeks to provide a yield that exceeds the composite yield of the S&P 500.

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 principally engaged in the real estate industry and other real estate related investments. Companies in the real estate industry and real estate related investments may include, for example, real estate investment trusts (REITs) that either own properties or make construction or mortgage loans, real estate developers, companies with substantial real estate holdings, and other companies whose products and services are related to the real estate industry, such as building supply manufacturers, mortgage lenders, or mortgage servicing companies.

Prospectus

Fund Basics - continued

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 Strategic Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

FMR expects to invest the fund's assets primarily in debt securities, including lower-quality debt securities, allocated among four general investment categories: high yield securities, U.S. Government and investment-grade securities, emerging market securities, and foreign developed market securities. FMR may also invest the fund's assets in equity securities.

The fund's neutral mix, or the benchmark for its combination of investments in each category over time, is approximately 40% high yield, 30% U.S. Government and investment-grade, 15% emerging markets, and 15% foreign developed markets. In normal market environments, FMR expects the fund's asset allocation to approximate the neutral mix within a range of plus or minus 10% of assets per category, although there are no absolute limits on the percent of assets invested in each category. FMR regularly reviews the fund's allocation and makes changes gradually over time to favor investments that it believes provide the most favorable outlook for achieving the fund's objective. By allocating investments across different types of fixed-income securities, FMR attempts to moderate the significant risks of each category through diversification.

The high yield category includes high-yielding, lower-quality debt securities consisting mainly of U.S. securities. The U.S. Government and investment-grade category includes mortgage securities, U.S. Government securities, and other investment-grade U.S. dollar-denominated securities. The emerging market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality if issuers located in emerging markets. The foreign developed market category includes corporate and government securities of any quality of issuers located in developed foreign markets.

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 generally analyzed a security's structural features and current price compared to its long-term value. In selecting foreign securities, FMR's analysis also considers the credit, currency, and economic risks associated with the security and the country of its issuer. FMR may also consider an issuer's potential for success in light of its current financial condition, its industry position, and economic and market conditions.

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 and lower-quality debt securities by investing in other funds. FMR may invest in a fund managed by an affiliate of FMR that does not pay a management fee and is offered to other Fidelity funds. The investment results of the portion of the fund's assets invested in this other fund will be based upon the investment results of that fund. If FMR's strategies do not work as intended, the fund may not achieve its objective.

Investment Objective

VIP Value Strategies Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

Principal Investment Strategies

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

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.

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.

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, usually 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, loans and loan participations, and other securities that FMR believes have debt-like characteristics, including hybrids and synthetic securities.

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 Real Estate's and VIP Strategic Income'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.

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.

"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.

Fundamental Investment Policies

The policies discussed below are fundamental, that is, subject to change only by shareholder approval.

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.

VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio seeks to maximize total return by allocating its assets among stocks, bonds, short-term instruments, and other investments.

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

VIP Contrafund Portfolio seeks long-term capital appreciation.

VIP Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio seeks 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.

VIP Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve capital appreciation.

Prospectus

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

VIP Growth Opportunities Portfolio seeks to provide capital growth.

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

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.

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

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

VIP Money Market Portfolio seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity by investing in money market instruments.

VIP Real Estate Portfolio seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk, by investing primarily in the equity securities of companies in the real estate industry. The fund seeks to provide a yield that exceeds the composite yield of the S&P 500.

VIP Strategic Income Portfolio seeks a high level of current income. The fund may also seek capital appreciation.

VIP Value Strategies Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

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 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 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.

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, that security will be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value in accordance with the Board's fair value pricing policies. For example, arbitrage opportunities may exist when trading in a portfolio security or securities is halted and does not resume before a fund calculates its NAV. These arbitrage opportunities may enable short-term traders to dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Securities trading in overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events affecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market but prior to the close of the U.S. market. Fair value pricing may be used for high yield debt and floating rate loans when available pricing information is stale or is determined for other reasons not to accurately reflect fair value. To the extent a fund invests in other open-end funds, the fund will calculate its NAV using the NAV of the underlying funds in which it invests as described in the underlying funds' prospectuses. A fund may invest in other Fidelity funds that use the same fair value pricing policies as the fund or in Fidelity money market funds. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Fair valuation of a fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the fund's NAV by short-term traders. While each fund (other than the money market fund) has policies regarding excessive trading, these too may not be effective to prevent short-term NAV arbitrage trading, particularly in regard to omnibus accounts.

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 and insurance dedicated feeder funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager can buy or sell shares of the funds.

Frequent purchases and sales of fund shares resulting from purchase, exchange, or withdrawal transactions can harm variable product owners in various ways, including reducing the returns to long-term variable product owners by increasing costs paid by the fund (such as brokerage commissions), disrupting portfolio management strategies, and diluting the value of the shares of long-term variable product owners in cases in which fluctuations in markets are not fully priced into the fund's NAV. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage frequent large-scale purchases and sales of shares at the separate account level for each fund (other than VIP Money Market), but has not adopted policies at the variable product owner level. Purchase and redemption transactions submitted to a fund by insurance company separate accounts reflect the transactions of multiple variable product owners whose individual transactions are not disclosed to the fund. Therefore, a fund generally cannot detect short-term trading by individual variable product owners and relies in large part on the rights, ability, and willingness of insurance companies to detect and deter short-term trading. The funds' policies are separate from, and in addition to, any policies and procedures applicable to variable product owner transactions. The variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus will contain a description of the insurance company's policies and procedures, if any, with respect to short-term trading. However, there is the significant risk that the funds' and insurance company's policies and procedures will prove ineffective in whole or in part to detect or prevent frequent trading. A fund may alter its policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders. The funds' Treasurer is authorized to suspend the funds' policies during periods of severe market turbulence or national emergency. There is no assurance that the funds' Treasurer will exercise this authority or, if the Treasurer does so, that the fund will be protected from the risks associated with frequent trading. The actions of the Treasurer are periodically reviewed with the Board of Trustees.

The funds' transfer agent monitors each separate account's daily purchases and sales orders, which reflect the aggregate and net result of all purchase, redemption, and exchange activity of all variable product owners in that separate account. Redemption transactions that are greater than a certain dollar amount, or greater than a certain percentage of the total of the separate account's holdings of a fund, will trigger a review of the separate account's prior history. If, in the opinion of the funds' transfer agent, the history may be consistent with a pattern of disruptive trading by variable product owners, the funds' transfer agent or distributor will notify the insurance company and inquire about the source of the activity. These policies will be applied uniformly to all insurance companies. However, there is no assurance that the insurance company will investigate the activity or stop any activity that proves to be inappropriate. FMR reserves the right, but does not have the obligation, to reject purchase orders from, or to stop or limit the offering of shares to, insurance company separate accounts. In addition, FMR reserves the right to impose restrictions on purchases at any time or conditions that are more restrictive on disruptive, excessive, or short-term trading than those that are otherwise stated in this prospectus.

FMR anticipates that variable product owners will purchase and sell shares of VIP Money Market frequently because the money market fund is designed to offer investors a liquid cash option. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has not adopted policies and procedures designed to discourage excessive or short-term trading of money market fund shares and VIP Money Market accommodates frequent trading.

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

A fund may reject for any reason, or cancel as permitted or required by law, any purchase orders.

For example, a fund may reject any purchase orders, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund.

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.

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.

Shareholder Information - continued

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 as well as insurance dedicated feeder funds and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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, insurance dedicated feeder funds, and other VIP funds for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. 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 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 High Income, VIP Index 500, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Strategic Income, 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 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.

Fund Services - continued

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays all of the other expenses of VIP Index 500 with limited exceptions.

Effective March 1, 2005, VIP Index 500's annual management fee rate is 0.10% of its average net assets. Prior to March 1, 2005, VIP Index 500's annual management fee rate was 0.24% of its average net assets.

For 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 High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, VIP Strategic Income, 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 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 Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Strategies or 0.37% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Money Market, and VIP Strategic Income, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For December 2004, the group fee rate was 0.27% for 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 Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Strategies and the group fee rate was 0.12% for VIP High Income, VIP Investment Grade Bond, VIP Money Market, and VIP Strategic Income. 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 Investment Grade Bond, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Value Strategies; and 0.45% for VIP High Income and VIP Strategic Income.

The total management fee, as a percentage of a fund's average net assets, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, for each fund (other than VIP Index 500) 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.

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.

The insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers (intermediaries) may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates compensation for their services intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund. This compensation may take the form of:

  • payments for additional distribution-related activities and/or shareholder services
  • payments for educational seminars and training, including seminars sponsored by FMR or an affiliate, or by an intermediary

These payments are described in more detail on the following pages and in the SAI.

Initial Class of each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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. These payments are not charged to a fund and do not increase a fund's total expenses.

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.

The SAI contains further details about the payments made by FMR, FDC and their affiliates and the services provided by certain intermediaries. Please speak with your investment professional to learn more about any payments his or her firm may receive from FMR, FDC and/or their affiliates, as well as fees and/or commissions the intermediary charges. You should also consult disclosures made by your investment professional at the time of purchase.

If mutual fund sponsors and their affiliates make distribution and/or non-distribution related payments in varying amounts, certain intermediaries and investment professionals that receive these payments may have an incentive to recommend one mutual fund or one share class over another.

In addition, the funds' transfer agent may also make payments and reimbursements from its own resources to intermediaries for performing recordkeeping and administrative services with respect to insurance contract owners' accounts, which the funds' transfer agent or an affiliate would otherwise have to perform directly. These payments are not charged to a fund and do not increase a fund's total expenses. Please see "Transfer and Service Agent Agreements" in the SAI for more information.

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 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 High Income, VIP Mid Cap, VIP Money Market, VIP Real Estate, and VIP Strategic Income) and Deloitte & Touche LLP (for 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, and VIP Value Strategies), independent registered public accounting firm, 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.

Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.

F Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

G As a result in the change in the estimate of the return of capital component of divided income realized in the year ended December 31, 2003, net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reduced by $.01 per share and .02%, respectively. The change in estimate has no impact on total net assets or total return of the fund.

E 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.

F 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 December 31, 2001 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was a decrease to net investment income of $.017 and $.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.

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 drivers' licenses, articles of incorporation, trust instruments or partnership agreements and other information that will help Fidelity identify the entity.

You can obtain additional information about the funds. A description of each fund's policies and procedures for disclosing its holdings is available in the funds' SAI and on Fidelity's web sites. The SAI also includes more detailed information about each fund and its investments. The SAI is incorporated herein by reference (legally forms a part of the prospectus). Each fund's annual and semi-annual reports also include additional information. Each fund's (other than VIP Money Market's) annual report includes a discussion of the fund's holdings and recent market conditions and the fund's investment strategies that affected performance.

You can obtain copies of this information, after paying a duplicating fee, by sending a request by e-mail to publicinfo@sec.gov or by writing the Public Reference Section of the SEC, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.
