The Board of Trustees has approved, subject to shareholder approval, a proposal to eliminate each fund’s fundamental “invests primarily” policy, to modify VIP Financial Services Portfolio’s, VIP Health Care Portfolio’s, and VIP Technology Portfolio’s fundamental concentration policy, and to change VIP Financial Services Portfolio from diversified to non-diversified. A meeting of the shareholders of the funds will be held during the fourth quarter of 2017, to vote on these proposals. If approved by shareholders, each fund will continue to have a policy that may be changed upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders of normally investing at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in specific activities suggested by its name. In addition, the fundamental concentration policy for each of VIP Financial Services Portfolio, VIP Health Care Portfolio, and VIP Technology Portfolio will be modified to tie to certain specific industries. If approved, the changes will take effect on January 1, 2018 or the first day of the month following the shareholder meeting.

Shareholders should read the proxy statement, which contains important information about the proposals, when it becomes available. For a free copy of the proxy statement, please contact Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098. The proxy statement will also be available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s web site (www.sec.gov).
