Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred, directly or indirectly, when you, as a variable product owner, buy and hold interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund. The table does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall fees and expenses would be higher.

B Differs from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus because of acquired fund fees and expenses.
C Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR) has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% of the fund's management fee. This arrangement will remain in effect through April 30, 2025. In addition FMR has contractually agreed to reimburse 0.10% of class-level expenses for Service Class and Service Class 2. This arrangement will remain in effect for at least one year from the effective date of the prospectus, and will remain in effect thereafter as long as Service Class and Service Class 2 continue to be sold to unaffiliated insurance companies. If Service Class and Service Class 2 are no longer sold to unaffiliated insurance companies, FMR, in its sole discretion, may discontinue the arrangement.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. This example does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall expenses would be higher. For every $10,000 invested, here's how much you, as a variable product owner, would pay in total expenses if all interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover
 
The fund will not incur transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells shares of underlying Fidelity ® funds, but it may incur transaction costs when it buys and sells other types of securities (including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)) and futures) directly (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 50 % of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Seeking to maintain a target portfolio volatility of 10% over a one-year period. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. While attempts are made to manage the fund's volatility, there can be no guarantee that the fund will maintain its target volatility.
  • Normally investing in a combination of underlying Fidelity® funds, ETFs, and futures.
  • Potentially investing up to 30% of total assets in index futures.
  • Managing underlying holdings to achieve portfolio characteristics similar to the Fidelity VIP Target Volatility Portfolio Composite IndexSM over the long-term, which is a hypothetical representation of the performance of the asset classes in which the fund intends to invest, based on combinations of the following unmanaged indexes: Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market IndexSM (equities); MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (international equities); Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (bonds); and Bloomberg U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bellwether Index (short-term investments).
  • Using proprietary fundamental and quantitative fund research, considering factors including fund performance, a fund manager's experience and investment style, and fund characteristics such as expense ratio, asset size, and portfolio turnover to select underlying funds.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Investing in Other Funds.
The fund bears all risks of investment strategies employed by the underlying funds, including the risk that the underlying funds will not meet their investment objectives.
  • Investing for Volatility Management.
There can be no guarantee that the fund will maintain its target volatility level. Furthermore, while the fund's volatility forecasting model seeks competitive returns with more consistent volatility of returns, the attainment and maintenance of the target volatility level does not ensure that the fund will deliver competitive returns. Volatility may result in rapid and dramatic price swings.
  • Using Derivatives to Manage Volatility.
The fund's use of derivatives may reduce its returns and/or increase volatility. Volatility is a statistical measurement of the magnitude of up and down fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument or index over time. A risk of the fund's use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets. The possible lack of a liquid secondary market for derivatives and the resulting inability of the fund to sell or otherwise close a derivatives position could expose the fund to losses and could make derivatives more difficult for the fund to value accurately. Derivatives may give rise to a form of leverage and may expose the fund to greater risk and increase its costs. Recent legislation calls for new regulation of the derivatives markets. The extent and impact of the regulation is not yet known and may not be known for some time. New regulation may make derivatives more costly, may limit the availability of derivatives, or may otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives.
  • 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, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
  • Interest Rate Changes.
Interest rate increases can cause the price of a debt or money market 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.
The extent of economic development; political stability; market depth, infrastructure, and capitalization; and regulatory oversight can be less than in more developed markets. Emerging markets typically have less established legal, accounting and financial reporting systems than those in more developed markets, which may reduce the scope or quality of financial information available to investors.
Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
  • Geographic Exposure.
Social, political, and economic conditions and changes in regulatory, tax, or economic policy in a country or region could significantly affect the market in that country or region.
  • Industry Exposure.
Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single industry or group of related industries.
  • 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, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or a provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a security to decrease.
Lower-quality debt securities (those of less than investment-grade quality, also referred to as high yield debt securities or junk bonds) 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.
  • Counterparty Risk.
The counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations.
  • Leverage Risk.
Leverage can increase market exposure, magnify investment risks, and cause losses to be realized more quickly.
  • Investing in ETFs.
ETFs may trade in the secondary market at prices below the value of their underlying portfolios and may not be liquid. ETFs that track an index are subject to tracking error and may be unable to sell poorly performing assets that are included in their index or other benchmark.
  • Commodity-Linked Investing.
The value of commodities and commodity-linked investments may be affected by the performance of the overall commodities markets as well as weather, political, tax, and other regulatory and market developments. Commodity-linked investments may be more volatile and less liquid than the underlying commodity, instruments, or measures.
  • Commodity Futures.
Investments in commodity futures contracts are also subject to the risk of the failure of any of the exchanges on which an underlying fund's positions trade or of its clearinghouses or counterparties. In addition, certain commodity exchanges limit fluctuations in certain futures contract prices during a single day by regulations referred to as "daily price fluctuation limits" or "daily limits." Under such daily limits, during a single trading day no trades may be executed at prices beyond the daily limit. If triggered, these limits could prevent the underlying fund from liquidating unfavorable positions and subject the underlying fund to losses or prevent it from entering into desired trades during the particular trading day.
You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Performance
The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund.
The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and a hypothetical composite of market indexes over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the "Additional Index Information" section of the prospectus. Past performance is not an indication of future performance.
Returns for shares of the fund do not include the effect of any sales charges or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if they did, returns for shares of the fund would be lower.

Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from the fund.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers and service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment.
