Aggressive Growth Portfolio

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Aggressive Growth Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Rajiv Kaul, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Aggressive Growth Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the 12 months ending December 31, 2003, the fund trailed the Russell Midcap® Growth Index and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Mid-Cap Funds Average, which returned 42.71% and 35.40%, respectively. Stock selection in health care equipment and services, a relatively large cash position for much of the period and a cautious stance toward technology stocks worked against the fund's performance. On the positive side, an underweighting in commercial services and supplies was helpful. Biotechnology holding Genentech was the fund's strongest contributor. The stock benefited from improving prospects for the Food and Drug Administration's approval of Avastin, the company's treatment for colorectal cancer. Intel also was one of the fund's top contributors, buoyed by the rapid adoption of the company's new Centrino chipset for wireless computing. Biotech stock Amgen was our largest detractor on a relative basis. Amgen was hurt by concerns about possible cutbacks in Medicare reimbursement for Epogen, its medication for kidney dialysis patients. Also undermining performance versus the index was oil services provider Weatherford International, which suffered as energy exploration companies maintained a cautious stance, focusing on strengthening their balance sheets rather than funding new projects.

B Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

C Total returns do not reflect charges attributable to your insurance company's separate account. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total returns shown.

D Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

E Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

F For the period December 27, 2000 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2000.

G Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. 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.

H 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.

I Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

Aggressive Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Aggressive Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Aggressive Growth Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .35% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .63% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

Service Class

$ 872

Service Class 2

12,784

$ 13,656

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $8,269 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Louis Salemy, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio

Equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding amid historically low interest rates, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. Investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick end to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets, as did an astonishing 8.2% surge in third-quarter GDP growth. As a result of 2003's economic upturn, stocks soared: The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Meanwhile, despite modestly higher interest rates, investment-grade bonds were up 4.10%, according to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index. Investors' renewed appetite for risk and higher yields helped all spread sectors outpace Treasuries, which returned only 2.24%. Corporates had a stellar year, particularly lower-quality issues, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index gained 7.70%. Increased volatility tempered mortgage securities, while heightened regulatory scrutiny curbed agency bond performance. Still, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities and U.S. Agency indexes rose 3.07% and 2.59%, respectively.

During the past year, the fund modestly trailed both the Fidelity Balanced 60/40 Composite Index and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Balanced Funds Average, which returned 18.48% and 18.96%, respectively. The fund's equities contributed the most to absolute returns but were a drag on performance relative to its benchmarks. Our fixed-income investments, meanwhile, fared quite well on a relative basis. Specifically, we benefited from allocating part of the bond subportfolio to high-yield securities, which trounced investment-grade debt. Rebounding corporate bonds also helped our investment-grade holdings soundly beat the Lehman Brothers index. On the equity front, weak sector positioning more than offset good stock picking overall. Most of the shortfall versus the S&P 500® came in the second half of the period as I avoided surging technology stocks such as Intel. Overweighting weak telecommunication services stocks - most notably BellSouth - also hurt, as did retailers such as Kohl's. Conversely, I had some solid picks in the media group, led by large stakes in advertising giant Omnicom Group and satellite broadcaster EchoStar. Favoring market-sensitive financials such as Merrill Lynch also helped, as did underweighting the lagging large-cap drug stocks.

Balanced Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Balanced Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the fund's Schedule of Investments. The fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swap Agreements. The fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact the fund.

Balanced Portfolio

2. Operating Policies - continued

Swap Agreement - continued

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, the fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .15% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from John Porter, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the 12 months ending December 31, 2003, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio underperformed the LipperSM Variable Annuity Capital Appreciation Funds Average and the S&P 500® index, which returned 32.75% and 28.69%, respectively. The fund's performance relative to its index was hurt by an overweighting in the energy sector, where the fund emphasized generally poor-performing energy services companies such as Rowan, Weatherford, BJ Services and ENSCO. Elsewhere, the fund's underweighting in technology during the first nine months of the period also held back its relative return, as this was the market's best-performing sector during 2003. Other individual detractors included telecommunication services provider Qwest Communications and hospital facility operator Tenet Healthcare. Although telecommunications was the market's worst-performing sector, strong gains from holdings in U.K. cable provider NTL and wireless services carrier Nextel helped the fund's positions in the group deliver a return of more than 160%. The fund's largest two holdings on average throughout the period - health care provider UnitedHealth Group and satellite-TV company EchoStar Communications - also were among the fund's top contributors.

Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

Service Class

$ 799

Service Class 2

19,581

$ 20,380

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Initial Class

$ 3,424

Service Class

672

Service Class 2

9,232

$ 13,328

Dynamic Capital Appreciation Portfolio

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $9,869 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Expense Reductions.

FMR agreed to reimburse each class to the extent operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

7. Other Information.

At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 54% of the total outstanding shares of the fund. In addition, two unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 30% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the year ending December 31, 2003, the fund slightly outperformed the S&P 500® index, which gained 28.69%, and performed about in line with the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth Funds Average, which returned 30.23%. The fund outperformed its peers through much of the year, but couldn't quite maintain its lead as the market rally increasingly focused on smaller, aggressive stocks and NASDAQ names later in the year. Consequently, several of the large-cap, defensive steady growers among the fund's top-10 holdings, such as Microsoft, Gillette and Coca-Cola, lagged in the second-half rally. Stock selection in technology, particularly semiconductors, was a significant contributor relative to the index. Three of our top eight performers were semiconductor-related: National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments and Analog Devices. In media, weak advertising spending in the spot market - local TV, radio and newspapers - hurt the fund's positions in Viacom and Fox Entertainment. Cooper Cameron and Schlumberger also disappointed, as energy companies worked to improve their balance sheets rather than fund new exploration projects. On the other hand, brokerage stocks Merrill Lynch and Citigroup boosted performance as the capital markets improved.

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.

A Total returns do not reflect charges attributable to your insurance company's separate account. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total returns shown.

B Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

D Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. 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.

Growth Opportunities Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Growth Opportunities Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

$ 319,540

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Initial Class

$ 298,640

|

Service Class

139,421

Service Class 2

42,488

$ 480,549

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $692,911 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. At period end there were no security loans outstanding.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $161,467 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $75.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 20% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and one unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 48% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Louis Salemy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

During the past year, the fund posted solid gains but trailed both the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth & Income Funds Average, which returned 28.69% and 28.54%, respectively. Weak sector positioning more than offset good stock picking overall. Most of the shortfall versus the index came during the second half of the period amid a strong speculative rally in cyclical- and growth-oriented segments of the market. Shying away from technology stocks hurt a lot as the sector took off early in the spring and never looked back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to generate enough excess returns elsewhere in the fund to make up for not owning top-performing tech names in the index such as Intel. Another drag was overweighting weak telecommunication services stocks - most notably BellSouth - and retailers such as Kohl's. In addition, having an average of roughly 12% of the fund in cash during the period detracted in an up market. On the plus side, I had some solid picks in media, where our collective holdings beat those in the index by a wide margin. Large stakes in advertising giant Omnicom Group and satellite broadcaster EchoStar led the way here. Favoring market-sensitive financials such as Merrill Lynch also helped, as did underweighting the lagging large-cap drug stocks.

Growth & Income Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Growth & Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

Unrealized appreciation

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .48% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

1. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Initial Class

$ 482,906

|

Service Class

203,338

Service Class 2

159,916

$ 846,160

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,875,429 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $33,165 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $51.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 22% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 49% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Growth & Income Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III, including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Growth & Income Portfolio as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Tom Allen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Mid Cap Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 2003, the fund posted strong positive returns, outperforming both the Standard & Poor's® MidCap 400 Index, which gained 35.62%, and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Mid-Cap Funds Average, which rose 35.40%. The fund's significant overweighting in strong-performing materials stocks, including base metals such as copper and zinc - as well as big positions in gold mining issues - provided a large part of the fund's positive performance. Favorable stock selection in areas such as biotechnology, energy and health care equipment also contributed solid gains. Among the top contributors were gold producer Newmont Mining and Invitrogen, a life sciences technology company. Performance suffered because of the fund's overly cautious stance, particularly early in the period, which resulted in an unusually large position in cash and a significant underweighting in the resurgent semiconductor industry. Several gold mining stocks that did well in 2002 - Meridian Gold and Agnico-Eagle, for example - hurt performance in 2003 as investors reduced their exposure to these issues.

Mid Cap Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Mid Cap Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Mid Cap Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

Service Class

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,668,961 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $418,696 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $4,082.

8. Other Information.

At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 23% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 45% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

9. Transactions with Affiliated Companies.

An affiliated company is a company which the fund has ownership of at least 5% of the voting securities. Information regarding transactions with affiliated companies is included in "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Value Strategies Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the 12 months ending December 31, 2003, Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Strategies Portfolio easily topped the 38.07% return for the Russell® Midcap Value Index and the 35.40% return for the LipperSM Variable Annuity Mid-Cap Funds Average. Good stock picking and overweightings in the information technology, consumer discretionary and industrials sectors contributed significantly to the fund's performance relative to its index. Many small- and mid-cap tech holdings - such as chip manufacturer Advanced Micro Devices, communications equipment maker Terayon and software firm Retek - became top contributors when the economic environment improved. Several homebuilding stocks - including Beazer Homes and Lennar - also performed well as demand for newly constructed homes remained strong. By contrast, video game stocks Nintendo, Take-Two Interactive and THQ were among the biggest detractors, as the industry generally suffered from weaker-than-expected sales during the 2002 holiday season. In addition, Jones Apparel Group was hurt by lower 2004 profit expectations when the company resolved a licensing dispute with Polo Ralph Lauren by ending production of its Lauren women's clothing line.

Value Strategies Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Value Strategies Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Strategies Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

$ 280,926

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Initial Class

$ 16,217

|

Service Class

28,163

Service Class 2

69,837

$ 114,217

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records and administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund III and Shareholders of Value Strategies Portfolio:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Value Strategies Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund III, including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Value Strategies Portfolio as of December 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Richard Habermann and Ford O'Neil, Co-Managers of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio

Equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding amid historically low interest rates, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. Investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick end to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets, as did an astonishing 8.2% surge in third-quarter GDP growth. As a result of 2003's economic upturn, stocks soared: The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Meanwhile, despite modestly higher interest rates, investment-grade bonds were up 4.10%, according to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index. Investors' renewed appetite for risk and higher yields helped all spread sectors outpace Treasuries, which returned only 2.24%. Corporates had a stellar year, particularly lower-quality issues, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index gained 7.70%. Increased volatility tempered mortgage securities, while heightened regulatory scrutiny curbed agency bond performance. Still, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities and U.S. Agency indexes rose 3.07% and 2.59%, respectively.

During the past year, the fund easily outpaced both the Fidelity Asset Manager: Growth Composite Index, which rose 20.80%, and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Flexible Portfolio Funds Average, which returned 18.05%. Our asset allocation decisions largely drove the fund's results. After underweighting equities early in 2003 as they retreated, we shifted to an overweighting during the spring and added to it somewhat during the summer as stocks bounced higher. Having increased our emphasis on high-yield securities during the fall of 2002 further boosted returns as that market rebounded sharply in 2003. The fund's above-average weighting in cash, however, detracted a bit. Despite gaining more than 26%, the fund's equities trailed the S&P 500® mainly due to overweighting lagging health care stocks, including drug distributor Cardinal Health and major drug makers such as Merck. Shying away from top-performing tech stocks such as Intel also hurt. Conversely, our aggressive positioning in financials contributed, led by sizable positions in such capital-markets-sensitive stocks as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. Avoiding poor-performing stable-growth consumer staples such as Wal-Mart, a big holding of the S&P®, also contributed to the fund's performance relative to the composite index. In fixed-income, the fund benefited mainly from a focus on beaten-down corporate bonds that staged big recoveries, with its high-yield and investment-grade holdings soundly beating the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The strategic cash portion of the fund topped its benchmark as well.

Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.

C The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 through January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflects a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Louis Salemy, Lead Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio

Equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding amid historically low interest rates, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. Investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick end to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets, as did an astonishing 8.2% surge in third-quarter GDP growth. As a result of 2003's economic upturn, stocks soared: The Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Meanwhile, despite modestly higher interest rates, investment-grade bonds were up 4.10%, according to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index. Investors' renewed appetite for risk and higher yields helped all spread sectors outpace Treasuries, which returned only 2.24%. Corporates had a stellar year, particularly lower-quality issues, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index gained 7.70%. Increased volatility tempered mortgage securities, while heightened regulatory scrutiny curbed agency bond performance. Still, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities and U.S. Agency indexes rose 3.07% and 2.59%, respectively.

During the past year, the fund modestly trailed both the Fidelity Balanced 60/40 Composite Index and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Balanced Funds Average, which returned 18.48% and 18.96%, respectively. The fund's equities contributed the most to absolute returns but were a drag on performance relative to its benchmarks. Our fixed-income investments, meanwhile, fared quite well on a relative basis. Specifically, we benefited from allocating part of the bond subportfolio to high-yield securities, which trounced investment-grade debt. Rebounding corporate bonds also helped our investment-grade holdings soundly beat the Lehman Brothers index. On the equity front, weak sector positioning more than offset good stock picking overall. Most of the shortfall versus the S&P 500® came in the second half of the period as I avoided surging technology stocks such as Intel. Overweighting weak telecommunication services stocks - most notably BellSouth - also hurt, as did retailers such as Kohl's. Conversely, I had some solid picks in the media group, led by large stakes in advertising giant Omnicom Group and satellite broadcaster EchoStar. Favoring market-sensitive financials such as Merrill Lynch also helped, as did underweighting the lagging large-cap drug stocks.

Balanced Portfolio

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.

C The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of the Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Louis Salemy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

During the past year, the fund posted solid gains but trailed both the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth & Income Funds Average, which returned 28.69% and 28.54%, respectively. Weak sector positioning more than offset good stock picking overall. Most of the shortfall versus the index came during the second half of the period amid a strong speculative rally in cyclical- and growth-oriented segments of the market. Shying away from technology stocks hurt a lot as the sector took off early in the spring and never looked back. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to generate enough excess returns elsewhere in the fund to make up for not owning top-performing tech names in the index such as Intel. Another drag was overweighting weak telecommunication services stocks - most notably BellSouth - and retailers such as Kohl's. In addition, having an average of roughly 12% of the fund in cash during the period detracted in an up market. On the plus side, I had some solid picks in media, where our collective holdings beat those in the index by a wide margin. Large stakes in advertising giant Omnicom Group and satellite broadcaster EchoStar led the way here. Favoring market-sensitive financials such as Merrill Lynch also helped, as did underweighting the lagging large-cap drug stocks.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover 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.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2 shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities Portfolio

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the year ending December 31, 2003, the fund slightly outperformed the S&P 500® index, which gained 28.69%, and performed about in line with the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth Funds Average, which returned 30.23%. The fund outperformed its peers through much of the year, but couldn't quite maintain its lead as the market rally increasingly focused on smaller, aggressive stocks and NASDAQ names later in the year. Consequently, several of the large-cap, defensive steady growers among the fund's top-10 holdings, such as Microsoft, Gillette and Coca-Cola, lagged in the second-half rally. Stock selection in technology, particularly semiconductors, was a significant contributor relative to the index. Three of our top eight performers were semiconductor-related: National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments and Analog Devices. In media, weak advertising spending in the spot market - local TV, radio and newspapers - hurt the fund's positions in Viacom and Fox Entertainment. Cooper Cameron and Schlumberger also disappointed, as energy companies worked to improve their balance sheets rather than fund new exploration projects. On the other hand, brokerage stocks Merrill Lynch and Citigroup boosted performance as the capital markets improved.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover 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.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on July 7, 2000. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to July 7, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to July 7, 2000 would have been lower.

B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to January 12, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Ford O'Neil, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Investment Grade Bond Portfolio

It was an extremely volatile period for investment-grade bonds due to changing expectations about the pace of the economic recovery and the direction of interest rates. Early in 2003, bonds extended their three-plus-year bull run as continued low inflation and lingering drags on the economy caused investors to believe that rates would remain low for a long time. But heading into the summer, bond prices suffered steep declines as yields spiked higher amid signs that the economy was on the mend and the growing perception that the Federal Reserve Board's next move would be to raise interest rates. Bond prices subsequently recovered a bit with the Fed reaffirming its accommodative monetary policy, but yields remained moderately higher across the curve. Overall, bonds still returned 4.10%, according to the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index. Investors' renewed appetite for risk and higher yields helped all spread sectors outpace Treasuries, which rose only 2.24%. Corporates had a stellar year, particularly lower-quality issues, as the Lehman Brothers Credit Bond Index gained 7.70%. Increased volatility tempered mortgage securities, while heightened regulatory scrutiny curbed agency bond performance. Still, the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities and U.S. Agency indexes climbed 3.07% and 2.59%, respectively.

During the past year, the fund comfortably beat the Lehman Brothers® Aggregate Bond Index, which rose 4.10%, while performing roughly in line with the LipperSM Variable Annuity Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average, which returned 5.14%. While sector and security selection largely drove fund results, yield-curve positioning also contributed. I had limited exposure to lagging government securities - namely Treasuries and agencies - and instead focused on higher-yielding spread sectors such as corporate bonds, which outperformed amid a more favorable environment for riskier assets. Corporates were particular standouts, as yield spreads tightened sharply from the record-wide levels achieved last fall. Solid industry and security selection within the sector played a key role in outpacing the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. Thanks to Fidelity's strong research capabilities, I was able to increase positions in what I felt were improving credit-quality stories, while selling bonds that appeared fully priced. This strategy paid off, as several middle-to-lower-quality investment-grade holdings continued to rally. That said, there were a few holdings that didn't recover, but they were very small positions. Elsewhere, while mortgage securities struggled against a backdrop of increased volatility, we did well by generally owning the right bonds within the sector.

The views expressed in this statement reflect those of the portfolio manager only through the end of the period of the report as stated on the cover 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.

A Total returns do not reflect charges attributable to your insurance company's separate account. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total returns shown.

B Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

D Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. 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.

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.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Mid Cap Portfolio

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Tom Allen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Mid Cap Portfolio

U.S. equity markets snapped a three-year losing streak in 2003, rebounding on the strength of the lowest interest rates in decades, improved corporate profits and a resurgent economy. For the year overall, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 28.69%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM rose 28.14% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 50.77%. Small-cap stocks led the charge, particularly lower-quality issues in cyclical industries such as biotechnology and the Internet. As a result, the Russell 2000® Index had its best calendar year ever, climbing 47.25%. The start of the year gave little indication of the strong performance to come, as the hangover of corporate governance scandals and an impending war with Iraq clouded the outlook for 2003. However, investors were encouraged by solid gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first two quarters of 2003, and what seemed to be a quick resolution to the Iraqi conflict. Federal tax cuts and a boom in mortgage refinancing further boosted the markets and put more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984.

For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 2003, the fund posted strong positive returns, outperforming both the Standard & Poor's® MidCap 400 Index, which gained 35.62%, and the LipperSM Variable Annuity Mid-Cap Funds Average, which rose 35.40%. The fund's significant overweighting in strong-performing materials stocks, including base metals such as copper and zinc - as well as big positions in gold mining issues - provided a large part of the fund's positive performance. Favorable stock selection in areas such as biotechnology, energy and health care equipment also contributed solid gains. Among the top contributors were gold producer Newmont Mining and Invitrogen, a life sciences technology company. Performance suffered because of the fund's overly cautious stance, particularly early in the period, which resulted in an unusually large position in cash and a significant underweighting in the resurgent semiconductor industry. Several gold mining stocks that did well in 2002 - Meridian Gold and Agnico-Eagle, for example - hurt performance in 2003 as investors reduced their exposure to these issues.

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.

A Total returns do not reflect charges attributable to your insurance company's separate account. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total returns shown.

B Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

D Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. 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.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. Performance numbers are net of all fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on July 7, 2000. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to July 7, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to July 7, 2000 would have been lower.

B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to January 12, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year.

Money Market Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended December 31, 2003

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Money Market Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund. Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio and Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund II. Balanced Portfolio, Growth & Income Portfolio, Growth Opportunities Portfolio, and Mid Cap Portfolio (the funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund III. The Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance Products Fund II, and Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trusts) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment companies organized as Massachusetts business trusts. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shares of each fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. Each fund offers three classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares and Service Class 2 shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class differs with respect to distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities owned by the money market fund are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium.

Foreign Currency. Certain funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Asset Manager: Growth, Growth & Income and Mid Cap estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though the principal is not received until maturity. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies by distributing all of their taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. For the Money Market Portfolio, dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income and distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from net investment income and realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date for all other funds. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class.

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period for the Money Market Portfolio. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), defaulted bonds, prior period premium and discount on debt securities, market discount, financing transactions, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each fund:

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage loan obligations which may be below investment-grade quality and equity securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments. Each fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Futures Contracts. Certain funds may use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Restricted Securities. Certain funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. Certain funds may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. Information regarding loans and other direct debt instruments is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Swap Agreements. Certain funds may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing their exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.

Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by each applicable fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact each applicable fund.

Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, each applicable fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, each applicable fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by each applicable fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with each applicable fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts' terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements."

Annual Report

2. Operating Policies - continued

Financing Transactions. To earn additional income, certain funds may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the funds with investment management related services for which the funds pay a monthly management fee.

For all funds except the Money Market Portfolio, the management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of each fund and a group fee rate. The group fee rates differ for equity and fixed-income funds and are each based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rates decrease as assets under management increase and increase as assets under management decrease. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30% of the fund's average net assets for Asset Manager: Growth, Growth Opportunities, Investment Grade Bond, and Mid Cap Portfolios, .20% for Growth & Income Portfolio, and .15% for Balanced Portfolio. The group fee rates averaged .28% for the equity funds and .13% for the fixed-income funds during the period.

For the Money Market Portfolio the management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged .13% during the period. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases. During the period the income-based portion of the management fee was $1,679,717 or an annual rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets.

For the period each fund's total annual management fee rate, expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets, was as follows:

Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investment Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee excluding out-of-pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets.

Brokerage Commissions. Certain funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding each applicable fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.

Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain funds provided services to these funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent accountants relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Audit Committee to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
