1 Fidelity VIP Financial Services Key Takeaways For the semiannual reporting period ending June 30, 2017, the fund's share classes returned roughly 5.7%, versus the 5.85% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Financials 5% Capped Linked Index. After a huge post-election surge, the financials sector saw returns slow for the first half of 2017, as prospects for near-term regulatory relief stalled, 10-year Treasury yields declined, and loan growth and trading activity decelerated. Manager Chris Lee's picks in the regional banks segment provided the biggest boost versus the MSCI sector index, while security selection in the consumer finance group hindered the fund's relative result. Chris remains encouraged about the sector's prospects, believing financials stand to benefit from higher interest rates, a prolonged economic recovery and valuations that look attractive relative to other sectors. However, identifying higher-quality financials with competitive advantages and above-average returns on capital at reasonable prices has become more challenging in the current environment. MARKET RECAP The U.S. equity bellwether S&P 500 index returned 9.34% for the six months ending June 30, 2017, gaining strongly to begin the new year on optimism for President Trump's probusiness agenda. Equity markets leveled off in March, however, as the fledgling administration faced the first test of its domestic agenda. The index reacted with uncertainty to efforts by Congress to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and then turned upward through June 30. In a stark reversal from 2016, growthoriented stocks handily topped their value counterparts for the first half of Among sectors, information technology (+17%) fared best, surging as a handful of major index constituents posted stellar returns. Health care (+16%) was close behind, climbing in February and again in the second quarter, following the ACA's reprieve. Meanwhile, consumer staples (+8%) and utilities (+9%) fell just shy of the broader market amid investors' general preference for risk assets. Financials (+7%) lagged because sentiment regarding the potential for deregulation and lower taxes faded as the White House turned its attention to other initiatives. Rising interest rates hurt real estate (+6%) and dividend-rich telecommunication services (-11%), the latter of which was further hampered by increased competition. Lastly, lower oil prices sent energy (-13%) to the bottom of the sector performance rankings. Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee

2 Q&A An interview with Manager Christopher Lee Fund Facts Christopher Lee Manager Start Date: July 18, 2001 Size (in millions): $ Investment Approach Fidelity VIP Financial Services is a sector-based, equity-focused strategy that seeks to outperform its benchmark through active management. We believe that stocks of high-quality financial companies exhibiting persistent growth and purchased at reasonable prices can outperform the market over time. Our investment approach relies on fundamental research to uncover differences between expectations and underlying growth potential, presenting an opportunity to generate excess returns. In our search for companies that exhibit potential for sustainable growth, we look for business catalysts such as expanding returns, new markets, product cycles or productivity improvements. Sector strategies could be used by investors as alternatives to individual stocks for either tactical- or strategic-allocation purposes. Q: Chris, how did the fund perform for the six months ending June 30, 2017 The fund's share classes gained about 5.7%, which was close to the 5.85% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Financials 5% Capped Linked Index and slightly ahead of the peer group average. The fund lagged the broader S&P 500 by a sizable margin. Looking back a full year, the fund rose almost 29%, which trailed the 33.85% gain of the MSCI sector index and a similar return for the peer group average. However, the fund soundly outpaced the S&P 500's 17.90% advance. Q: Focusing on the past six months, why did the MSCI sector index lag the broader market Financials stocks had a huge run right after last November's election fueled expectations of regulatory relief. Some of that optimism waned in 2017, however, as investors began questioning how quickly President Trump would be able to advance his agenda. Plus, the yield on the 10-year Treasury declined, reflecting expectations that higher short-term interest rates would eventually slow economic growth. Policy uncertainty led to a deceleration in loan growth, as many commercial and industrial businesses sat on the sidelines. Market volatility was surprisingly low, hindering trading activity. Lastly, credit losses rose among low-end borrowers. The sector benefited, however, from continued modest economic recovery and the Federal Reserve's decision to raise interest rates in March and June. These increases benefited lenders that make money on the difference between rates paid out on deposits and charged on loans. Plus, for the first time, all the major U.S. banks passed their annual federal stress tests, a measure of whether they have adequate capital on hand to withstand a severe economic recession. As a result, many banks gained regulatory approval to boost dividends and share buybacks. Q: Which segments within the financials sector benefited most from this backdrop The biggest winner was the financial exchanges & data group, which typically doesn't fare well amid low volatility. 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

3 However, increased uncertainties around the Trump agenda, the timing and extent of interest rate increases and the pace of economic recovery bolstered hedging activity, which helped the group gain 21% the past six months. Asset management & custody banks also fared well, thanks to their attractive valuations and the market rally. Property & casualty (P&C) insurance stocks posted decent returns, buoyed by stable pricing and low catastrophe levels. Diversified banks were aided by the stress test results. By contrast, long-term Treasury yields kept regional bank returns in check. Low volatility was a headwind for investment banking & brokerage, and concern about potentially higher credit losses hurt consumer finance. Q: What helped the fund relative to the MSCI benchmark this period Stock picks, particularly in the regional banks group, gave the biggest boost to our relative result. I tend to favor higher-quality financials with competitive advantages and above-average returns on capital that I think are reasonably priced. Long term, I believe owning "A-minus" companies at "B-minus" prices can help manage downside risk and preserve capital. Our quality bias likely helped the fund in this weaker-performing segment, although no one regional bank stood out as a top contributor this period. The fund also gained ground from selection in the P&C insurance group, most notably from our overweighting in mortgage-title insurer Fidelity National Financial (FNF). I view FNF as a higher-quality company with above-average returns on capital and good barriers to entry. As 10-year yields fell, investors became less concerned about slowing mortgage volumes, which helped the stock. Plus, management executed well, driving improved profitability and a 33% gain for the fund's shares this period. Q: Which other stocks stood out Our overweighting in CBOE Holdings, parent of the Chicago Board Options Exchange, returned 24% for the first half of CBOE's March acquisition of Kansas-based competitor Bats Global Markets (which we owned at the start of the period) helped, as Bats' significant European presence and technology expertise bolstered CBOE's earnings outlook. Another winner was non-benchmark credit card processor Visa. This is a stable, higher-quality, fee-based company with a history of steadily compounding earnings. The shift worldwide from cash to plastic continued to benefit the company. Also, a post-election rotation into interest-ratesensitive names which had hurt Visa in late 2016 reversed this period, helping drive the stock's 21% gain. Q: Which choices hurt relative performance Our picks in consumer finance disappointed most, led by overweightings in credit card issuers Synchrony Financial and Capital One Financial. Both stocks posted declines due to rising credit losses and reduced earnings estimates. Synchrony, a private-label credit card provider, also was pressured by weak foot traffic for brick-and-mortar retailers. Capital One missed first-quarter earnings estimates and had to raise its loan loss provisions. We like both positions because they generate higher returns on capital than most regional banks and have much cheaper price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios. We believe Synchrony and Capital One stand to benefit if credit losses stabilize. Elsewhere, our stake in Goldman Sachs Group, a leader in the investment banking & brokerage segment, declined as low volatility pressured trading activity. Market share losses and delays in regulatory reform further hampered the stock's performance. Goldman and Capital One were among our largest holdings at period end. Q: What's your outlook, Chris, for the sector and fund at period end Consensus expectations seem to be that we'll see a slow and prolonged economic recovery, with unemployment continuing to edge lower the rest of If so, the Fed likely will proceed with its plans to edge interest rates higher and shrink its balance sheet. This backdrop bodes well for the sector, particularly for lenders. Plus, I think newly appointed pro-business leaders in Washington could help deliver regulatory relief. Lastly, the sector's earnings and revenue outlook generally seems stable, and valuations look attractive relative to other sectors that have posted much stronger year-to-date gains. However, it has become increasingly difficult to find higherquality financials at reasonable prices because valuations, in an absolute sense, seem elevated. My plan is to look for buying opportunities when I see higher-quality stocks selling off because of near-term controversy. The fund ended the period with a higher stake in the investment banking & brokerage group, primarily online brokers; a reduced position in diversified banks, the proceeds of which went into smaller regional banks; and more exposure to asset management & custody banks. 3 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

4 LARGEST CONTRIBUTORS VS. BENCHMARK Chris Lee on lessons from the financial crisis: "Roughly 10 years ago, when the last financial crisis began, I was managing Fidelity Advisor Electronics Fund. One lesson I learned is that regardless of what sectors or types of stocks you're investing in, it's important to think about the big picture and be aware of what's driving the market and economies. "Covering semiconductors, I wasn't paying enough attention to the shape of the yield curve or other elements of the broader economy that, with hindsight, presented some clues about what was to come. Although I'm still a bottom-up investor, I've become much more attuned to the macroeconomic backdrop. "The second lesson: be flexible. When there's a lot of fear in the market and most investors are selling stocks, you can often find good buying opportunities. I'm always checking to see if it's sentiment or fundamentals that are pressuring the share price because if it's the former, the stock will likely bounce back. But you have to be willing to be flexible and patient. Our electronics fund made money because we were buying when everyone else was selling, and we were willing to wait. "The last lesson: be open-minded. Each crisis is different. It's natural to look back at precisely what happened last time in order to prevent history from repeating itself. But I think the likelihood of housing being the source of the next financial crisis is probably pretty low, especially because lending standards have become much stricter. In my view, the next downturn will probably be brought on by other issues, such as shadow (unregulated) banking, China or the reach for yield in a low interest rate environment."

6 PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Variable annuity contracts are issued by insurance companies through separate accounts that are part of the insurer. The value of a variable annuity contract depends on the values of units of subaccounts of the separate account. Each subaccount purchases shares of a corresponding mutual fund. Subaccount investment performance is based on the performance of the mutual fund in which it invests, less insurance company charges made against the assets of the separate account. A subaccount is not a mutual fund. The information provided in this Performance Summary contains performance information for the fund, or class, and each variable subaccount, with comparisons over different time periods to the fund's relevant benchmarks including an appropriate index as well as a group of similar funds whose average returns are compiled and monitored by an independent mutual fund research company. Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of return and are not a class' year-by-year results, which fluctuated over the periods shown. Fund 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 fund performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. The performance table also contains performance information for certain insurance company subaccounts that invest in the fund. Each variable subaccount's performance, as shown, is net of all fees and expenses, including those charges imposed by your insurance company. Seeing the returns over different time periods can help you assess the performance against relevant measurements and across multiple market environments. The performance information includes average annual total returns and cumulative total returns and is further explained in this section.* Investing in a variable annuity involves risk of loss investment returns, contract value, and, for variable income annuities, payment amounts are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Withdrawals of taxable amounts from an annuity are subject to ordinary income tax, and, if taken before age 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted below. An investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
