1 Fidelity VIP Freedom Funds Key Takeaways For the semiannual reporting period ending June 0, 207, VIP Freedom Fund share classes posted gains ranging roughly from % to %. Each Fund outperformed its respective Composite index, with excess returns of between and percentage points. Both active allocation decisions and bottom-up results among underlying investments added value versus Composites, with performance from underlying managers the larger factor. The top-down strategy of underweighting fixed-income assets in favor of equities added substantial value. Within the equity asset class, favoring non-u.s. developed-markets (DM) and emergingmarkets (EM) equity over U.S. equity helped further. FUND NAMES VIP Freedom Income VIP Freedom 200 VIP Freedom 200 VIP Freedom 20 VIP Freedom 2020 VIP Freedom 202 VIP Freedom 200 Among underlying investments, large-cap growth strategies added most to relative results. In particular, the VIP Overseas, Growth and Emerging Markets portfolios well outpaced their specific benchmarks and thus contributed most. Indeed, only VIP Growth & Income notably detracted. Versus Composites and given an evolving outlook, Co-Managers Andrew Dierdorf and Brett Sumsion gradually increased the Funds' overweighting to non-u.s. DM equity. They also modestly reduced the fixed-income underweighting although it remains by far the Funds' largest variance from Composites mainly by adding exposure to short-term debt.

2 Market Recap For the first half of 207, synchronized global economic expansion provided support for equities, while flagging commodity prices helped mitigate concern about potential overheating. The U.S. dollar weakened against most major currencies, helping international equities spearhead the global market rally. Around the world, large-cap stocks bested smallcaps, and growth topped value segments. In this environment, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index of global equities gained.72% for the six months ending June 0, 207. Regionally, the U.S. (+9%) rose strongly early in 207 on optimism around President Trump's pro-business stance but later faced headwinds amid tests of his administration's domestic agenda. Favorable election results in France and elsewhere suggested ebbing political uncertainty and near-term risk in the eurozone: Europe (+8%) roughly doubled the U.K. (+9%), as Britain faced more-mixed conditions ahead of its anticipated exit from the European Union. Despite continued central-bank easing, Japan (+0%) lagged the rest of the Asia Pacific group (+6%). Commodity-price volatility whipsawed resource-rich Canada (+4%), but the emerging-markets (EM) group (+8%) boomed in the year's first half. Looking at sectors, information technology (+2%) led the way, boosted by a surge among major U.S. and Chinese internet names. Health care (+6%), particularly in the U.S. and Europe, benefited from strong balance sheets and dividend yields, as well as rising demand for the sector's products and services. Conversely, energy (-8%) posted the sole negative return, with telecommunication services (+2%) and real estate (+0%) the next-closest laggards; the remaining sectors clustered closer to the index result. Amid a decline in long-term interest rates and solid demand for new bond issues the past six months, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index rose 2.27%. Longer rates fell for much of the period, influenced by diminished expectations for U.S. fiscal stimulus, softer inflation data and renewed oil-price weakness. As expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve raised its target rate by a quarter point in June, the third such hike in as many quarters, which served to help flatten the yield curve. Within the Bloomberg Barclays index, investment-grade corporate credit, up.80%, led major market segments; U.S. Treasuries rose just.87%. Outside the index, most riskier, non-core fixed-income segments, including EM and U.S. high-yield debt, led the broader market, whereas inflation-protected bonds lagged.

Investment Approach Fidelity VIP Freedom Funds SM (the Funds) are designed so that the target date referenced in the Fund name is the approximate year when we expect investors to retire and begin gradually withdrawing their investment. Each of the Funds seeks high total return with a secondary objective of principal preservation. Except for Fidelity VIP Freedom Income SM, each Fund's asset allocation strategy becomes increasingly conservative as it approaches its target retirement date and beyond. Ultimately, the Funds are expected to merge with Fidelity VIP Freedom Income SM. The Funds employ a robust investment process focused on helping investors solve the challenge of investing through retirement by leveraging the depth and strength of Fidelity's investment research and resources. An interview with Co- Managers Andrew Dierdorf and Brett Sumsion Q: Brett, how did VIP Freedom Funds perform for the six months ending June 0, 207 B.S. The Funds' share classes posted gains ranging from about % for VIP Freedom Income to roughly % for VIP Freedom 200. Versus its respective Composite index, VIP Freedom Income led by about a percentage point; VIP Freedom 200, by more than 2 percentage points. The Funds also generally finished ahead of their respective peer group averages. Looking back a full year, our performance and relative outperformance was even stronger, with the Funds logging absolute gains of between 6% and 8% that, again, generally outperformed peer averages. (For specific Fund results, please refer to the Fiscal Performance Summary.) Q: Would you please describe the U.S. stockmarket environment the past six months B.S. The bellwether S&P 00 returned 9.4% this period, surging early on amid optimism for President Trump's probusiness agenda. Equity markets leveled off in March, though, as the fledgling administration faced tests of its domestic agenda. The S&P 00 reacted with uncertainty to efforts by Congress to repeal or replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA), but then turned upward through June 0. Among sectors, technology (+7%) fared best, soaring as a handful of major index names posted stellar returns. Health care (+6%) saw an upsurge following the ACA's reprieve. Financials (+7%), though, lagged because sentiment regarding the potential for deregulation and lower taxes faded as the White House turned attention to other initiatives. Rising interest rates hurt so-called "bond proxy" or income-oriented sectors such as real estate (+6%) and telecom services (-%), the latter hampered further by increased competition. Lastly, lower oil prices sent energy (-%) to the bottom of the sector performance rankings. In a stark reversal from 206, growth-oriented stocks handily topped their value counterparts for the first half of 207, according to FTSE Russell; also, large-cap stocks nearly doubled the gain of small-cap stocks.

4 Q: Andrew, how did allocation decisions affect relative performance in the first half of 207 A.D. Versus Composite indexes, our top-down strategy of underweighting fixed-income assets continued to bear fruit. Among equities, overweighting the DM and, in particular, EM asset classes contributed additional value. That said, while favoring non-u.s. over U.S. equity was the correct decision, our U.S. tilt toward value-oriented and broader-cap investments detracted from relative results. Among our fixed-income allocations, I'll note that the highyield asset class outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays bond index. Q: What would you highlight with regard to the Funds' underlying holdings A.D The bulk of our relative outperformance was driven by successes among the Funds' underlying managers. In the U.S. equity sleeve, large-cap growth strategies added most to relative results, most notably VIP Growth (+20%), which tends to emphasize larger stocks and technology-related names, as does VIP Contrafund (+2%), another strong contributor. Among non-u.s. equities, VIP Overseas (+9%) and VIP Emerging Markets (+2%) well outpaced their specific benchmarks and added substantial value. Among our fixed-income investments, VIP Investment Grade Bond (+%) led the Bloomberg Barclays bond index, as did VIP High Income (+4%), though the latter slightly lagged its asset-class benchmark. Indeed, across all underlying holdings, from a selection standpoint, only the U.S. equity sleeve's VIP Growth & Income (+6%) detracted notably; the manager's valuation-conscious investment approach was hampered by a market that favored an increasingly narrow slice of growth companies. modestly reduced the fixed-income underweighting although it remains by far the Funds' largest variance from Composites. We decreased the Funds' allocation to highyield bonds and we added exposure to short-term debt. While past performance does not guarantee future results, it was gratifying to see a general affirmation of our activemanagement philosophy. In constructing multi-asset-class portfolios, we believe the main driver of positive outcomes is strategic asset allocation actively decided, skillfully applied. Active management among underlying investments offers additional potential to outperform indexes, and we think the market environment going forward may provide more opportunity for active managers. We believe the long-term power of incremental and abovebenchmark compounding returns may help shareholders with their most important life goals. We remain committed to ongoing excellence in our targetdate strategies, providing client-focused solutions supported by deep capabilities, expertise and resources across all aspects of the investment process. We believe VIP Freedom Funds' dynamic and diversified investment strategy can provide participants with an effective approach to retirement saving. Q: What is your outlook as of June 0 A.D. In our view, overall potential future risks include a trend toward a reversal in globalization; market volatility as central banks evaluate policy; and a rapidly strengthening U.S. dollar. In addition, we continue to monitor China's economy as well as a number of geopolitical stresses. Later, I'll dig more deeply into some of the underpinnings of this outlook and how it affects the VIP Freedom Funds' strategic and active positioning. Among other changes and in response to our evolving capital-markets views, this period we gradually increased the Funds' overweighting to non-u.s. DM equity. We also 4 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

5 Andrew Dierdorf on positioning: "Ongoing structural shifts are reflected via our quantitative and qualitative assessments for how to position the strategic glide path for VIP Freedom Funds. Similarly, our capital-markets views inform each Fund's active positioning relative to its specific glide path as we work to exploit our active allocation tools. Using what we call a 'gradual contrarian' approach, we tilt the Funds toward where we think they could be rewarded for taking risk over a one- to three-year horizon. To evaluate opportunities, we synthesize information from across Fidelity and through four lenses: Macro Environment: We believe the U.S. economy may be later in the business cycle than non-u.s. DM and EM economies. Recent market performance indicates higher expectations for U.S. growth. Credit conditions are tightening, but we believe employment gains and income expectations should allow continued expansion. We expect Fed tightening to remain gradual, and we see potential for rising inflation. The cyclical path of most DM economies could depend largely on the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policy. Despite signs of stabilization, we think China still faces cyclical headwinds and remains a risk. Stabilization there has benefited other EM and the export sectors of DM economies. Valuation: We view U.S. equities as expensive and EM equity as discounted versus DM equity. Market Sentiment: Often a contrarian indicator, market sentiment remains relatively bearish on commodities and neutral with regard to EM equity. Bottom-Up: Research indicates U.S. corporate earnings remain strong, despite margin pressure. "Our strategic and active asset allocation decisions are intended to add value versus each Fund's Composite index over a full market cycle. Regardless of economic and market conditions, we continue to evaluate and enhance our investment process in the best interest of participants, balancing risk and reward in the context of the Funds' focus on delivering risk-adjusted returns consistent with the needs of retirement investors."

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 9 /2, may be subject to a 0% 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.

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 9 /2, may be subject to a 0% 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.

Freedom Funds are generally expected to reach their most conservative allocation 0 9 years after the target date. Future target allocations for the Freedom Fund featured above may differ from this approximate illustration. 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 9 /2, may be subject to a 0% 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. For month-end performance figures, please visit or call Fidelity. The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results.

Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Month Treasury Bellwether Index is a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of months, excluding zero coupon strips. Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based, market-value-weighted benchmark that measures the performance of the investment grade, U.S. dollardenominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market.

In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining to final maturity, a fixed coupon schedule and at least $00 million in outstanding face value. Defaulted securities are excluded. The index contains all securities of The BofA Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index but caps issuer exposure at 2%. Bloomberg Commodity Index Total Return measures the performance of the commodities market. It consists of exchangetraded futures contracts on physical commodities that are weighted to account for the economic significance and market liquidity of each commodity.

FUND RISKS The fund is subject to risks resulting from the asset allocation decisions of the Investment Adviser. Pursuant to the Adviser's ability to use an active asset allocation strategy, investors may be subject to a different risk profile compared to the fund's neutral asset allocation strategy shown in its glide path. The fund is subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including that of equity and fixed income investments. Fixed income investments entail issuer default and credit risk, inflation risk, and interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall and vice versa). This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. No target date fund is considered a complete retirement program and there is no guarantee and single fund will provide sufficient retirement income at or through retirement. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after the funds' target dates. IMPORTANT FUND INFORMATION Relative positioning data presented in this commentary is based on the fund's primary benchmark (index) unless a secondary benchmark is provided to assess performance.
