Fidelity Real Estate Investment Portfolio

1 QUARTERLY FUND REVIEW AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2017 Fidelity Real Estate Investment Investment Approach Fidelity Real Estate Investment seeks above-average income and long-term capital growth, consistent with reasonable investment risk, by investing in securities of companies that own and, in most cases, operate commercial real estate properties. Investment in real estate securities has the potential to provide portfolio diversification, consistent income generation, total return and the ability to outpace inflation. We believe real estate investment trusts (REITs) represent a balance between real estate and stocks, and that recognizing attributes of both is key to identifying opportunities to outperform. Through rigorous bottom-up research from both Fidelity's dedicated real estate team and the firm's broader research resources, we strive to add value through security selection within a disciplined risk framework. Our process seeks to determine the relative attractiveness of individual REITs and will try to take advantage of pricing discrepancies in the market.

FUND INFORMATION Manager(s): Steve Buller Trading Symbol: FRESX Start Date: November 17, 1986 Size (in millions): $4, Morningstar Category: Fund Real Estate Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks. Real Estate is a cyclical industry that is sensitive to interest rates, economic conditions (both nationally and locally), property tax rates, and other factors. The fund may have additional volatility because it can invest a significant portion of assets in securities of a small number of individual issuers. Not FDIC Insured May Lose Value No Bank Guarantee

2 Market Review Real estate investment trusts (REITs) were modestly positive performers in the final quarter of 2017, with the Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Securities SM gaining 1.98%. That return significantly trailed the broader U.S. equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 index, which rose 6.64%. The fundamental backdrop for REITs remained generally favorable for the quarter. Continued economic strength and employment gains were behind the healthy demand for commercial properties. The rate of fundamental improvement in the REIT market has been declining in recent years, however, reflecting increasing supply among certain types of properties, such as coastal apartments, assisted-living facilities and selected office markets. Once again, REIT investors saw significant differences in how certain property types performed. During the quarter, for example, retail REITs fared best, bouncing back from weak results earlier in 2017, as investors became more optimistic about the potential for corporate actions unlocking value in the sector. In contrast, the health care REIT sector continued to struggle, reflecting concern about the senior-housing industry, with a combination of market headwinds and areas of increasing supply weighing on performance.

Residential -1.77% 13 Retail 0.91% 12 Extra Space Storage, Inc. Self Storage 1.13% 9 Equity Residential (SBI) Residential -1.58% 8 * 1 basis point = 0.01%. Performance Review For the three months ending December 31, 2017, the fund returned 1.28%, trailing the 1.98% return of the benchmark Dow Jones U.S. Select Real Estate Securities SM. Compared with the index, the fund was hampered the most by its positioning in the retail category, where a combination of weak security selection and an unhelpful underweight in the group detracted from results. After significant underperformance for most of 2017, retail REITs bounced back from beaten-down levels. On the positive side, security selection among residential REITs added value. On an individual basis, the fund's detractors included mall operators Macerich and Taubman Centers, both strongperforming benchmark components that we either owned for a portion of the period (Macerich) or not at all (Taubman) this quarter. As activist investors became involved at both companies, the market bid up their shares. One retail REIT that we did overweight, GGP, however, was a strong contributor for the fund. This mall owner saw its shares gain 15%, with much of the increase coming in November, after the company agreed to be fully acquired by Brookfield Property, which already owned a roughly one-third stake in GGP. In the struggling health care REIT sector, Ventas detracted from our relative performance. Ventas, a leading operator of seniorhousing facilities, among other health care properties, and one of our largest holdings at quarter end, returned about -7%. On the positive side, the fund lacked exposure to benchmark component HCP (-5%) another health care REIT with exposure to the seniorhousing industry. Other relative detractors included Alexandria Real Estate (+11%), an owner of laboratory space for life sciences companies and an index component we declined to own, and Duke Realty (-2%), an operator of warehouse properties that gave back some performance after very strong gains earlier in the year. Meanwhile, the fund benefited from a lack of a position in poorperforming benchmark component Mid-America Apartment Communities (-5%) as well as an overweighting in self-storage REIT Extra Space Storage, a stock that returned 10%.

3 Outlook and Positioning Our goal is for individual stock picking to be the primary driver of the fund's long-term relative performance. Increasingly, however, we have been finding opportunities to establish greater relative sector over- and underweightings, driven by a combination of bottom-up (stock-by-stock) insights and top-down perspectives. As a result of our increasingly sector-focused investment positioning, the fund was underweighted in retail and hotel REITs and overweighted in industrial and residential REITs this quarter. Our retail underweight is based on: 1) an excessive amount of retail space in the U.S.; 2) the growth of e-commerce; and 3) a potential repricing of retail real estate in light of negative supply and demand dynamics. In particular, we have chosen to underweight many mall owners. We finished the quarter less underweighted among retail strip center REITs, which we believe will be a bit more protected in light of the essential goods they tend to sell. In contrast to this retail underweight, the fund was overweight in industrial REITs, as they benefit from the move away from brickand-mortar retail to e-commerce. Following this theme, the fund's largest position at quarter end was Prologis, while Duke Realty and DCT were other significant overweights and large holdings in the portfolio. The fund's underweight in hotels reflected our concerns about competitive supply in the industry; demand growth remains mixed, even with the improving economy; and competition from Internet-based, private-rental sites, such as Airbnb, has risen. The fund's overweight in residential REITs came primarily from exposure to manufactured housing and apartment property owners. We have long been overweight in manufactured housing due to its lack of competitive supply and low tenant turnover. Looking ahead, we have a modestly favorable outlook for the REIT market, reflecting sustained economic growth and constrained new supply in most sectors, as well as REITs' ready access to capital and generally attractive valuations across most property types. In 2017, REITs significantly underperformed growth stocks as REITs' income and defensive characteristics remained out of favor. We see some potential similarities to the market environment of , when REITs massively underperformed in a strong environment for technology stocks. In our opinion, investors may now be overlooking relatively "boring," incomeoriented investments such as REITs. But if broader equities start to slow down and investors regain their interest in these types of investments, we would expect REITs to enjoy more visibility from investors.

6 3-YEAR RISK/RETURN STATISTICS Beta is a measure of the volatility of a fund relative to its benchmark index. A beta greater (less) than 1 is more (less) volatile than the index. Information Ratio measures a fund's active return (fund's average monthly return minus the benchmark's average monthly return) in relation to the volatility of its active returns. R-Squared measures how a fund's performance correlates with a benchmark index's performance and shows what portion of it can be explained by the performance of the overall market/index. R- Squared ranges from 0, meaning no correlation, to 1, meaning perfect correlation. An R-Squared value of less than 0.5 indicates that annualized alpha and beta are not reliable performance statistics. Sharpe Ratio is a measure of historical risk-adjusted performance. It is calculated by dividing the fund's excess returns (the fund's average annual return for the period minus the 3-month "risk free" return rate) and dividing it by the standard deviation of the fund's returns. The higher the ratio, the better the fund's return per unit of risk. The three month "risk free" rate used is the 90-day Treasury Bill rate. Standard Deviation is a statistical measurement of the dispersion of a fund's return over a specified time period. Fidelity calculates standard deviations by comparing a fund's monthly returns to its average monthly return over a 36-month period, and then annualizes the number. Investors may examine historical standard deviation in conjunction with historical returns to decide whether a fund's volatility would have been acceptable given the returns it would have produced. A higher standard deviation indicates a wider dispersion of past returns and thus greater historical volatility. Standard deviation does not indicate how the fund actually performed, but merely indicates the volatility of its returns over time. Tracking Error is the divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark, creating an unexpected profit or loss.
