1 Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio Key Takeaways For the semiannual reporting period ending June 30, 2017, the fund's share classes gained roughly 19%, considerably ahead of the 13.99% return of the benchmark MSCI EAFE Index. Amid an improving economic backdrop for the eurozone, the first six months of 2017 provided a good environment for Portfolio Manager Vincent Montemaggiore's focus on buying high-quality businesses at attractive valuations. Versus the benchmark, stock selection in the United Kingdom, Japan and Europe ex U.K. delivered the greatest boost to relative performance. From a sector standpoint, picks in financials, industrials and consumer discretionary lifted results most. Stock selection in Denmark and non-benchmark exposure to Malta detracted modestly from relative performance. Among sectors, picks in telecommunication services nicked us. Despite valuations near the high end of their historical ranges, Vince continues to find attractive opportunities, particularly in domestically oriented U.K. companies and Japan-based firms positioned to benefit from the tight labor market there. MARKET RECAP For the first half of 2017, 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-market currencies, helping international equities spearhead the global market rally. In this environment, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex USA Index returned 14.24% for the six months, well ahead of U.S. counterparts. Favorable election results in France and elsewhere suggested ebbing political uncertainty and nearterm risk in the eurozone, and Europe (+18%) far outpaced the U.K. (+10%). Britain, meanwhile, faced more-mixed conditions ahead of its anticipated exit from the European Union. Japan (+10%), despite continued easing by its central bank, lagged the rest of the Asia Pacific group (+16%). Commodity-price volatility whipsawed resource-rich Canada (+4%), but the emergingmarkets group (+18%) boomed. Among sectors, information technology (+30%) powered to the top amid a broad-based surge led by major Chinese internet names. Elsewhere, defensive-oriented consumer staples (+17%) and the more cyclical industrials (+17%) sector both outperformed. Energy (-3%) was the sole sector to post a negative, with double-digit gainers materials (+11%) and telecommunication services (+11%) the next-closest laggards.

2 Q&A An interview with Portfolio Manager Vincent Montemaggiore Fund Facts Vincent Montemaggiore Lead Manager Start Date: January 28, 1987 Size (in millions): $1, Investment Approach Fidelity VIP Overseas Portfolio is a diversified international equity strategy that seeks long-term capital growth. The fund's philosophy centers around owning high-quality companies purchased at attractive prices that can outperform the market over the long term, given their ability to compound value through the re-investment of earnings back into the business at attractive returns. By focusing on buying these companies at inexpensive valuations, we attempt to build in an inherent margin of safety in the investment. We particularly favor firms with unique business models that are able to generate sustainably high returns on capital through a full business cycle and are trading at a discount to their intrinsic (fair) value based on several conservative valuation frameworks. We strive to uncover these companies through in-depth fundamental analysis, working in concert with Fidelity's global research team, as well as by leveraging the fund managers' own independent analysis. Q: How did the fund perform for the six months ending June 30, 2017, Vince The fund's share classes posted gains of roughly 19%, considerably ahead of the 13.99% return of the MSCI EAFE Index. The fund also topped the peer group average, albeit by a smaller margin. Amid an improving economic backdrop for the eurozone, the first six months of 2017 provided a good environment for my focus on buying highquality businesses at what I consider attractive valuations. Looking back a full year, the fund gained roughly 21%, a bit better than the MSCI benchmark return and considerably above the peer average. Q: Please tell us more about the investment backdrop the past six months. Versus the United States, several factors came together to make stocks in the MSCI benchmark attractive to investors. For one thing, the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 marked the first time in about a decade that economic growth in the eurozone outpaced U.S. growth in two consecutive quarters. At the same time, after a huge fourth-quarter rally prompted by the Republican victory in the U.S. presidential election, the U.S. dollar weakened against a basket of foreign currencies through the first six months of 2017, as investors began to question whether President Trump could follow through on his pro-business campaign platform. A weaker dollar lifts the value of foreign stocks quoted in greenbacks. Finally, European markets got a boost from Emmanuel Macron's strong showing in the first round of France's presidential voting, which took place on April 23. Macron subsequently won the election and, in June, also saw his party win a clear majority in Parliament, leading to growing optimism about Macron's chances of implementing his probusiness platform. Q: What helped most versus the benchmark Stock selection in the United Kingdom, Japan and Europe ex U.K. delivered the greatest boost to performance relative to the MSCI EAFE benchmark. From a sector standpoint, 2 For definitions, fund risks and other important information, please see the Definitions and Important Information section of this Q&A.

3 picks in financials, industrials and consumer discretionary lifted results most. Notably, all major geographical regions in the benchmark and eight of 11 market sectors added value, so the positive impact from active management was quite consistent this period. I'll also note that, among the remaining sectors, negative overall effects were either negligible or, in the case of telecommunication services, slight. At the stock level, two of the fund's largest relative contributors were weak-performing index names in the energy sector that I avoided: Netherlands-based Royal Dutch Shell and the U.K.'s BP. Prices for crude oil and natural gas trended lower during the six months, hampering the returns of both stocks. Royal Dutch shares also suffered from weaker-thanexpected fourth-quarter earnings. In February, the company announced its worst annual profit in more than a decade, as it continued to sell off assets while integrating the operations of LNG (liquefied natural gas) provider BG Group, acquired in early Q: What about contributors in other sectors Within the consumer discretionary sector, avoiding sizable Japan-based index component Toyota Motor was the right call, as the stock struggled this period. Concerned that U.S. auto sales might be nearing a peak, investors rotated out of automotive stocks. We saw late-cycle behavior across all the major players in this industry in the form of increased sales incentives, which squeezed profit margins. In addition, the share prices of auto companies like Toyota suffered from uncertainty over what role they'll play as electric vehicles become more mainstream. Among overweighted positions, France-based asset manager Amundi stood out. Investors began to appreciate the attractiveness of its Pioneer Investments acquisition announced in December 2016 which could materially boost the company's earnings potential. In addition, Amundi saw a pickup in high-margin French retail capital inflows, which helped drive profit growth. corruption and bribery in the Middle East. I deemed both of these risks to be more than reflected in the company's recent share price and added to the position. Another non-benchmark stock that weighed on relative results was U.K.-based Kambi Group, a business-tobusiness provider of turnkey sports-betting solutions. The stock is a recent spinoff from Unibet a Stockholm-based sports-betting firm. In an effort to diversify and grow its customer base, the company is aggressively spending to build out its platform and is taking longer than anticipated to attract new customers. This delay, coupled with weakness in the sports-betting industry this period, resulted in a weak stock price. Q: What is your outlook as of June 30 Although European valuations are at the high end of their historical range, the earnings recovery has been modest thus far. This could be changing for the better, however. While a cyclical rebound in Europe is not a key part of the thesis underpinning my holdings, the fund owns many names that might benefit. That said, almost all of my time is spent on a bottom-up search for high-quality businesses that are trading at what I consider attractive valuations. Today, I'm finding opportunities among domestically oriented U.K. firms, businesses benefiting from the demographically driven, structurally tight Japanese labor market, Europe-based defense contractors, cash-handling businesses, domestic European cyclicals and, as I discuss later, some highquality emerging-markets banks. Q: What about negatives Stock selection in Denmark and non-benchmark exposure to Malta were modest detractors to relative performance. Among individual holdings, a non-benchmark position in U.K.-based oilfield-services provider John Wood Group weighed on the fund's relative results. A lower oil price resulted in less offshore work in the North Sea region, and a more difficult pricing environment hampered the company's financial results. In addition, the company appeared to have had a relationship with a firm accused of 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 Vince Montemaggiore on emergingmarkets (EM) banks: "International funds I manage have historically had a small weighting in emerging markets. Being a value investor with a focus on high-quality business models, I've always struggled with the fact that the best EM businesses tend to be priced accordingly. "On the other hand, many EM stocks are cheap for a good reason often due to being issued by stateowned entities with minimal transparency and little regard for shareholder value. "More recently, though, I've found interesting opportunities in a select few high-quality EM banks, several of which have been managed well through the business cycle. "These banks have good corporate governance and strong deposit franchises. Moreover, they operate in markets dominated by only a few players, which creates a rational competitive environment allowing them to manage through volatile economic backdrops. "These attributes have afforded certain banks an ability to compound value at rates well into the double digits, with a consistently high return on tangible equity. "With several of these banks now sporting 12- month forward pricing around 10 times earnings and price-to-book ratios near the low end of their historical ranges, I think the group is an interesting place to look for new ideas."

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.
