Please visit www.fidelity.com/proxies to determine the status of this scheduled Meeting.
<R>On July 31, 2010 there were 10,934,292 shares of the fund issued and outstanding.</R>
<R>As of July 31, 2010, the nominees and officers of the trust owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of the fund's outstanding shares.</R>
<R>To the knowledge of the trust, no shareholder owned of record or beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the fund on that date.</R>
FMR has advised the trust that certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate. To the extent that FMR or an FMR affiliate has discretion to vote, these shares will be voted at the Meeting FOR each proposal. Otherwise, these shares will be voted in accordance with the plan or agreement governing the shares. Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.
Shareholders of record at the close of business on September 20, 2010 will be entitled to vote at the Meeting. Each such shareholder will be entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value held on that date, with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote.
For a free copy of the fund's annual report for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2010 call 1-800-544-8544, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, or write to FDC at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.
VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of Proposals 1, 2, and 3requires the affirmative vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" of thefund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), the vote of a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. With respect to each Proposal, votes to ABSTAIN and broker non-votes will have the same effect as votes cast AGAINST the Proposal.
If Proposals 1 and 2 are approved, the fund will compare its performance to the S&P® Consumer Finance Index and will be renamed Consumer Finance Portfolio.
The Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, recommends modifying Home Finance Portfolio so that its investment policies include all types of consumer finance, such as auto loans, student loans, or credit cards, in addition to mortgages or related services. Broadening the fund's investment focus will result in a fund with more diverse holdings and provide greater exposure to faster growing industries like consumer finance, while reducing exposure to slower growing industries like mortgage finance. In addition, in order to preserve flexibility, the fund will change from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund. This change would allow the fund to invest more of its assets in fewer issuers.
The fund's investment universe has shrunk substantially in recent years, and FMR believes the fund's narrow investment focus is unlikely to remain viable over the long term given the contraction in the home finance market.
Broadening the fund's focus to include companies involved in all types of consumer finance will expand the universe of potential investment opportunities. A broader investment theme may also enhance the fund's appeal, which could attract new investors, increase the fund's asset size, and potentially lower fund expenses over time. If shareholders do not approve the fundamental policy changes FMR will consider recommending other options to the fund's Board of Trustees, including liquidation or merger.
Currently, the fund invests primarily in companies providing mortgages and other consumer loans and related services associated with home finance. These companies include, for example, financial institutions providing mortgages and mortgage-related services.
If shareholders approve the Proposals that follow, the fund will broaden its focus to invest primarily in companies providing products or services associated with consumer finance. These companies may include, for example, financial institutions providing auto loans, credit cards, mortgages, student loans, or services related to these activities.
<R>The consumer finance industry can be significantly affected by governmental regulation, changing economic conditions, demand for consumer loans, interest rate changes and refinancing activity. Profitability can be largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and the rate of consumer debt defaults, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers can negatively affect the consumer finance industry. Companies in the consumer finance industry are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which can change frequently and may adversely affect the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain, or may affect them in other ways that are unforeseeable.</R>
In addition, if Proposals 1 and 2 are approved by shareholders, the fund will be renamed Consumer Finance Portfolio and the fund's benchmark will change from the MSCI® U.S. IM Thrifts & Mortgage Finance 25/50 Index to the S&P Consumer Finance Index. This new name will better reflect the fund's new investment focus and the new benchmark will provide shareholders with a more meaningful benchmark they can use to evaluate performance. The S&P Consumer Finance Index includes 50 of the largest companies trading on the U.S. stock exchanges whose primary business is related to consumer finance.
Top ten holdings and index holdings categories for the fund's current and proposed benchmark index are shown on the next page. A fund's benchmark index is illustrative of its potential investment universe, and the top ten holdings and index holdings categories comparison provides some indication of how the fund's investment universe may change. The fund may or may not hold any of the securities named on the next page.

The MSCI U.S. IM Thrifts & Mortgage Finance 25/50 Index is a modified market capitalization-weighted index of stocks designed to measure the performance of Thrifts & Mortgage Finance companies in the MSCI U.S. Investable Market 2500 Index. Index returns shown for periods prior to January 1, 2010 are returns of the MSCI U.S. Investable Market Thrifts & Mortgage Finance Index. The MSCI U.S. Investable Market Thrifts & Mortgage Finance Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of stocks designed to measure the performance of Thrifts & Mortgage Finance companies in the MSCI U.S. Investable Market 2500 Index. The inception date of the MSCI U.S. Investable Market Thrifts & Mortgage Finance Index is April 30, 2003. The S&P Consumer Finance Index includes 50 of the largest companies trading on the U.S. stock exchanges whose primary business is related to consumer finance.
During the periods shown in the chart: | Highest Return | Lowest Return |
Home Finance Portfolio | 30.96% | -25.20% |
MSCI U.S. IM Thrifts & Mortgage Finance 25/50 Index | 15.81% | -40.59% |
S&P Consumer Finance Index | 34.99% | -28.17% |
The fund will compare its performance to the S&P Consumer Finance Index and be renamed Consumer Finance Portfolio, and its new policies will take effect on the first day of the month following shareholder approval.
If Proposals 1 and 2 are approved, the fund also will change its name test policy. The fund's current name test policy is to normally invest at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in providing mortgages and other consumer loans and related services associated with home finance. The fund's new name test policy will be to normally invest at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in providing products and services associated with consumer finance.
The changes to the fund's benchmark, name, and name test policy will not take effect unless Proposals 1 and 2 are approved. If Proposals 1 and 2 are approved, these changes will take place regardless of whether Proposal 3 is approved.
1. To modify the fund's fundamental "invests primarily" policy (the investment policy concerning the fund's primary investments).
The fund's current fundamental investment policy concerning its primary investments states that the fund "invests primarily in companies providing mortgages and other consumer loans and related services associated with home finance."
The Trustees recommend that shareholders of the fund vote to modify this fundamental investment policy to state that the fund "invests primarily in companies providing [mortgages and other consumer loans and related services associated with home finance]products and services associated with consumer finance." (proposed additional language isunderlined, deleted language is [bracketed]).
The primary purpose of the proposal is to facilitate positioning the fund to broaden its investment policies, as explained above. If the proposal is approved, the modified fundamental investment policy cannot be changed again without the approval of shareholders.
CONCLUSION. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the Proposal. Proposals 1 and 2 are contingent proposals, so if shareholders of the fund approve only one of those proposals, the fundamental policy change approved will not take effect because the other proposal was not also approved. Neither Proposal 1 nor 2 are contingent upon proposal 3, so if shareholders of the fund approve Proposals 1 and 2 but not Proposal 3, the fundamental policy changes approved will still take effect.
2. To modify the fund's fundamental concentration policy.
The fund's current fundamental investment policy concerning the concentration of its investments within a single industry states: "The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the thrifts and mortgage finance industries."
The Trustees recommend that shareholders of the fund vote to modify this fundamental investment policy to state: "The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the [thrifts and mortgage finance industries]consumer finance industry." (proposed additional language isunderlined, deleted language is [bracketed]).
The primary purpose of the proposal is to facilitate positioning the fund to broaden its investment policies, as explained above. If the proposal is approved, the modified fundamental concentration policy cannot be changed again without the approval of shareholders.
CONCLUSION. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the Proposal. Proposals 1 and 2 are contingent proposals, so if shareholders of the fund approve only one of those proposals, the fundamental policy change approved will not take effect because the other proposal was not also approved. Neither Proposal 1 nor 2 are contingent upon proposal 3, so if shareholders of the fund approve Proposals 1 and 2 but not Proposal 3, the fundamental policy changes approved will still take effect.
3. To change the fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund.
The Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, has approved, and recommends that the shareholders of the fund approve, the elimination of the fund's fundamental policy concerning diversification so that the fund would be allowed to operate as a "non-diversified" fund. This change would mean that the fund would be able to focus its investments more heavily in securities of fewer issuers, assuming shareholders approve this proposal.
Generally, diversification reduces risk and non-diversification increases risk. For an extended period of time, the fund has operated as a diversified fund. You are being asked to change the fund from diversified, to non-diversified, or to make it potentially a riskier fund.
The point of this proposal is to empower the fund's investment manager - FMR - to decide to allocate risk in relation to expected return with the freedom to invest larger portions of the fund's portfolio in a single issuer - potentially up to 25% in one issuer, and potentially as much as 25% in a second issuer.
This flexibility will allow the fund to take over 5% positions that in the aggregate exceed 25% of fund assets. FMR believes that this increased investment flexibility may provide opportunities to enhance the fund's performance; however, if FMR invests a significant percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer, the fund's performance would be closely tied to the market value of that issuer, and could be more volatile (riskier) than the performance of diversified funds. Investing a larger percentage of the fund's assets in a single issuer's securities increases the fund's exposure to credit and other risks associated with that issuer's financial condition and business operations. FMR will use this increased flexibility to acquire larger positions in the securities of a single issuer only if and when it believes doing so justifies the risks involved.
The fund currently is "diversified," as defined in the 1940 Act. As a 1940 Act diversified fund, the fund must invest at least 75% of its assets so that no more than 5% of its total assets is invested in the securities of any issuer. As to the remaining 25% of total assets, there is no limitation on the amount of assets the fund may invest in a single issuer. The principal difference between a diversified fund and a non-diversified fund is that a non-diversified fund may invest over 5% of assets in a greater number of issuers.
The fund's current fundamental diversification limitation is as follows:
"The fund may not with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies) if, as a result, (a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer."
Because the above investment policy is fundamental, it cannot be changed or eliminated without shareholder approval. The Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, recommend that shareholders vote to eliminate the above limitation.
If shareholders approve this proposal, FMR may operate the fund as non-diversified or it may not. FMR will reserve the freedom of action to operate the fund as non-diversified only if and when it would be in shareholders' best interests to do so, provided that if FMR does not operate the fund as non-diversified within three years of shareholder approval, 1940 Act rules will require FMR to again seek shareholder approval to reserve the freedom of action to operate the fund as non-diversified.
If shareholders approve this proposal, the Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, intend to adopt the following non-fundamental limitation concerning diversification:
"In order to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the fund currently intends to comply with certain diversification limits imposed by Subchapter M."
Under Subchapter M (the tax code), the fund is now (and will remain) restricted to holding 25% of its assets in any one issuer and to holding no more than two 25% positions. The tax code requirements are generally applied at the end of each quarter of the fund's taxable year.
The proposal would - as a legal matter - also allow the fund to hold a greater number of over 10% positions in the voting securities of an issuer. FMR does not currently expect that approval of this proposal will materially affect the way in which the fund is managed with regard to the number of over 10% positions.
Conclusion.The Trustees recommend voting FOR the Proposal. If this Proposal is not approved by the shareholders of the fund, the fund will continue to operate as a diversified fund. Proposal 3 is not contingent upon Proposals 1 and 2, so if shareholders of the fund approve Proposal 3 it will take effect regardless of whether shareholders of the fund approve Proposals 1 and 2.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention that proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons therein designated.
SUBMISSION OF CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
The trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the Fund, attention "Fund Shareholder Meetings," 82 Devonshire Street, Mailzone V10A, Boston, Massachusetts 02109. Proposals must be received a reasonable time before the fund begins to print and send its proxy materials to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the meeting. Timely submission of a proposal does not, however, necessarily mean the proposal will be included. With respect to proposals submitted on an untimely basis and presented at a shareholder meeting, persons named as proxy agents will vote in their discretion.

Home Finance Portfolio
Dear Shareholder:
A special meeting of shareholders of Home Finance Portfolio will be held on November 16, 2010. The purpose of the meeting is to provide you with the opportunity to vote on three important proposals that affect the fund and your investment in it. As a shareholder, you have the opportunity to voice your opinion on the matters that affect your fund. This package contains information about the proposals and the materials to use when casting your vote.
Please read the enclosed materials and cast your vote on the proxy card(s).Please vote your shares promptly. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be.
The proposals have been carefully reviewed by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees, most of whom are not affiliated with Fidelity, are responsible for protecting your interests as a shareholder. The Trustees believe these proposals are in the interests of shareholders. They recommend that you votefor each proposal.
The following Q&A is provided to assist you in understanding the proposals. Each of the proposals is described in greater detail in the enclosed proxy statement.
Voting is quick and easy. Everything you need is enclosed. To cast your vote, simply complete the proxy card(s) enclosed in this package. Be sure to sign the card(s) before mailing it in the postage-paid envelope. You may also vote your shares by touch-tone telephone or through the Internet. Simply call the toll-free number or visit the web site indicated on your proxy card(s), enter the control number found on the card(s), and follow the recorded or online instructions.
If you have any questions before you vote, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544. We'll be glad to help you get your vote in quickly. Thank you for your participation in this important initiative.
Sincerely,
(The chairman's signature appears here.)
Edward C. Johnson 3d
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposals
Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.
What proposalsam I being asked to vote on?
You are being asked to modify certain fundamental policies in an effort to broaden the focus of Home Finance Portfolio to include companies providing products and services associated with consumer finance, such as auto loans, credit cards, student loans or services related to these activities, in addition to those that provide mortgages or related services. Specifically, you are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
1. To modify the fund's fundamental "invests primarily" policy (the investment policy concerning the fund's primary investments).
2. To modify the fund's fundamental concentration policy.
3. To change the fund from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund.
What will happen to the Fund if the proposals are approved?
If the proposals are approved by shareholders, the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in providing products and services associated with consumer finance, and will have the flexibility to invest a significant portion of its assets in a small number of individual issuers. The fund also will be renamed Consumer Finance Portfolio and will adopt a new supplemental performance benchmark, the S&P® Consumer Finance Index. We believe this new name will reflect the fund's new investment focus and the new benchmark will provide shareholders with a more meaningful benchmark they can use to evaluate performance.
Will these changes affect the way the fund is managed?
Yes, if approved by shareholders, the fund will adopt revised investment policies that broaden its focus from companies that provide mortgages or related services, to also include those that engage in consumer lending activities such as auto loans, student loans or credit cards or services related to these activities.
If shareholders approve the third proposal, the fund will change from a diversified fund to a non-diversified fund, giving the fund greater investment flexibility and the ability to focus its investments more heavily in securities of fewer issuers. Most other Fidelity Select Portfolios are also non-diversified.
The fund's investment objective - to seek capital appreciation - will not change.
Why are you proposing these changes?
The fund's investment universe has shrunk substantially in recent years. As evidence of this change, the market capitalization of the MSCI® U.S. IM Thrifts & Mortgage Finance 25/50 Index dropped from $223 billion in January 2007 to $41 billion as of May 2010, limiting the investment opportunities within the fund's current universe. Fidelity believes that, given the contraction in the home finance market, the fund and its shareholders will benefit from a broadened focus and larger array of investment opportunities.
When will these changes be effective?
If approved by shareholders, we expect that these changes will take effect on December 1, 2010, or on the first day of the month following shareholder approval of the proposals in the proxy statement.
Do all of the proposals need to be approved in order for the fund to change?
No. Proposals 1 and 2 are contingent proposals, so if shareholders of the fund approve only one of those proposals, the fundamental policy change approved will not take effect because the other contingent proposal was not also approved. However, neither proposal 1 nor 2 is contingent upon proposal 3, so if shareholders of the fund approve proposals 1 and 2 but not proposal 3, the fundamental policy changes approved will still take effect. If shareholders approve proposal 3, it will take effect regardless of whether shareholders approve proposals 1 and 2.
Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved the proposals?
Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposals and recommends that you vote to approvethem.
I also received an "Important Notice Regarding Change in Investment Policy." What is this?
This separate notice pertains to a change in the fund's "name test" policy. The name test policy requires the fund to invest at least 80% of its assets in investments suggested by its name. We are legally required to give shareholders at least 60 days' advance notice of a change in a fund's name test policy. If proposals 1 and 2 are approved by shareholders, the proposed change in the fund's name test policy will take effect on the first day of the month following shareholder approval of the proposals contained in the proxy statement.
What if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled shareholder meeting date or if the proposals are not approved?
To facilitate receiving a sufficient number of votes, we will need to take further action. D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, or Fidelity, may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, we encourage shareholders to vote as soon as they review the enclosed proxy materials to avoid additional mailings or telephone calls.
If there are not sufficient votes to approve the proposals by the time of the shareholder meeting (November 16, 2010), the meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxy votes.
Please be advised that if shareholders do not approve the proposals, FMR and the Board of Trustees will evaluate other possible options for the fund, potentially including liquidation or merger.
Who is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?
D.F. King is a third party proxy vendor that Fidelity hires to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached. If quorum is not attained, the meeting may adjourn to a future date. Fidelity attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to clients who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your vote.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset valueyou own of the fund on the record date (with fractional dollar amounts entitled to a proportional fractional vote). The record date is September 20, 2010.
How do I vote my shares?
You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. In addition, you may vote through the internet by visiting the web site indicated on your proxy card and following the on-line instructions. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Fidelity at1-800-544-8544.
How do I sign the proxy card?
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card.
Joint Accounts: Either owner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, "Ann B. Collins, Trustee."
