Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Automotive Portfolio, Construction and Housing Portfolio, Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, Leisure Portfolio, Multimedia Portfolio, and Retailing Portfolio (the Funds) are non-diversified funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Construction and Housing Portfolio is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of certain issuers domiciled in India. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability included in Other payables and accrued expenses in the accompanying Statement of Assets & Liabilities for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of at period end.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized |
Automotive Portfolio | $ 160,014,915 | $ 21,002,798 | $ (12,396,566) | $ 8,606,232 |
Construction and Housing Portfolio | 145,802,046 | 15,240,378 | (13,932,534) | 1,307,844 |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | 60,635,109 | 4,910,630 | (4,123,582) | 787,048 |
Leisure Portfolio | 206,603,018 | 27,059,745 | (13,655,404) | 13,404,341 |
Multimedia Portfolio | 48,715,335 | 6,464,339 | (7,829,302) | (1,364,963) |
Retailing Portfolio | 153,431,371 | 12,135,670 | (5,055,712) | 7,079,958 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Funds held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Automotive Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Construction and Housing Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Leisure Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Multimedia Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Retailing Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .57% |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Automotive Portfolio | .26% |
Construction and Housing Portfolio | .33% |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | .34% |
Leisure Portfolio | .33% |
Multimedia Portfolio | .34% |
Retailing Portfolio | .30% |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Automotive Portfolio | $ 947 |
Construction and Housing Portfolio | 6,011 |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | 2,599 |
Leisure Portfolio | 7,243 |
Multimedia Portfolio | 289 |
Retailing Portfolio | 7,702 |

6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Automotive Portfolio | $ 44 |
Construction and Housing Portfolio | 135 |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | 55 |
Leisure Portfolio | 296 |
Multimedia Portfolio | 53 |
Retailing Portfolio | 183 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
8. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Funds to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following Funds were in reimbursement during the period:
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement |
Consumer Discretionary Portfolio | 1.15% | $ 1,286 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage | Custody |

Semiannual Report
9. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio was the owner of record of approximately 11% of the total outstanding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio. The VIP FundsManager Portfolios were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 22% of the total outstanding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio. In addition, at the end of the period, PAS U.S. Opportunity Fund of Funds was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio. The PAS Fund of Funds were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 25% of the total outstanding shares of Consumer Discretionary Portfolio.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Automotive Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.

Multimedia Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
Semiannual Report
Retailing Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each of Automotive Portfolio, Construction and Housing Portfolio, Leisure Portfolio, Multimedia Portfolio, and Retailing Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark. For Consumer Discretionary Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it was lower than the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Semiannual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 82,817,426 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (84,873,359) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (2,055,933) |
|
|
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,106,390,565 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $384,629,536 and $427,183,767, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 185,011 | $ 10,387 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 61,042 | 248 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 88,850 | 66,637 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 319,541 | 171,640 |
|
|
| $ 654,444 | $ 248,912 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 68,269 |
Class T | 7,265 |
Class B* | 26,353 |
Class C* | 15,162 |
| $ 117,049 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 202,654 | .27 |
Class T | 41,208 | .34 |
Class B | 30,895 | .35 |

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,313 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,525 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $101,728.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,341 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $95.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Select Consumer Staples
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Semiannual Report
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare the fund's performance. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Consumer Staples (retail class) and Class B of the fund and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Consumer Staples (retail class) and Class B show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
Consumer Staples Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the five-year cumulative total return of Consumer Staples (retail class) compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. The Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of Consumer Staples (retail class) through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Semiannual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued
Consumer Staples Portfolio
The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each class ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for the fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
Semiannual Report
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio, and Natural Resources Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, and Natural Gas Portfolio are non-diversified funds. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Natural Resources Portfolio may also invest in certain precious metals. Certain Funds investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For corporate bonds, pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for Federal | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized |
Energy Portfolio | $ 1,944,226,916 | $ 318,958,380 | $ (329,590,466) | $ (10,632,086) |
Energy Service Portfolio | 1,101,169,966 | 225,470,041 | (143,294,728) | 82,175,313 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | 1,259,882,334 | 119,834,473 | (340,473,009) | (220,638,536) |
Natural Resources Portfolio | 1,279,634,278 | 243,373,850 | (183,383,242) | 59,990,608 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Funds held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Energy Portfolio | 970,824,080 | 920,483,617 |
Energy Service Portfolio | 467,530,751 | 403,533,327 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | 590,686,074 | 612,694,896 |
Natural Resources Portfolio | 537,605,488 | 511,704,913 |
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Energy Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Energy Service Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Natural Gas Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Natural Resources Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Energy Portfolio | .33% |
|
Energy Service Portfolio | .33% |
|
Natural Gas Portfolio | .34% |
|
Natural Resources Portfolio | .34% |
|
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Energy Portfolio | $ 3,859 |
Energy Service Portfolio | 7,385 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | 17,943 |
Natural Resources Portfolio | 3,599 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Each applicable Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest |
Energy Portfolio | Borrower | $ 8,355,000 | .53% | $ 122 |
Energy Service Portfolio | Borrower | 7,239,667 | .46% | 551 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | Borrower | 5,395,000 | .43% | 65 |
Natural Resources Portfolio | Borrower | 3,451,125 | .42% | 319 |
Semiannual Report
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Energy Portfolio | $ 2,663 |
Energy Service Portfolio | 1,578 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | 1,397 |
Natural Resources Portfolio | 1,830 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage | Custody |
|
|
|
Energy Portfolio | $ 30,316 | $ 155 |
Energy Service Portfolio | 7,079 | 42 |
Natural Gas Portfolio | 11,622 | 34 |
Natural Resources Portfolio | 41,391 | 93 |
10. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Select Energy

Select Natural Resources
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Energy Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

Natural Resources Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each of Energy Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio, and Natural Resources Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark. For Energy Service Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it was lower than the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Semiannual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Banking Portfolio, Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, Home Finance Portfolio, and Insurance Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds are non-diversified with the exception of Home Finance, Financial Services, and Banking. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 13, 2009 have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized |
Banking Portfolio | $ 406,535,471 | $ 50,179,108 | $ (104,002,693) | $ (53,823,585) |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 594,397,385 | 76,076,920 | (63,449,573) | 12,627,347 |
Financial Services Portfolio | 463,611,490 | 92,011,621 | (35,615,963) | 56,395,658 |
Home Finance Portfolio | 85,696,861 | 7,944,164 | (11,430,276) | (3,486,112) |
Insurance Portfolio | 108,098,468 | 21,052,107 | (7,948,358) | 13,103,749 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Funds held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Semiannual Report
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Banking Portfolio | 198,719,689 | 152,407,149 |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 725,054,378 | 698,516,168 |
Financial Services Portfolio | 676,940,732 | 595,636,894 |

Select Home Finance Portfolio realized a loss of $809, on sales of investments which did not meet the investment restrictions of the Fund. The loss of $809 was fully reimbursed by the Fund's investment advisor.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Banking Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Financial Services Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Home Finance Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Insurance Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Banking Portfolio | .33% |
|
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | .33% |
|
Financial Services Portfolio | .34% |
|
Home Finance Portfolio | .33% |
|
Insurance Portfolio | .34% |
|
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Banking Portfolio | $ 14,140 |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 91,815 |
Financial Services Portfolio | 96,727 |
Home Finance Portfolio | 8,101 |
Insurance Portfolio | 1,826 |

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. Each applicable fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | Borrower | $ 9,879,500 | .42% | $ 463 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Banking Portfolio | $ 384 |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 601 |
Financial Services Portfolio | 535 |
Home Finance Portfolio | 91 |
Insurance Portfolio | 145 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage | Custody |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 44,071 | - |
Financial Services Portfolio | 43,824 | 2 |
Home Finance Portfolio | 67 | 9 |
10. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
Semiannual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Banking Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.

Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
Financial Services Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and five-year periods, although the fund's three-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark.
Semiannual Report
Home Finance Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
Insurance Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board noted that this fund had underperformed in the previous year and discussed with FMR its disappointment with the continued underperformance of the fund. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each of Banking Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, and Insurance Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark. For each of Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio and Home Finance Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it was lower than the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Semiannual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Insurance Portfolio
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Semiannual Report
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Biotechnology Portfolio, Health Care Portfolio, Medical Delivery Portfolio, Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio, and Pharmaceuticals Portfolio (the Funds) are non-diversified funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009 have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments,as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if any, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For corporate bonds, pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Health Care Portfolio, independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Health Care Portfolio is subject to a tax imposed on short term capital gains on securities of certain issuers domiciled in India. The Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability included in Other payables and accrued expenses in the accompanying Statement of Assets & Liabilities for net unrealized gains on these securities in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of at period end.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized |
Biotechnology Portfolio | $ 1,315,279,860 | $ 120,124,737 | $ (201,155,638) | $ (81,030,901) |
Health Care Portfolio | 1,382,107,962 | 179,325,776 | (50,958,045) | 128,367,731 |

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Funds held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.
| Purchases ($) | Sales ($) |
Biotechnology Portfolio | 490,810,517 | 657,459,909 |
Health Care Portfolio | 913,215,418 | 948,981,230 |

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Biotechnology Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Health Care Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Biotechnology Portfolio | .32% |
|
Health Care Portfolio | .30% |
|
Medical Delivery Portfolio | .35% |
|
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | .32% |
|
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | .35% |
|
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Biotechnology Portfolio | $ 6,712 |
Health Care Portfolio | 10,878 |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | 2,417 |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | 5,725 |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 2,789 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Each applicable fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower | Average Daily | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest |
Biotechnology Portfolio | Borrower | $ 6,111,870 | .49% | $ 1,901 |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | Borrower | 4,708,125 | .43% | 452 |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | Borrower | 11,880,000 | .43% | 143 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Biotechnology Portfolio | $ 1,763 |
Health Care Portfolio | 2,044 |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | 430 |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | 1,651 |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 236 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian,
Semiannual Report

credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage | Custody |
Health Care Portfolio | $ 13,675 | $ 52 |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | 1,927 | - |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | 7,542 | 25 |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 1,346 | - |
10. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
Semiannual Report
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Biotechnology Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

Medical Delivery Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each fund, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
Semiannual Report
Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Semiannual Report
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Air Transportation Portfolio, Defense and Aerospace Portfolio, Environmental Portfolio, Industrial Equipment Portfolio, Industrials Portfolio, and Transportation Portfolio (the Funds) are non-diversified funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if any, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For corporate bonds pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, net operating losses, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:
| Cost for | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized |
Air Transportation Portfolio | $ 51,529,127 | $ 6,318,647 | $ (8,975,283) | $ (2,656,636) |
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | 608,588,443 | 70,495,854 | (124,094,583) | (53,598,729) |
Environmental Portfolio | 51,412,724 | 4,279,907 | (3,139,645) | 1,140,262 |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | 103,587,277 | 14,130,186 | (15,815,400) | (1,685,214) |
Industrials Portfolio | 199,203,805 | 26,266,739 | (12,885,884) | 13,380,855 |
Transportation Portfolio | 84,223,983 | 9,946,975 | (8,243,246) | 1,703,729 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Funds held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Air Transportation Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Environmental Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Industrials Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Transportation Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Air Transportation Portfolio | .33% |
|
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | .34% |
|
Environmental Portfolio | .35% |
|
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | .30% |
|
Industrials Portfolio | .33% |
|
Transportation Portfolio | .34% |
|
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Air Transportation Portfolio | $ 521 |
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | 1,954 |
Environmental Portfolio | 940 |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | 4,681 |
Industrials Portfolio | 5,112 |
Transportation Portfolio | 2,594 |
Semiannual Report
6. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Air Transportation Portfolio | $ 64 |
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | 789 |
Environmental Portfolio | 68 |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | 116 |
Industrials Portfolio | 201 |
Transportation Portfolio | 136 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. In addition, through arrangements with each applicable Fund's custodian and transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce each applicable Fund's expenses. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage | Custody |
Air Transportation Portfolio | $ 579 | $ - |
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio | 408 | - |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | 195 | 4 |
Industrials Portfolio | 499 | 9 |
Transportation Portfolio | 3,711 | - |
9. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio was the owner of record of approximately 11% of the total outstanding shares of Industrials Portfolio. The VIP FundsManager Portfolios were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of Industrials Portfolio. In addition, at the end of the period, PAS U.S. Opportunity Fund of Funds was the owner of record of approximately 10% of the total outstanding shares of Industrial Equipment Portfolio.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index (or a proprietary custom index, in the case of Environmental Portfolio) that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance.
For each of Air Transportation Portfolio, Defense and Aerospace Portfolio, Industrials Portfolio, Industrial Equipment Portfolio and Transportation Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
For Environmental Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a proprietary custom index ("benchmark"). The fund's proprietary custom index is an index developed and periodically revised by FMR that is a market-capitalization weighted index of securities that meet the fund's 80% name test.
Air Transportation Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for all the periods shown.
Semiannual Report
Defense and Aerospace Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board noted that this fund had underperformed in the previous year and discussed with FMR its disappointment with the continued underperformance of the fund. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
Environmental Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

Industrials Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark.
Industrial Equipment Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark.
Semiannual Report
Transportation Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each of Defense and Aerospace Portfolio, Industrials Portfolio, and Industrial Equipment Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark. For each of Air Transportation Portfolio, Environmental Portfolio, and Transportation Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it was lower than the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Semiannual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Annualized Expense Ratio | Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
Actual | .99% | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,587.90 | $ 6.46 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) |
| $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.21 | $ 5.04 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Chemicals Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For corporate bonds pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Semiannual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 17,542,571 |
Unrealized depreciation | (76,566,406) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (59,023,835) |
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 438,443,583 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $498,152,731 and $505,923,442, respectively.
Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .34% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $12,179 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $489 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $903.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $6,230 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's transfer agent expenses by $109.
9. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investment in Subsidiary
The Fund may invest in certain precious metals through its investment in the Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary (the: Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary has the ability to invest in commodities and securities consistent with the investment objective of the Fund. As of Au-gust 31, 2009, the Fund held $200,209,492 in the Subsidiary, representing 7.7% of the Fund's net assets.
3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
4. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

Security Valuation - continued
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 498,227,819 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (178,894,827) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 319,332,992 |

Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,287,119,287 |

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
5. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
6. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $753,204,564 and $439,784,420, respectively.
7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR and its affiliates also provide investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its assets. FMR has agreed to reimburse the Fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee of the Subsidiary. For the period, FMR reimbursed the Fund $278,883.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 65,437 | $ 8,689 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 45,432 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 57,667 | 43,250 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 112,052 | 57,536 |
|
|
| $ 280,588 | $ 109,475 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 50,601 |
Class T | 7,823 |
Class B* | 18,026 |
Class C* | 11,367 |
| $ 87,817 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $587 for the period.
8. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,708 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
9. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $304,694.
10. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $189,755 for the period In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $115.

13. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Materials, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Semiannual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 54,082,530 |
Unrealized depreciation | (28,996,494) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 25,086,036 |
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 440,512,292 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $334,807,689 and $187,065,746, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 25,731 | $ 1,693 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 21,096 | 242 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 21,731 | 16,299 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 49,352 | 15,173 |
|
|
| $ 117,910 | $ 33,407 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 37,412 |
Class T | 4,811 |
Class B* | 4,422 |
Class C* | 2,982 |
| $ 49,627 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 34,063 | .33 |
Class T | 14,592 | .35 |
Class B | 7,280 | .34 |
Class C | 16,534 | .34 |

* Annualized
Semiannual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,145 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $375 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $12,677.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $6,255 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $49.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Merger Information.
On June 19, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on November 18, 2008. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 337,332 shares of Materials (the original retail class of shares of Select Materials Portfolio), for 697,705 shares then outstanding (valued at $19.07) of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio's net assets, including $3,465,168 of unrealized depreciation, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $314,623,676 for total net assets after the acquisition of $327,928,049.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance (Chemicals Portfolio). The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare the fund's performance. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Chemicals Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board noted that this fund had underperformed in the previous year and discussed with FMR its disappointment with the continued underperformance of the fund. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. The Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Investment Performance (Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio). The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as each fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare either fund's performance.
For Gold Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Fidelity Gold (retail class) and Class B of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Fidelity Gold (retail class) and Class B show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.

For Materials Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
Gold Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Gold (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Materials Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Materials (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each fund, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the retail class through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Semiannual Report
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Materials Portfolio
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of Chemicals Portfolio's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
In its review of the total expenses of each class of Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that Chemicals Portfolio's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each class of Gold Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and Fidelity Materials (retail class) of Materials Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for 2008 and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2008. The Board considered that the total expenses for Class T were above the median primarily because its 12b-1 fee is higher than the typical front-end load class. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of Chemicals Portfolio and the total expenses of each class of Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
Semiannual Report
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Telecommunications, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political, uncertainties, and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. the Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications for the period ended February 28, 2009.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, non-taxable dividends, deferred trustee compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 18,072,614 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (77,132,020) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (59,059,406) |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 360,965,529 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $180,885,981 and $163,149,847, respectively.
Semiannual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |

FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 6,365,000 | .44% | $ 157 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $421 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $90,073.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,710 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $60.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Annualized Expense Ratio | Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
Actual | .99% | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,367.10 | $ 5.91 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) |
| $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.21 | $ 5.04 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Wireless Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 32,337,363 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (52,293,753) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (19,956,390) |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 430,345,388 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $286,675,093 and $190,346,407, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Semiannual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .34% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,939 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $484 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $12,589 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $198.
9. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.

Investment Performance (Telecommunications Portfolio). The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare the fund's performance. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Telecommunications (retail class) and Class B of the fund and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Telecommunications (retail class) and Class B show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
Telecommunications Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. The Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of Telecommunications (retail class) through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Investment Performance (Wireless Portfolio). The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare the fund's performance. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party sponsored index ("benchmark").

The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Telecommunications Portfolio
Wireless Portfolio
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of the total expenses of each class of Telecommunications Portfolio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
In its review of Wireless Portfolio's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees.

Semiannual Report
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and Telecommunications (retail class) of Telecommunications Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for 2008 and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2008. The Board considered that the total expenses for Class T were above the median primarily because its 12b-1 fee is higher than the typical front-end load class. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
The Board noted that Wireless Portfolio's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of Telecommunications Portfolio and the total expenses of Wireless Portfolio were reasonable, although in one case above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message

Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Semiannual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Communications Equipment Portfolio, Computers Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, IT Services Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio, and Technology Portfolio (the Funds) are non-diversified funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust). The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Certain Funds investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Each Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value their investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for each Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, if any, is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on quotations received from dealers who make markets in such securities or by independent pricing services. For corporate bonds, pricing services generally utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Funds estimate the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Electronics Portfolio, independent Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards, market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. Certain Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, are noted in the table below.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and a group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, each Fund's annualized management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows:
| Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total |
Communications Equipment Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |
Computers Portfolio | .30% | .26% | .56% |

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annualized rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Communications Equipment Portfolio | .33% |
Computers Portfolio | .34% |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were as follows:
| Amount |
Communications Equipment Portfolio | $ 5,479 |
Computers Portfolio | 6,008 |
Electronics Portfolio | 16,783 |
IT Services Portfolio | 2,959 |
Software and Computer Services Portfolio | 3,719 |
Technology Portfolio | 8,509 |
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. Each applicable Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
| Borrower or | Average Daily | Weighted Average | Interest |
Communications Equipment Portfolio | Borrower | $ 5,219,750 | .47% | $ 272 |
7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations, and is as follows:
Communications Equipment Portfolio | $ 327 |
Computers Portfolio | 480 |
Electronics Portfolio | 1,162 |
IT Services Portfolio | 96 |
Software and Computer Services Portfolio | 944 |
Technology Portfolio | 1,720 |
During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
Certain Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, each applicable Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in

recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.
9. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of certain Funds provided services to these Funds in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of expenses on behalf of each applicable Fund. All of the applicable expense reductions are noted in the table below.
| Brokerage |

Communications Equipment Portfolio | $ 5,593 |
Computers Portfolio | 19,590 |
Electronics Portfolio | 4,894 |
Software and Computer Services Portfolio | 1,854 |
Technology Portfolio | 71,126 |
10. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio was the owner of record of approximately 14% of the total outstanding shares of IT Services Portfolio. The VIP FundsManager Portfolios were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 22% of the total outstanding shares of IT Services Portfolio.
11. Merger Information.
On June 19, 2009, the Communication Equipment Portfolio acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on November 18, 2008. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 3,975,162 shares of Communication Equipment Portfolio, for 35,599,072 shares then outstanding (valued at $1.87) of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio's net assets, including $4,096,065 of unrealized depreciation, were combined with the Communication Equipment Portfolio's net assets of $279,957,975 for total net assets after the acquisition of $346,541,946.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance, as well as each fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance. For each fund, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Communications Equipment Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
Semiannual Report
Computers Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board noted that this fund had underperformed in the previous year and discussed with FMR its disappointment with the continued underperformance of the fund. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
Electronics Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.

The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each of Communications Equipment Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, IT Services Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio, and Technology Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark. For Computers Portfolio, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it was lower than the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that each fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Semiannual Report
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
| Annualized | Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
Actual | .98% | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,236.30 | $ 5.52 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) |
| $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,020.27 | $ 4.99 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Fidelity Select Utilities Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 14, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, deferred trustees compensation, losses deferred due to wash sales, capital loss carryforwards and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 32,095,549 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (17,606,709) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 14,488,840 |
|
|
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 319,591,266 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $358,853,488 and $378,963,547, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Semiannual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .34% of average net assets.
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $10,180 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $478 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $1,991.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $732 for the period.
9. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
Select Utilities
Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's investment personnel and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance, as well as the fund's relative investment performance measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare the fund's performance. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, the fund's cumulative total returns and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark").
Utilities Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. The Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the fund through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.
Semiannual Report
Utilities Portfolio
The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of the fund's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the fund's total expenses ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's total expenses were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for the fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 82,817,426 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (84,873,359) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (2,055,933) |
|
|
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,106,390,565 |

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 185,011 | $ 10,387 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 61,042 | 248 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 88,850 | 66,637 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 319,541 | 171,640 |
|
|
| $ 654,444 | $ 248,912 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 68,269 |
Class T | 7,265 |
Class B* | 26,353 |
Class C* | 15,162 |
| $ 117,049 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 202,654 | .27 |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,313 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,525 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $101,728.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,341 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $95.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investment in Subsidiary
The Fund may invest in certain precious metals through its investment in the Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary (the: Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary has the ability to invest in commodities and securities consistent with the investment objective of the Fund. As of Au-gust 31, 2009, the Fund held $200,209,492 in the Subsidiary, representing 7.7% of the Fund's net assets.
3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
4. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

4. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 498,227,819 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (178,894,827) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 319,332,992 |
|
|

|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,287,119,287 |

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
5. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
6. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $753,204,564 and $439,784,420, respectively.
7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR and its affiliates also provide investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its assets. FMR has agreed to reimburse the Fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee of the Subsidiary. For the period, FMR reimbursed the Fund $278,883.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 65,437 | $ 8,689 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 45,432 | - |

Class C | .75% | .25% | 112,052 | 57,536 |
|
|
| $ 280,588 | $ 109,475 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 50,601 |
Class T | 7,823 |
Class B* | 18,026 |
Class C* | 11,367 |
| $ 87,817 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $587 for the period.
8. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,708 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
9. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $304,694.
10. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $189,755 for the period In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $115.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Materials, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 54,082,530 |
Unrealized depreciation | (28,996,494) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 25,086,036 |
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 440,512,292 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $334,807,689 and $187,065,746, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 25,731 | $ 1,693 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 21,096 | 242 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 21,731 | 16,299 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 49,352 | 15,173 |
|
|
| $ 117,910 | $ 33,407 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 37,412 |
Class T | 4,811 |
Class B* | 4,422 |
Class C* | 2,982 |
| $ 49,627 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 34,063 | .33 |
Class T | 14,592 | .35 |
Class B | 7,280 | .34 |

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,145 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $375 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $12,677.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $6,255 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $49.
9. Distributions to Shareholders.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Merger Information.
On June 19, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on November 18, 2008. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 337,332 shares of Materials (the original retail class of shares of Select Materials Portfolio), for 697,705 shares then outstanding (valued at $19.07) of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio's net assets, including $3,465,168 of unrealized depreciation, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $314,623,676 for total net assets after the acquisition of $327,928,049.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Telecommunications, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political, uncertainties, and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Semiannual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. the Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications for the period ended February 28, 2009.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, non-taxable dividends, deferred trustee compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 18,072,614 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (77,132,020) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (59,059,406) |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 360,965,529 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $180,885,981 and $163,149,847, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 4,251 | $ 178 |

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class were as follows:

* Annualized
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $478 for the period.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 6,365,000 | .44% | $ 157 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $421 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $90,073.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,710 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $60.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as each fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance.
For each of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, and Telecommunications Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of the retail class and Class B of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of the retail class and Class B show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
For Materials Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
Consumer Staples Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the five-year cumulative total return of Fidelity Consumer Staples (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Semiannual Report
Gold Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Gold (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Materials Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Materials (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued
Telecommunications Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each fund, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the retail class through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG%" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Materials Portfolio
Telecommunications Portfolio
The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of the total expenses of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each class of each of Consumer Staples Portfolio and Gold Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
For each of Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio, the Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2008 and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2008. The Board considered that the total expenses for Class T were above the median primarily because its 12b-1 fee is higher than the typical front-end load class. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Semiannual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of each fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.

Chairman's Message
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
Dear Shareholder:
We've seen a welcome uptick in the global equity markets this spring and summer, as signs of stabilization in some economic indicators have brought many investors back into the marketplace. But there remain other key measures - notably high unemployment and slack consumer spending - that suggest the road back to economic health could still be a bumpy ride. Financial markets are always unpredictable, of course, but there also are several time-tested investment principles that can help put the historical odds in your favor.
One of the basic tenets is to invest for the long term. Over time, riding out the markets' inevitable ups and downs has proven much more effective than selling into panic or chasing the hottest trend. Even missing only a few of the markets' best days can significantly diminish investor returns. Patience also affords the benefits of compounding - of earning interest on additional income or reinvested dividends and capital gains. There can be tax advantages and cost benefits to consider as well. While staying the course doesn't eliminate risk, it can considerably lessen the effect of short-term declines.
You can further manage your investing risk through diversification. And today, more than ever, geographic diversification should be taken into account. Studies indicate that asset allocation is the single most important determinant of a portfolio's long-term success. The right mix of stocks, bonds and cash - aligned to your particular risk tolerance and investment objective - is very important. Age-appropriate rebalancing is also an essential aspect of asset allocation. For younger investors, an emphasis on equities - which historically have been the best-performing asset class over time - is encouraged. As investors near their specific goal, such as retirement or sending a child to college, consideration may be given to replacing volatile assets (e.g. common stocks) with more-stable fixed investments (bonds or savings plans).
A third principle - investing regularly - can help lower the average cost of your purchases. Investing a certain amount of money each month or quarter helps ensure you won't pay for all your shares at market highs. This strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - also reduces "emotion" from investing, helping shareholders avoid selling weak performers just prior to an upswing, or chasing a hot performer just before a correction.
We invite you to contact us via the Internet, through our Investor Centers or by phone. It is our privilege to provide you the information you need to make the investments that are right for you.
Sincerely,
/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 82,817,426 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (84,873,359) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (2,055,933) |
|
|
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,106,390,565 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
Semiannual Report
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $384,629,536 and $427,183,767, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 185,011 | $ 10,387 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 61,042 | 248 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 88,850 | 66,637 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 319,541 | 171,640 |
|
|
| $ 654,444 | $ 248,912 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 68,269 |
Class T | 7,265 |
Class B* | 26,353 |
Class C* | 15,162 |
| $ 117,049 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 202,654 | .27 |
Class T | 41,208 | .34 |
Class B | 30,895 | .35 |
Class C | 90,955 | .28 |

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,313 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,525 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $101,728.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,341 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $95.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investment in Subsidiary
The Fund may invest in certain precious metals through its investment in the Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary (the: Subsidiary"). The Subsidiary has the ability to invest in commodities and securities consistent with the investment objective of the Fund. As of Au-gust 31, 2009, the Fund held $200,209,492 in the Subsidiary, representing 7.7% of the Fund's net assets.
3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
4. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.

4. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 498,227,819 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (178,894,827) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 319,332,992 |

Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 2,287,119,287 |

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
5. Operating Policies.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.
6. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $753,204,564 and $439,784,420, respectively.
7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
FMR and its affiliates also provide investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its assets. FMR has agreed to reimburse the Fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee of the Subsidiary. For the period, FMR reimbursed the Fund $278,883.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | 0% | .25% | $ 65,437 | $ 8,689 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 45,432 | - |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 57,667 | 43,250 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 112,052 | 57,536 |
|
|
| $ 280,588 | $ 109,475 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 50,601 |
Class T | 7,823 |
Class B* | 18,026 |
Class C* | 11,367 |
| $ 87,817 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $587 for the period.
8. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,708 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
9. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $304,694.
10. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $189,755 for the period In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $115.

13. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Semiannual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Materials, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Semiannual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 54,082,530 |
Unrealized depreciation | (28,996,494) |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 25,086,036 |
|
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 440,512,292 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $334,807,689 and $187,065,746, respectively.
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |
Class A | -% | .25% | $ 25,731 | $ 1,693 |
Class T | .25% | .25% | 21,096 | 242 |
Class B | .75% | .25% | 21,731 | 16,299 |
Class C | .75% | .25% | 49,352 | 15,173 |
|
|
| $ 117,910 | $ 33,407 |
Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
| Retained |
Class A | $ 37,412 |
Class T | 4,811 |
Class B* | 4,422 |
Class C* | 2,982 |
| $ 49,627 |
* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each applicable class were as follows:
| Amount | % of |
Class A | $ 34,063 | .33 |
Class T | 14,592 | .35 |
Class B | 7,280 | .34 |

Semiannual Report
5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,145 for the period.
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $375 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $12,677.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $6,255 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian and each class' transfer agent, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $49.

11. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
12. Merger Information.
On June 19, 2009, the Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees on November 18, 2008. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 337,332 shares of Materials (the original retail class of shares of Select Materials Portfolio), for 697,705 shares then outstanding (valued at $19.07) of Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders. Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio's net assets, including $3,465,168 of unrealized depreciation, were combined with the Fund's net assets of $314,623,676 for total net assets after the acquisition of $327,928,049.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2009 to August 31, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

For the period ended August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)
1. Organization.
Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class B, Class C, Telecommunications, and Institutional Class shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political, uncertainties, and can be extremely volatile.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Events or transactions occurring after period end through the date that the financial statements were issued, October 19, 2009, have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are classified into three levels. Level 1 includes readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 3 includes unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy. The aggregate value by input level, as of August 31, 2009, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets and liabilities for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Valuation techniques of the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities as presented in the Schedule of Investments are as follows.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Foreign Currency - continued
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. the Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications for the period ended February 28, 2009.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, certain foreign taxes, non-taxable dividends, deferred trustee compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 18,072,614 |
|
Unrealized depreciation | (77,132,020) |
|
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (59,059,406) |
|
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 360,965,529 |
|
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares in the Fund held less than 30 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $180,885,981 and $163,149,847, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .56% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates and the total amounts paid to and retained by FDC were as follows:
| Distribution | Service | Paid to | Retained |

Sales Load. FDC receives a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares, and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. FDC receives the proceeds of contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. These charges depend on the holding period. The deferred sales charges range from 5% to 1% for Class B, 1% for Class C, 1.00% to .50% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.
For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

* When Class B and Class C shares are initially sold, FDC pays commissions from its own resources to financial intermediaries through which the sales are made.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $478 for the period.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 6,365,000 | .44% | $ 157 |
6. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $421 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
7. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $90,073.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $8,710 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $60.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly and, acting directly and through its separate committees, requests and receives information concerning, and considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to, its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established various standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of Advisory Contracts.
At its July 2009 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contracts is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor noted above, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, is aware that shareholders in each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that each fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, managed by Fidelity.
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the funds' investment personnel and the funds' investment objectives and disciplines. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. In response to last year's financial crisis, FMR took a number of actions intended to cut costs and improve efficiency without weakening the investment teams or resources. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools and market and securities data that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. For example, fund shareholders are offered the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds, as set forth in the fund's prospectus, without paying a sales charge. The Board noted that Fidelity has taken a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure and broaden the focus of the investment research teams; (ii) bolstering the senior management team that oversees asset management; (iii) contractually agreeing to reduce the management fee on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund; and (iv) expanding Class A and Class T load waiver categories to increase rollover retention opportunities and create consistent policies across the classes.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's absolute investment performance for each class, as well as each fund's relative investment performance for each class measured against a third-party-sponsored index that reflects the market sector in which the fund invests over multiple periods. The Board noted that FMR does not believe that a meaningful peer group exists against which to compare any of the funds' performance.
For each of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, and Telecommunications Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of the retail class and Class B of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of the retail class and Class B show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
For Materials Portfolio, the following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2008, as available, the cumulative total returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C of the fund, and the cumulative total returns of a third-party-sponsored index ("benchmark"). The returns of Fidelity Materials (retail class) and Class C show the performance of the highest performing class (based on five-year performance) and the lowest performing class (based on one-year performance), respectively.
Consumer Staples Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the five-year cumulative total return of Fidelity Consumer Staples (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Gold (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods, although the fund's five-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Materials Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of Fidelity Materials (retail class) of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the fund's one-year cumulative total return was lower than its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.

Telecommunications Portfolio
The Board stated that the investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for all the periods shown. The Board discussed with FMR actions that have been taken by FMR to improve the fund's below-benchmark performance. The Board will continue to closely monitor the performance of the fund in the coming year and discuss with FMR other appropriate actions to address the performance of the fund. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
The Board considered that FMR has taken steps to refocus and strengthen equity research, equity portfolio management, and compliance. For each fund, the Board reviewed the year-to-date performance of the retail class through May 31, 2009 and stated that it exceeded the fund's benchmark.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance and factoring in the unprecedented market events in 2008, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each fund will benefit each fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that each fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG%" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a TMG % of 6% means that 94% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than a fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2008.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of the total expenses of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each class of each of Consumer Staples Portfolio and Gold Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for 2008.
For each of Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio, the Board noted that the total expenses of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class ranked below its competitive median for 2008 and the total expenses of Class T ranked above its competitive median for 2008. The Board considered that the total expenses for Class T were above the median primarily because its 12b-1 fee is higher than the typical front-end load class. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
Semiannual Report
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of each fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for each fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.
The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of each fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
In February 2009, the Board created an Ad Hoc Committee (the "Committee") to analyze economies of scale. The Committee was formed to consider whether FMR attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.
The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher group fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. FMR determines the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board concluded, considering the findings of the Committee, that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including (i) fund performance trends, actions to be taken by FMR to improve certain funds' overall performance and Fidelity's long-term strategies for certain funds; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers and key personnel, including performance benchmarks used by Fidelity in evaluating incentive compensation for portfolio managers and research analysts; (iv) the structure and process of equity research and actions taken by FMR to improve the quality of research; (v) the selection of and compensation paid by FMR to fund sub-advisers; (vi) Fidelity's fee structures and rationale for recommending different fees among categories of funds; (vii) the rationale for any differences between fund fee structures and fee structures in place for other Fidelity clients; (viii) Fidelity's rationale for recommending which funds should have a performance adjustment component as part of their management fees; and (ix) explanations for the relative total expenses borne by certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends, and actions that might be taken by FMR to reduce total expenses for certain funds and classes.
