Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended February 28, 2005 | Past 1 | Past 5 | Past 10 |
Select Consumer Industries | 4.18% | 2.06% | 10.38% |
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Select Consumer Industries Portfolio on February 28, 1995. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the S&P 500® Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John Roth, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Consumer Industries Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12-month period ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 4.18%, trailing the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index's 5.97% gain and the S&P 500®. The fund's performance lagged its sector benchmark due mainly to its overweighted position in poor-performing media stocks. In particular, broadcasting stocks were held back as the recovery in advertising spending did not meet the market's expectations. On the positive side, the fund's overweighted positions in selected Internet portals and specialty retailers were strong contributors to performance. Individual detractors included doughnut franchiser Krispy Kreme, which struggled as its growth rate decelerated and the profitability of its stores declined. Amazon.com's stock performance also lagged, as the company focused on investing in new product categories to grow its business longer term, disappointing investors who expected faster near-term earnings growth. Looking at contributors, American Eagle Outfitters was a great example of a retailer that executed its business strategy well. Internet search provider Google also was a major contributor. After a successful initial public offering, the stock rose as the company reported earnings that handily beat investors' expectations.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Robert Lee, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Food and Agriculture Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 11.24%, outpacing both the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index, which gained 5.97%, and the S&P 500®. Roughly half of the fund's outperformance of the Goldman Sachs index can be credited to the strong showing of food and agricultural stocks relative to other groups contained in the index. This factor more than offset the unfavorable impact of the fund's natural inclusion of food retail stocks, such as Safeway, and food distributor stocks, notably Sysco, both of which underperformed the Goldman Sachs index. The other half of the fund's outperformance was driven by successful industry and stock selection within food and agriculture area. The fund benefited from being overweighted in the restaurant and agriculture commodity groups, which performed well. These gains - together with successful stock selection within most food and agriculture segments - more than offset some missed opportunities in the agricultural chemical and wine distributor groups. Among restaurant holdings, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers and Buffalo Wild Wings were among the biggest contributors to the fund's absolute and relative performance, buoyed by continued strong earnings growth. Other restaurant winners included Sonic and McDonald's, both of which performed well despite rising food commodity costs and higher gasoline prices, which curbed consumers' ability to spend. In contrast, Outback Steakhouse was hurt by these challenges, and its stock detracted from performance. My timing regarding P.F. Chang's China Bistro was another detractor from performance, as I overweighted the stock when it was declining, then sold before it posted very strong returns late in the period. Elsewhere, rising commodity prices helped boost holdings in agriculture commodity companies such as Archer-Daniels-Midland and Bunge Limited.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Aaron Cooper, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Leisure Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12-month period ending February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Leisure Portfolio returned 7.43%, outperforming both the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index, which returned 5.97%, and the S&P 500®. Solid stock picking and a relatively large position in the Internet portals and content space, a group not included in the sector index, drove most of the relative outperformance. Among the companies that did well in that space were Yahoo! and Google, each of which attracted increasing traffic to the Internet in a very effective manner. Good stock selection and an overweighting in casinos and gaming also made a big contribution to performance, as did the fund's overweighted position in the hotels, resorts and cruise lines group. Among the strongest performers here were casino operator Kerzner International, Starwood Hotels & Resorts and Carnival Cruise Lines. The biggest absolute detractor was Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, a stock that is no longer held, which fell on a series of unexpected company-specific issues, including a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation. Broadcasting and cable television stocks also hurt performance, with media names such as Clear Channel Communications and EchoStar Communications turning in disappointing results.

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from John Roth, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Multimedia Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12-month period ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 0.01%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index's 5.97% gain and the S&P 500®. The fund's performance lagged the Goldman Sachs index due mainly to unfavorable industry selection. The largest detractor from performance relative to the sector benchmark was the fund's overweighted position in poor-performing media stocks. Radio broadcaster Clear Channel Communications was the largest relative detractor during the period, as its business fundamentals remained weak despite a recovery in the advertising environment. IAC/InterActiveCorp also hurt, with its travel business suffering from increased competition from the big hotel chains and other online providers. On the positive side, overweightings in selected Internet portals were strong contributors to performance. Internet portal Yahoo!, the fund's top contributor to relative performance and its third-largest holding at the period end, benefited from the shift of ad dollars from traditional media to the Internet. Another major holding, Internet search engine Google, also was a major contributor. After a successful initial public offering, the company's stock continued to rise after it reported earnings that handily beat investor expectations.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Martin Zinny, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Retailing Portfolio on January 12, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
The fund did well on an absolute basis and relative to its benchmarks. For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund posted a return of 8.47%, topping the Goldman Sachs® Consumer Industries Index, which returned 5.97%, and the S&P 500®. The fund's holdings in retailers focused on the teen consumer market made significant contributions to performance. Bolstered by operational improvements, retailers American Eagle Outfitters and Abercrombie & Fitch benefited from a robust trend toward "preppy" and denim clothing. Drugstore chain CVS was another contributor. CVS' stock was helped when the company acquired Eckerd Drug from JCPenney. This development, combined with strength in its core merchandise and pharmacy businesses, led investors to bid its shares higher. On a less favorable note, supermarket operator Safeway detracted from performance. The company generated a disappointing sales increase in 2004, resulting in part from a prolonged workers' strike in Southern California. The fund reduced its position in the stock. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts also disappointed during the period. The company's accounting practices and operational decisions came under scrutiny, sending its shares lower. The fund no longer held this stock at the end of the period.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Consumer Industries Portfolio, Food and Agriculture Portfolio, Leisure Portfolio, Multimedia Portfolio and Retailing 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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
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.

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 annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets was as follows:

Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 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 Lender | Average Daily | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest | |
Leisure Portfolio | Borrower | $ 2,014,333 | 1.13% | - | $ 379 |
Multimedia Portfolio | Borrower | $ 10,411,167 | 1.13% | - | $ 1,959 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emer-gency 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.
Expense | Reimbursement | |
Consumer Industries Portfolio | 1.25% * - 2.50% | $ 3,152 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period-end.
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 Service Arrangements | Custody | Transfer | |
Consumer Industries Portfolio | $ 10,224 | $ - | $ - |
Food and Agriculture Portfolio | 19,772 | 699 | - |

8. 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, certain otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were owners of record of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following funds:
Number of | Unaffiliated Shareholders % | |

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consumer Industries Portfolio, Food and Agriculture Portfolio, Leisure Portfolio, Multimedia Portfolio, and Retailing Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2005, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Andrew Hatem, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Air Transportation Portfolio on January 3, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was up 12.92%, trailing the 20.56% return for the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index but significantly outperforming the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was significantly overweighted in poor-performing airline industry stocks, which historically have been a core component of the portfolio. Among the fund's biggest detractors were Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, Continental Airlines, WestJet Airlines and AMR - the parent of American Airlines - all of which declined due to rising fuel costs, which hindered their profitability. The fund managed a positive return because its holdings in two other industries that together made up roughly 60% of its net assets on average during the period - aerospace/defense and air freight/logistics - performed quite well. More specifically, the stocks of three companies that supply parts and equipment to aerospace manufacturers - Rockwell Collins, Precision Castparts and Goodrich - rallied nicely on the improving global demand for new planes. Elsewhere, holdings in freight-forwarding companies Expeditors International of Washington and UTI Worldwide also appreciated significantly. Other detractors relative to the Goldman Sachs index included online travel provider Sabre Holdings and Quebec, Canada-based regional jet manufacturer Bombardier. The stocks of both of these companies declined.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Anmol Mehra, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Automotive Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 5.38%, well behind the 20.56% mark posted by the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index and modestly lagging the S&P 500®. Auto manufacturers and auto parts and equipment stocks - which jointly comprised over half of the fund's holdings - were among the weakest groups in the Goldman Sachs index. For example, Gentex - a maker of auto mirrors - was the fund's biggest detractor on a relative basis. The stock was hurt by a rich valuation and the company's exposure to production cuts by General Motors, the world's largest automaker. Used and new car retailer CarMax also held back performance, as its used car operations failed to perform as I expected. On the positive side, underweighting industrial conglomerates helped relative performance, as did stock selection in the auto tire area. Truck engine maker Cummins was the top contributor on a relative basis and second-best in absolute terms. The stock benefited from strong demand driven by a truck replacement cycle as well as the company's solid execution of its business model. Among auto manufacturers, Hyundai performed well, as the South Korean company did a good job of improving global perceptions of its product quality and continued to produce models that appealed to consumers. The fund's largest position at period end - out-of-index holding Toyota Motor - posted a double-digit gain but still underperformed the sector index, making it a relative detractor.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matt Friedman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Chemicals Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, the fund returned 39.38%, outperforming both the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index, which returned 20.56%, and the S&P 500®. The largest contributor to the fund's returns relative to the sector index was the portfolio's heavy overweighting in strong-performing commodity chemical stocks. Many of these companies - such as Lyondell Chemical and Millennium Chemicals - benefited from tighter supply in the face of rising demand, which allowed them to raise prices and boost profits. Both Lyondell and Millennium rose further when the companies merged in December 2004. Investments in other commodity chemical companies also generated gains, including Pioneer Companies, Georgia Gulf and Westlake Chemical. I sold Georgia Gulf to lock in profits. Agricultural and specialty chemical stocks such as Monsanto, IMC Global - now part of Mosaic Corp. - and Cytec added to returns as well. On the other hand, investments in Chinese companies Sinopec Shanghai Petrochemical and China Petroleum and Chemical detracted from performance when they were unable to pass through higher oil costs to their customers. Applied Extrusion hurt returns when it filed for bankruptcy, while Ferro Corp. disappointed in response to alleged accounting irregularities.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Ramona Persaud, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Construction and Housing Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
During the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Construction and Housing Portfolio returned 30.28%, outperforming both the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index, which returned 20.56%, and the S&P 500®. The fund benefited from its large weighting in homebuilding stocks, which easily topped most other cyclical industries due to strong business fundamentals and beneficial mortgage rates, which remained at historically low levels despite significant increases in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve Board. The fund also was helped relative to the sector index by not holding automobile stocks, which lagged during the period and are not part of the construction and housing industry. Among the holdings that helped both absolute and relative performance were homebuilding stocks Toll Brothers, KB Home, D.R. Horton, Ryland Group and Pulte Homes. Mortgage lender Countrywide Financial also performed well, as historically low rates led to sustained demand for home loans. Detractors from performance included government-sponsored mortgage agency Fannie Mae, which lagged due to continuing investigations by regulators; United Rentals, which had its accounting practices reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission; and William Lyon Homes, which suffered from a temporary setback in its Southern California operations.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matt Friedman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Cyclical Industries Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, the fund returned 25.60%, outperforming both the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index, which gained 20.56%, and the S&P 500®. The fund focused on industries that tend to outperform in the later stages of the economic cycle, such as chemicals. For example, Lyondell Chemical and Millennium Chemicals benefited from tight supply combined with strong demand, which kept pricing and profits robust. The stocks rose further when the companies merged in December 2004. Investments in homebuilders KB Home, Ryland Group and Toll Brothers also helped returns when the group generated strong earnings growth. The fund's lack of exposure to U.S. auto manufacturers - key components of the sector index - was another positive, as declining demand for their products led to bloated inventories and lower profit margins. On the other hand, investments in airlines Continental and AirTran proved disappointing, as the industry was hampered by high energy prices and fierce price discounting. Appliance maker Maytag and industrial conglomerates Honeywell and 3M also detracted from returns, falling victim to contracting business lines and margin pressures.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Chris Bartel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Defense and Aerospace Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 22.82%, beating the 20.56% return of the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index and more than tripling the gain of the S&P 500®. The fund's overweighting in the defense and aerospace segment was the main factor driving its outperformance versus the Goldman Sachs index. Precision Castparts was the top contributor in absolute terms and compared with the sector index. The maker of titanium aircraft castings benefited from strong demand from both defense and commercial aerospace customers. Also helping performance was United Defense Industries, provider of the M-2 Bradley armored vehicle used extensively in Iraq. That said, the fund's relative performance suffered due to its overweighting in the broadcasting group, as satellite TV providers EchoStar Communications and DIRECTV Group were the two largest detractors on a relative basis and also hurt the fund in absolute terms. Although both companies delivered strong earnings and subscriber growth, investors worried that earnings growth might slow because of greater competition from the cable television industry.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Doug Simmons, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Environmental Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was up 3.84%, trailing both the 20.56% return for the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was underweighted in several cyclical industries that performed quite well but aren't considered part of the fund's environmental services universe, such as steel manufacturing and homebuilding. On the positive side of the ledger, emphasizing water filtration stocks worked out well because several fund holdings in this industry, such as Ionics and ESCO Technologies, appreciated nicely due to growing global demand for clean water. Elsewhere, Whole Foods Market, an organic food retailer, and Headwaters, a pioneer in developing cleaner-burning coal that allows fewer pollutants to enter the environment, also performed well. On the downside, focusing on companies specializing in the production of hydrogen fuel cell energy sources - namely Plug Power, FuelCell Energy and Hydrogenics - wasn't helpful, as these stocks fared poorly because investors grew skeptical about the industry's growth prospects. Meanwhile, owning large positions in several poor-performing waste disposal companies, such as Allied Waste, Casella Waste Systems, Waste Management and Republic Services, also proved disappointing.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Chris Bartel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Industrial Equipment Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 13.37%, trailing the 20.56% return of the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index. However, the fund outperformed the broader market as measured by the S&P 500®. Relative to the sector index, the fund was hurt by its exposure to weak semiconductor equipment stocks, and by its avoidance of stocks in the strong-performing homebuilding, railroad, steel and agricultural chemical segments. Some of the biggest laggards in the semiconductor equipment group were Applied Materials and Teradyne, both of which suffered from declining orders and tepid end-user demand for semiconductors. In the case of diversified manufacturer Honeywell, the stock was held back by investors' concerns about the company's non-operating liabilities, including asbestos-related issues and environmental remediation expenses. Conversely, the fund's relative performance was aided by not owning auto manufacturers, by overweighting construction and farm machinery, and by underweighting auto parts and equipment. Heavy truck engine manufacturer Cummins was a strong contributor both in absolute terms and relative to the sector index, as demand for its diesel engines benefited from a cyclical recovery in heavy truck sales. Another contributor was Precision Castparts, a maker of titanium aircraft castings. The worldwide pickup in both passenger and freight air traffic - along with a surge in orders for new planes - boosted the stock.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jody Simes, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Industrial Materials Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 16.09%, trailing the 20.56% return of the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index. However, the fund easily outperformed the broader market as measured by the S&P 500®. Relative to its sector index, performance suffered due to the fund's exposure to out-of-index segments such as paper products, aluminum and gold stocks, all of which posted losses during the period. In aggregate, unfavorable security selection in Canada was largely offset by the fund's overweighting there and currency fluctuations. In the aluminum segment, Alcoa and Canadian firm Alcan were significant detractors. Both companies have production facilities outside the United States that were hurt by the weakening U.S. dollar, which put downward pressure on their revenues while increasing production costs. On the positive side, favorable stock selection and an overweighting in steel were beneficial, as was underweighting the weak auto manufacturing and auto parts/equipment segments. Canadian steel producer IPSCO was the top contributor on a relative basis and second-best in absolute terms. The stock almost tripled in response to strong demand for the company's steel plate and tubular products. Uranium producer Cameco - also based in Canada - was another holding that posted a triple-digit return. Renewed demand for nuclear power drove uranium prices higher during the period.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jill Jortner, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Transportation Portfolio on January 3, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
Fidelity Select Transportation Portfolio's shares were up 28.86% during the one-year period ending February 28, 2005, outperforming the 20.56% return for the Goldman Sachs® Cyclical Industries Index and the S&P 500®. Favorable security selection in and an overweighting of railroad, trucking, air, freight/logistics and oil tanker companies made the biggest contributions to the fund's performance relative to its sector index. These transportation segments benefited from a positive supply and demand scenario over the period. Among the fund's top performers were railroad companies Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Norfolk Southern. Trucking company Landstar System also boosted the fund's performance in absolute terms and relative to the sector index. In addition, international seaborne crude oil transportation service providers OMI Corporation and General Maritime turned in strong performances. In terms of disappointments, owning a number of commercial airline stocks, including AirTran, AMR - the parent of American Airlines - - and British Airways, held back the fund's relative results. Canadian regional jet and train maker Bombardier also underperformed.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Air Transportation Portfolio, Automotive Portfolio, Chemicals Portfolio, Construction and Housing Portfolio, Cyclical Industries Portfolio, Defense and Aerospace Portfolio, Environmental Portfolio, Industrial Equipment Portfolio, Industrial Materials Portfolio, and Transportation 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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
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 will claim 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 short-term capital gains, 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 and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each fund:

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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
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.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below.

4. 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.

Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 funds. 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 Earned | Interest | |
Industrial Materials Portfolio | Borrower | $ 1,695,923 | 1.12% | - | $ 687 |
Transportation Portfolio | Borrower | 23,366,000 | 2.39% | - | 1,549 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
Effective February 1, 2005, FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

8. 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, certain otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were owners of record of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following funds:
Number of | Unaffiliated | |
Cyclical Industries Portfolio | 1 | 24 |
Industrial Equipment Portfolio | 1 | 33 |
9. Litigation.
In October 2002, a lawsuit was commenced against Construction and Housing Portfolio and numerous other defendants as a defendants' class action suit by the Chapter 11 estate of Owens Corning. The Owens Corning estate alleges that 16 dividend payments made by Owens Corning between 1996 and the filing of Owens Corning's petition for Chapter 11 relief in October 2000 were fraudulent conveyances and, thus, the Owens Corning estate seeks to recover those dividends. During this period Construction and Housing Portfolio received dividends in the amount of $42,780. The lawsuit has been stayed by order of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware until August 31, 2005. The fund intends to defend the proceedings vigorously.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Select Banking Portfolio on February 28, 1995. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the S&P 500® Index performed over the same period.
Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Heather Lawrence, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Banking Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was up 2.68%, trailing both the 4.70% return for the Goldman Sachs® Financial Services Index and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark partly because it was overweighted in large-capitalization bank stocks, which generally didn't appreciate as much as mid- and small-cap stocks that made up a larger percentage of the bank holdings in the Goldman Sachs index. In addition, the fund wasn't exposed to many of the strong-performing financial services industries included in the broader index, such as real estate, investment management and life insurance. One of the fund's biggest detractors relative to its sector benchmark was not being invested in a few Canadian banks that performed quite well, such as Bank of Nova Scotia and Royal Bank of Canada. Among the holdings that were large positions in the fund but fared poorly were Northern Trust, Bank of New York, Fifth Third Bancorp and New York Community Bancorp, as they suffered from balance sheet issues, expense control problems or net interest margin compression. On the positive side of the ledger, two of the fund's largest positions - Wachovia and Bank of America - both appreciated nicely due to strong balance sheet growth and expense control. Other top contributors included SouthTrust and National Commerce Financial, two banks that were acquired during the period.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Brian Kennedy, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
The fund was up 1.96% during the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, trailing both the 4.70% return for the Goldman Sachs® Financial Services Index and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was overweighted in brokerage and investment banking stocks, a group that generally underperformed other financials, such as those in the regional bank, life insurance and real estate groups that made up a larger portion of the index. Among the fund's biggest detractors relative to its sector benchmark were overweighted positions in investment banking firms Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, as the stocks of both companies fell due to a slowdown in business conditions. Holdings in online brokerage companies Ameritrade Holding, Charles Schwab and E*TRADE Financial also declined. On the positive side of the ledger, investment management companies performed quite well, and this group also was a significant component of the fund. Several holdings in this industry, including Franklin Resources, Eaton Vance, T. Rowe Price and Legg Mason, appreciated nicely as flows into their investment products were strong.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Fruhan, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Financial Services Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Financial Services Portfolio had a total return of 3.29%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Financial Services Index, which returned 4.70%, and the S&P 500®. The fund lagged the Goldman Sachs index primarily because of underweightings in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and regional banks early in the period when these industries performed well as interest rates declined. I continued to underweight those two industries because I believed they were particularly vulnerable to the possibility of slowing profit growth when interest rates rise. Conversely, I overweighted securities brokers and consumer finance companies that I felt had the potential to continue to improve profits even in a rising interest rate environment. This emphasis helped performance in the final months of 2004 when many financial companies staged a brisk rally. Disappointing investments included: New York Community Bancorp, whose stock valuation fell as investors worried about the value of its portfolio of mortgage securities as interest rates rose; insurer American International Group, which declined after the New York attorney general announced an investigation into financial arrangements between insurance brokers and insurance companies; and Sovereign Bancorp, a Northeastern regional bank whose stock price fell after its chairman announced the company was not likely to be taken over by a larger institution. First Marblehead, whose primary business is securitizing student loans, was a strong contributor based on rapidly growing earnings, while securities brokers such as Morgan Stanley also helped performance.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Valerie Friedholm, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Home Finance Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Home Finance Portfolio fell 0.46%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Financial Services Index, which returned 4.70%, and the S&P 500®. The home finance industry is extremely sensitive to rising interest rates - generally more so than such other sector components as brokerage, insurance and banks. Thus, as the Federal Reserve Board tightened short-term rates during the period, mortgage industry stocks were impacted more negatively by rising rates than the rest of the sector. This was the principal reason that the fund lagged the sector index. Among stocks that detracted the most were New York Community Bancorp, which suffered as a result of being improperly positioned for a brief period of declining long-term rates late in the period; as well as Fannie Mae and, to a lesser extent, Freddie Mac, the major players in the secondary mortgage market, whose share prices fell on concerns about Fannie's accounting practices. Conversely, the fund benefited from a position in Charter One Financial, whose shares traded up nicely on news of its planned acquisition by Citizens Financial Group, and from certain holdings in the consumer finance industry that enjoyed market share gains, namely First Marblehead and Countrywide Financial.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Charles Hebard, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Insurance Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
Fidelity Select Insurance Portfolio gained 5.35% during the 12-month period ending February 28, 2005, outperforming the 4.70% return for the Goldman Sachs® Financial Services Index but underperforming the S&P 500®. Insurance stocks performed better than other groups within the financial services sector, such as banks and securities brokers, and the fund's concentration in insurance helped its performance versus its benchmark. However, the period presented numerous challenges, including deteriorating industry pricing, rising interest rates, four major hurricanes that led to significant losses in Florida, and an investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, which uncovered evidence of alleged collusion within the insurance industry. The fund's top-performing holdings included Genworth Financial, a provider of life and mortgage guarantee insurance; W.R. Berkley, an underwriter of specialty insurance; and Prudential Financial, a life insurance company. All three firms had consistent earnings growth that surpassed estimates. The biggest detractors were insurance broker Marsh & McLennan, which was implicated in the Spitzer investigation; AFLAC, a provider of supplemental health insurance that saw its sales growth deteriorate; and MBIA, a financial guarantor and provider of specialized financial services that also experienced slowing sales. Balancing the impact of the Marsh & McLennan disappointment, the fund took advantage of temporarily attractive valuation levels as stock prices swooned in the aftermath of the announcement of the investigations.

For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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), partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales.

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 Fidelity Management Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below. The Banking Portfolio realized a gain on the sale of an investment not meeting the investment restrictions of the fund.

4. 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 annual 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% | .27% | .57% |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |
Financial Services Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |
Home Finance Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |
Insurance Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |
Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, is the general distributor of the funds. Shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption or exchange to any other Fidelity fund (other than Select funds). For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | 2,733 | |
Financial Services Portfolio | 11,250 | |
Home Finance Portfolio | 1,854 | |
Insurance Portfolio | 648 |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Banking Portfolio | .31% | |
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio | .32% | |
Financial Services Portfolio | .32% | |
Home Finance Portfolio | .32% | |
Insurance Portfolio | .37% |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC 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.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 funds. Each applicable 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 Earned (included in | Interest | |
Financial Services Portfolio | Borrower | $ 7,576,000 | 2.75% | - | $ 580 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emer-gency 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Annual Report
7. 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.

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.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Banking Portfolio, Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, Home Finance Portfolio, and Insurance Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Banking Portfolio, Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio, Financial Services Portfolio, Home Finance Portfolio, and Insurance Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2005, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report
Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Harlan Carere, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Biotechnology Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was down 11.46%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index, which returned 1.37%, and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was significantly overweighted in biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks, two of the worst-performing industry components of the health care sector. In terms of individual disappointments, the fund's overweighted holdings in drug discovery companies Biogen Idec and Ireland-based Elan hurt its relative results, as both stocks declined sharply. Elsewhere, investors punished the stock of biotechnology firms Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Genentech, two additional overweighted positions relative to the sector benchmark. On the positive side of the ledger, among the fund's biggest contributors, both in absolute terms and relative to the Goldman Sachs index, were Sepracor, a drug discovery firm, and Affymetrix, a maker of biochips - computer chips that read DNA - and analytical instruments used in genetic research. Both of these stocks appreciated nicely. Other top-performing holdings were biopharmaceutical companies Celgene and Gilead Sciences.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Harlan Carere, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Health Care Portfolio on March 23, 2005, after the period covered by this report
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Health Care Portfolio returned 3.12%, beating the 1.37% gain for the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index but trailing the S&P 500®. Favorable stock picking and an underweighting in the poorly performing pharmaceuticals group provided the biggest boost to performance relative to the sector index. Political worries and slower growth in the number of prescriptions written held back the group as a whole, but the pharmaceutical stocks the fund overweighted - among them the more broadly diversified Johnson & Johnson and Abbott Laboratories - performed quite well. Solid stock picking and an overweighting in the robust health care equipment group helped as well, with such names as Guidant and Baxter International leading the way. Two managed care stocks - UnitedHealth Group and PacifiCare Health Systems - also contributed nicely, as optimistic investor sentiment following the national election drove large capital inflows into that group. The biggest drag on relative performance was not owning, or not owning enough of, certain names in the strong-performing managed care industry, including WellPoint Health Networks and Aetna. The fund's small position in Aetna is no longer held. Biotechnology stocks Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Genentech also detracted.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Sabel, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Medical Delivery Portfolio on January 3, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
During the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Medical Delivery Portfolio returned 42.86%, outperforming the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index, which returned 1.37%, and the S&P 500®. The fund did well versus the sector index mainly due to its large weighting and concentrated positions in managed care stocks - listed in the fund's holdings under health care providers and services - which performed well because of reduced costs, better pricing and the anticipation of the Medicare prescription drug benefit due to take effect in 2006. The fund also was helped by its very light weighting in hospital companies, which suffered from declining utilization rates resulting from higher co-pays and deductibles instituted by managed care companies. Among the holdings that particularly helped both absolute and relative performance were managed care stocks UnitedHealth Group, Humana, PacifiCare Health Systems and Aetna, as well as health services provider HealthSouth. Detractors from performance included pharmacy benefit management firm Caremark Rx, specialized disease-management company Matria Healthcare and assisted-living entity Omnicare. Shares of Omnicare declined due to fears that assisted living companies and nursing homes would face reimbursement cuts because of the implementation of the new Medicare prescription benefit.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Aaron Cooper, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio on March 23, 2005, after the period covered by this report
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio returned 13.49%, compared with the more modest gains of the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index, which rose 1.37%, and the S&P 500®. Consistent with its charter, the fund was heavily overweighted in medical equipment stocks, which did well as a group, and had limited exposure to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, which did poorly. Astute stock picking among medical device makers and an overweighting in health care supplies also contributed to the fund's strong relative performance. Among the biggest contributors were: Alcon, a Swiss eye-care products maker; Baxter International, which manufactures blood-related products; and Hologic, a maker of mammography imaging systems. Not owning a large enough stake in Johnson & Johnson, a strong-performer, hurt relative performance, as did the fund's position in Boston Scientific, the maker of drug-eluting coronary stents, whose stock tumbled on concerns about a maturing product cycle and a well-publicized recall of its Taxus Express stent.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Harlan Carere, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Pharmaceuticals Portfolio on January 12, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was down 3.46%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Health Care Index, which returned 1.37%, and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was significantly overweighted in pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks, two of the worst-performing industry components of the health care sector. In terms of individual disappointments, large positions in pharmaceutical companies AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Merck caused a good portion of the fund's negative return. Elsewhere, investors punished the stocks of biotechnology firms Genelabs Technologies and Myogen, two overweighted positions relative to the sector benchmark. On the positive side of the ledger, among the fund's biggest contributors, both in absolute terms and relative to the Goldman Sachs index, were U.S. pharmaceutical company Sepracor, a drug discovery firm, and European pharmaceutical companies GlaxoSmithKline, Sanofi-Aventis and Novartis, whose returns were helped in part by currency gains. All three of these stocks appreciated nicely.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Biotechnology Portfolio, Health Care Portfolio, Medical Delivery Portfolio, Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio, and Pharmaceuticals 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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Health Care Portfolio, non-interested 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 treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of each applicable fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is

required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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 short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each fund:
Cost for Federal | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized | |

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 Fidelity Management and Research Company (FMR), are retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

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.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below.
Purchases | Sales | |

Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 47,383,872 | 34,378,293 |
4. 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 annual 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% | .27% | .57% |
Health Care Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |

FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Biotechnology Portfolio | .36% | |
Health Care Portfolio | .31% | |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | .34% | |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | .35% | |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | .47% |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC 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.

Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 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 | Weighted | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest | |
Health Care Portfolio | Borrower | $ 7,857,500 | 1.93% | $ - | $ 843 |

5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Annual Report
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.
Expense | Reimbursement | |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 1.25%* - 2.50% | $ 2,532 |
*Expense limitation in effect at period end.
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 Service Arrangements | Custody Expense | Transfer Agent | |
Biotechnology Portfolio | $ 220,979 | $ - | $ 3,725 |
Health Care Portfolio | 247,560 | - | 5,018 |
Medical Delivery Portfolio | 300,449 | 230 | 527 |
Medical Equipment and Systems Portfolio | 117,230 | 870 | 1,024 |
Pharmaceuticals Portfolio | 10,703 | 83 | 517 |
8. 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.

These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.
Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid | |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,008.40 | $ 1.94 |
Hypothetical (5% return per year before expenses) | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,022.86 | $ 1.96 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of .39%; multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Money Market 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, 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 deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards, wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 37,248 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (72,446) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | (35,198) | |
Capital loss carryforward | 113,249 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 595,255,627 |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
February 28, 2005 | February 29, 2004 | |
Ordinary Income | $ 7,972,316 | $ 7,011,803 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage loan obligations which may be below investment-grade quality, and equity securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
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 Schedule of Investments.

3. 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 calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged ..13% 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. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.
During the period the income-based portion of this fee was $442,522 or an annualized rate of .07% of the fund's average net assets. For the period, the fund's total annualized management fee rate was .19% of the fund's average net assets.
Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, is the general distributor of the fund. Shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption or exchange to any other Fidelity fund (other than Select funds). For the period, FDC retained $41,842 on redemption of shares of the fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC 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 .16% of average net assets.
Accounting Fees. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 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 Earned | Interest |
Lender | $ 6,098,000 | 2.23% | $ 5,666 | $ - |
4. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian and 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 and transfer agent expenses by $170 and $3,907, respectively.
5. 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.

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Money Market Portfolio (a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2005 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Money Market Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at February 28, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matt Friedman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Energy Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, the fund returned 48.07%, outperforming both the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index, which gained 38.16%, and the S&P 500®. The largest contributor to the strong performance relative to the sector index was the portfolio's overweighted holdings in oil- and gas-related companies and its aggressive positioning for a higher commodity price environment. For example, returns were aided by investments in oil services stocks, including Halliburton and Varco International, which benefited from robust drilling activity during the period. Refiner Valero Energy's stock soared when strong demand for its oil processing technology translated into increased revenues and earnings. Burlington Resources, an independent natural gas driller, helped performance when it increased production and controlled costs to boost profit margins. On the other hand, investments in energy services companies Schlumberger and Smith International were disappointing, with both stocks falling on valuation concerns. France's Total SA detracted from returns when its profit margins were pressured. Dominion Resources also disappointed, as the company's utility division underperformed in the high oil price environment.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Nathan Strik, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Energy Service Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2005, the fund gained 38.68%, outpacing the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index, which returned 38.16%, and solidly outdistancing the S&P 500®. Oil and natural gas prices were very strong during the one-year period, hitting 20-year highs. This backdrop helped generate strong profitability and create excess cash flows for oil and natural gas producing companies that they, in turn, spent on energy services such as drilling and exploration. Helping fund performance was Transocean, the world's largest deep-water drilling company, which benefited from an extremely tight supply/demand balance for deep-water rigs. Varco International, which provides capital equipment to rig companies, including machinery repair and spare parts, experienced a rise in profitability due to the increased utilization of drilling rigs. On the downside, land drilling contractor Nabors Industries and oilfield services provider BJ Services detracted the most from performance. The fund was overweighted in both companies, which experienced disappointing results due to weaker-than-expected pricing power and cost pressures.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Daniel Dupont, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Gold Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 0.92%, which fell considerably short of the 38.16% return of the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index and also trailed the S&P 500®. As a group, gold stocks ended the period little changed from where they began it, while energy stocks, which make up roughly three-quarters of the Goldman Sachs index, registered strong gains driven by high crude oil prices. South African holding Harmony Gold was the largest detractor both in absolute terms and compared with the Goldman Sachs index. News that the company planned to acquire rival Gold Fields met with a cold reception from investors. Peru-based Buenaventura also hurt performance. Civil unrest at the company's Yanacocha mine was a negative factor for the stock. On the other hand, Australia-based Newcrest Mining was one of the fund's top contributors. The stock was reasonably valued, and the company executed well in the construction of its Telfer gold and copper mine. As Newcrest's share price rallied, I liquidated the position to lock in profits. Wheaton River Minerals also had a positive impact on performance, as the company was bought out by Goldcorp near the end of the period.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jonathan Zang, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Natural Gas Portfolio on January 3, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Natural Gas Portfolio had a total return of 52.01%, strongly outpacing both the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index, which posted a 38.16% gain, and the S&P 500®. Astute stock picking among coal companies provided the biggest contribution to the fund's strong performance versus the sector index. Stock selection and overweightings in the oil and gas refining industry and the exploration and production group also boosted returns. Among the strongest performers were such names as oil refiners Valero Energy and Premcor, as well as coal producers Peabody Energy and Massey Energy. Performance was held back somewhat by the fund's significantly underweighted position in integrated oil and gas companies included in the sector index, such as Exxon Mobil, which did well. We had a lighter exposure here partly because of the fund's focus on natural gas and partly because we were able to find better growth opportunities elsewhere. Also detracting was drill rig operator Nabors Industries, which disappointed when its business fundamentals did not improve as much as investors expected.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matt Friedman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Natural Resources Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, the fund returned 37.51%, modestly underperforming the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index, which gained 38.16%, but outpacing the S&P 500® index, which returned 6.98%. Although the fund had strong absolute returns, it marginally underperformed the sector index due to its higher concentration in energy companies and aggressive positioning for a higher commodity price environment. When oil prices fell temporarily, some of these holdings were adversely affected. However, overall returns were aided during the year by investments in oil services stocks, including Halliburton and Varco International, which benefited from robust drilling activity during the period. Refiners Valero Energy and Holly Corp. also generated strong gains in a positive refining environment. Holdings in large integrated oil and gas companies helped the fund both on an absolute basis and relative to the sector index. On the other hand, investments in metals companies hampered returns. Both gold producer Newmont Mining and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold were hurt by the weak U.S dollar and unfavorable currency translation issues. Several paper-related holdings, including Smurfit-Stone Container and International Paper, held back returns when they were unable to pass on cost increases to their customers, and their profit margins were squeezed.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Anmol Mehra, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 0.37%, compared with 38.16% for the Goldman Sachs® Natural Resources Index. The fund also finished well off the pace of the S&P 500®. Paper and forest stocks suffered from tepid demand in the paper products area, while energy stocks, comprising approximately three-quarters of the Goldman Sachs index, were boosted by high crude oil prices. Smurfit-Stone Container - a maker of containerboard and the fund's largest holding at period end - was its largest detractor compared with the sector index and the fourth-largest detractor in absolute terms. Despite narrowing its fourth-quarter loss, costs associated with the severe hurricane season of 2004 delayed the company's earnings recovery. Meanwhile, the stock of newsprint manufacturer Bowater declined due to disappointing demand. On the positive side, containerboard maker Temple-Inland was the fund's top absolute contributor. In addition to benefiting from comparatively strong supply and demand conditions, there was speculation that the company might be taken over. Also aiding the fund's performance was building and paper products stock Georgia-Pacific, the beneficiary of a relatively healthy housing industry, progress in repairing its balance sheet and easing concerns about its potential asbestos liability.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio, Natural Resources Portfolio, and Paper and Forest Products 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 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 Gold Portfolio and Natural Resources Portfolio may also invest in certain precious metals. 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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 will claim 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 short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
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.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding.

5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Annual Report
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.

* Expense limitation in effect at period end.
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.

8. 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.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Nicola Stafford, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio on October 26, 2004
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
Fidelity Select Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio was up 11.26% during the one-year period ending February 28, 2005, outperforming the - -5.34% return for the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index, and the S&P 500®. A significant overweighting in Indian outsourcing companies made a sizable contribution to the fund's performance relative to its sector index. India-based Infosys Technologies and U.S.-based Cognizant Technology Solutions and Kanbay International each benefited from the outsourcing trend to India and were top contributors to the fund's absolute and relative performance. The fund also was helped by an overweighting in business process outsourcing, or BPO, companies, such as Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), which turned in a strong performance. BPO companies are listed in the fund's holdings under IT Services. DaVita, which provides dialysis services for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also boosted the fund's performance. In terms of disappointments, payroll outsourcing company Ceridian Corporation hurt on an absolute basis, while domestic consulting and systems integration firm BearingPoint and The BISYS Group, which provides services to various financial industries, held back the fund's relative performance. The fund also was hurt by owning few or no shares of such well-known computer companies as Apple Computer and Microsoft, which were components of the sector index and performed well over the period.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Naved Khan, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Computers Portfolio on January 12, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
During the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, Fidelity Select Computers Portfolio returned -7.60%, underperforming the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index, which returned -5.34%, and the S&P 500®. The fund suffered from its overweighting relative to the Goldman Sachs index in semiconductor stocks, which lagged due to an inventory buildup and weak end-market demand. Carrying an underweighting in software stocks also held back relative performance. Helping performance was an overweighted position relative to the sector index in computer hardware stocks. Individual holdings that detracted versus the index included semiconductor firms Analog Devices, Conexant, Agere Systems, Xilinx, Texas Instruments and Micron Technology. The fund's large stake in networking giant Cisco Systems hurt its absolute performance, as the stock declined nearly 25%. Cisco's revenue growth declined due to weaker-than-expected corporate and government spending on its products. On the plus side, the fund's investment in Apple Computer bolstered performance, based on strong sales of its iPod digital music player. Dell Computer also fared well due to market share gains and consistent earnings and revenue growth, as did Google, which rose after the company's well-received initial public offering (IPO) in August. The fund no longer owns the stock. PalmOne was another contributor, fueled by the introduction of its new Treo 650 mobile phone/e-mail device, which jump-started the company's revenue growth. Lastly, SigmaTel, which makes memory chips for iPods, benefited from strong revenue and earnings growth.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Charlie Chai, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Developing Communications Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned -12.74%, well behind the S&P 500® and the -5.34% return of the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index. More than anything, a substantial overweighting in the wireline telecommunications equipment area weighed on the fund's relative returns, although my stock selection in the group offset a lot of the negative impact. The stock that hurt performance most both in absolute terms and relative to the sector index was wireline equipment maker CIENA, as slack demand from telecom service providers hurt the stock. French networking equipment provider Alcatel also had a negative impact on performance. Its stock dropped sharply when the company announced earnings that fell short of estimates for the fourth quarter of 2004. On the other hand, the fund was aided by large overweightings in wireless telecom equipment and wireless telecom services. Mobile handset maker Motorola - a top-10 holding on average during the period - was a significant contributor, as the company impressed investors with the introduction of its sleek RAZR V3 handset. Comverse Technology was another strong contributor to both absolute and relative performance, its stock benefiting from robust sales of its next-generation wireless messaging software.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jim Morrow, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Electronics Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund was down 10.85%, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index, which fell 5.34%, and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was significantly overweighted in semiconductor manufacturing and semiconductor equipment stocks, two of the worst-performing industry components of the technology sector. In terms of disappointments, the fund's holdings in chip makers Analog Devices, Intel, Fairchild Semiconductor, LSI Logic and Lattice Semiconductor all declined significantly due to a higher-than-expected level of inventory in some markets. Elsewhere, investors punished the stock of semiconductor equipment firm Teradyne, another sizable position in the portfolio. On the positive side of the ledger, among the fund's biggest contributors, both in absolute terms and relative to the Goldman Sachs index, were Taiwan-based electronics contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industries and South Korea-based diversified electronics maker LG Electronics - two stocks not held by the sector benchmark that rallied as both companies gained market share. Other top-performing holdings were semiconductor manufacturing companies Marvell Technology and Volterra Semiconductor.

Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Charlie Chai, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned -19.55%, well off the pace of the -5.34% return of the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index and even further behind the S&P 500®. Stock selection and an overweighting in semiconductors weighed heavily on the fund's performance versus the sector index, with chip maker Agere Systems finishing the period as its largest detractor in both absolute and relative terms. The stock was hampered by disappointing end-user demand in the information storage market and also by some difficulties in executing its business strategy. In the case of Juniper Networks - another detractor - the company was beginning to grab more market share in the corporate enterprise networking space, but overall tepid demand from the enterprise and telecom carrier segments depressed the stock. On the positive side, Marvell Technology Group - the fund's largest holding on average during the period - was easily its top contributor by both absolute and relative measures. The semiconductor company landed some lucrative design contracts with Intel and other customers. Another contributor, Packeteer, provides wide area network (WAN) optimization systems. With a dominant market share and rapidly growing demand for a product that saves its customers money, the company's stock posted an exceptionally strong return.

Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Kelly Cardwell, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Software and Computer Services Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
Fidelity Select Software and Computer Services Portfolio had a disappointing year, underperforming both its sector benchmark and the broader stock market. For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned -6.43%, compared with -5.34% for the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index and 6.98% for the S&P 500®. The fund lagged the Goldman Sachs index primarily because it was overweighted in a few key holdings that underperformed - namely software companies BEA Systems and Blue Coat Systems, and Internet service provider United Online. BEA was the largest detractor by far relative to the sector benchmark. However, I felt the company still had solid prospects, and it remained a significant holding at period end. On the positive side, Indian outsourcing firms Infosys Technologies and Satyam Computer Services made contributions to returns, as both companies benefited from the lower-cost, highly educated labor force in India.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jim Morrow, who became Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Technology Portfolio on January 12, 2005
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
The fund was down 6.73% during the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, trailing both the Goldman Sachs® Technology Index, which fell 5.34%, and the S&P 500® index. The fund underperformed its sector benchmark primarily because it was overweighted in semiconductor manufacturing stocks, one of the worst-performing industry components of the technology sector. In addition, weaker performance in the communications equipment market also hurt the fund's performance relative to its index. In terms of individual disappointments, the fund's holdings in chip makers Intel, Analog Devices, Agere Systems, Conexant Systems and Integrated Circuit Systems all declined significantly due to elevated inventories in some markets. Elsewhere, investors also punished the stock of telecommunications equipment makers CIENA and Enterasys Networks. Among the fund's biggest contributors both in absolute terms and relative to the Goldman Sachs index were personal computer maker Apple Computer, Internet search provider Google and Taiwan-based electronics contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industries. Other top-performing holdings were electronic parts manufacturers Marvell Technology and SigmaTel.

For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio, Computers Portfolio, Developing Communications Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio, and Technology 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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Electronics Portfolio, non-interested 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 treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of each applicable fund or are invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
In late September, India's Ministry of Finance confirmed that effective October 1, 2004, the tax on long-term capital gains was eliminated and the short-term capital gain tax rate was reduced from 33.66% to 11.22%. At September 30, 2004, the impact of the change resulted in a reduction in the deferred foreign tax liability and a corresponding increase in net asset value of the funds as follows:
Amount | Per-share | |
Business Services Portfolio | $ 64,136 | $ 0.023 |
Software and Computer Services Portfolio | 2,872,963 | 0.187 |
Additionally, effective October 1, 2004 India's Ministry of Finance charges a securities transactions tax, levied at the rate of 0.075% on the value of all equity securities transactions traded on a recognized Indian stock exchange. The transaction tax will be included in the net amount of purchases and sales of securities.
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 short-term capital gains, foreign currency transactions, market discount, net operating losses, deferred trustee compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each fund:
Cost for | Unrealized | Unrealized | Net Unrealized | |

All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management and Research Company (FMR), are retained by the funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).

2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
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.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

4. 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 annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets was as follows:

Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee.

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 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 Earned | Interest | |
Computers Portfolio | Borrower | $ 10,292,000 | 2.40% | $ - | $ 2,739 |

Technology Portfolio | Borrower | $ 13,671,714 | 2.36% | $ - | $ 6,287 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse certain 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, are excluded from this reimbursement.
Expense | Reimbursement | |
Business Services and Outsourcing Portfolio | 1.25%* - 2.50 | $ 2,013 |
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.
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 Service | Custody | Transfer | |

8. 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.

Annual Report
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on redemptions or certain exchanges of shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, redemption fees and exchange 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 (September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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.
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.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Telecommunications Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months that ended February 28, 2005, the fund returned -1.40%, trailing both the 15.19% return for the Goldman Sachs® Utilities Index and the S&P 500®. Unlike the Goldman Sachs index, the fund had a sizable stake in telecommunications equipment stocks, which declined sharply as investors worried about valuations and the outlook for demand. Detractors included Nortel Networks and Cisco Systems. The fund also had an overweighting relative to the sector index in the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs), which retreated late in the period as investors grew concerned about the impact of newly announced mergers and acquisitions. The biggest disappointment was Qwest Communications International, which continued to bid for MCI's assets even after Verizon Communications had struck a merger deal with the long-distance carrier. Relative performance also suffered from the fund's lack of exposure to electric utilities, a major index component that did quite well. On the positive side were wireless services stocks such as NII Holdings, which operates in Latin America, and Nextel Partners, a Nextel Communications affiliate that focuses on rural U.S. markets. Both stocks rallied sharply amid strong subscriber growth.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Utilities Growth Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index.

The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 19.90%, outpacing both the Goldman Sachs® Utilities Index, which returned 15.19%, and the S&P 500®. Strong stock picking in electric utilities and wireless telecommunication services more than overcame weak performance from the fund's wireline telecom services stocks. TXU, a Texas-based electric utility, was a top contributor relative to the index. It posted huge gains as new management implemented a restructuring plan that helped the company deliver strong earnings growth. American Tower, a wireless tower company, and NII Holdings, a wireless services provider in Latin America, also were top performers relative to the index. Both stocks benefited as continued strong demand for wireless services boosted their financial results. On the negative side, EchoStar Communications, a large satellite broadcaster, hurt relative returns as investors became concerned that competition would increase. Overweightings in Regional Bell Operating Companies BellSouth, Qwest Communications International and Verizon Communications also detracted from relative returns as proposed mergers and acquisitions within the industry pressured the stocks.

Annual Report
Performance
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Brian Younger, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Select Wireless Portfolio
Stocks got off to a shaky start in the first month of the new year, but most major equity benchmarks managed to cling to their gains for the 12 months ending February 28, 2005. Small-cap stocks continued a six-year-plus run of outperforming large-caps, as the small-cap Russell 2000® Index gained 9.53% during the period, compared to 6.98% for the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. Mid-caps were among the market's biggest gainers, highlighted by the 14.98% rise in the Russell Midcap® Index. Turning to investment styles, value significantly outdistanced growth. The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 13.71%, versus 1.47% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy was the best-performing sector, spurred by record-high oil prices. Technology fared worst, despite a strong rally in the fourth quarter of 2004. However, a good portion of that gain was wiped out in January and February, leaving the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index with a modest 1.64% increase for the one-year period. Large-cap blue-chip stocks fared somewhat better, but the 3.96% return of the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM was well under its historical average of roughly 11%.
For the 12 months ending February 28, 2005, the fund returned 17.32%, beating both the Goldman Sachs® Utilities Index, which returned 15.19%, and the S&P 500®. Strong performance from wireless stocks, along with positive stock selection, bolstered the fund's returns. Wireless services stocks rallied as subscribers and usage rates grew, while equipment and infrastructure stocks benefited as the carriers stepped up spending to expand their offerings. Companies' financial performance improved across the industry. The fund benefited from overweightings relative to the sector index in several top-performing wireless stocks. The biggest contributor was PalmOne, which benefited from growing demand for its Treo multi-functional compact wireless product. I sold PalmOne to take profits. In addition, several wireless carriers helped relative returns, including Nextel Partners, which operates in secondary U.S. markets, and NII Holdings, which provides walkie-talkie-type services in Latin America. Both stocks benefited from strong demand for their services. Wireless equipment stocks were the biggest detractors from relative performance. The fund had overweightings in handset makers Motorola and Finland's Nokia, as well as Swedish equipment manufacturer Ericsson, all of which suffered from real or anticipated competitive pressures.

Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended February 28, 2005
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Telecommunications Portfolio, Utilities Growth Portfolio, and Wireless 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 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 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. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, each fund intends to calculate a NAV each hour on the hour (until one hour prior to the close of business on the NYSE) under normal business conditions. Each fund's investments are valued as of these times for the purpose of computing the fund's hourly NAV. Fidelity may suspend the calculation of one or more hourly NAVs for any period in which prices for a portion of the stocks or securities held by the funds are not readily available. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
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. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. 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 fund estimates 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 is 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 the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. 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. 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 capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital. Shareholders are also subject to an additional $7.50 fee for shares exchanged into another Fidelity fund (see Note 4).
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. Certain funds may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, are noted in the table below.
Purchases ($) | Sales ($) | |
Telecommunications Portfolio | 203,238,413 | 301,760,484 |

4. 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 annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each fund's average net assets was as follows:
Individual Rate | Group Rate | Total | |
Telecommunications Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .57% |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .58% |
Wireless Portfolio | .30% | .27% | .58% |
Sales Load. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, is the general distributor of the funds. Shares purchased prior to October 12, 1990, are subject to a 1% deferred sales charge upon redemption or exchange to any other Fidelity fund (other than Select funds). For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:
Retained | ||
Telecommunications Portfolio | $ 8,447 | |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | 11,393 | |
Wireless Portfolio | 2,435 |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to the following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net assets:
Telecommunications Portfolio | .43% | |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | .35% | |
Wireless Portfolio | .37% |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. FSC 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.
Central Funds. The funds may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the funds are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements. Distributions from the Central Funds are noted in the table below:
Income | ||
Telecommunications Portfolio | $ 38,747 | |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | 60,737 | |
Wireless Portfolio | 140,779 |
Exchange Fees. FSC receives the proceeds of $7.50 to cover administrative costs associated with exchanges out of the funds to any other Fidelity Select fund or to any other Fidelity fund. For the period, exchange fees retained by FSC were as follows:
Retained | ||
Telecommunications Portfolio | $ 8,093 | |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | 4,575 | |

Annual Report
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by 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 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 Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense | |
Telecommunications Portfolio | Borrower | $9,200,250 | 1.39% | - | $ 1,418 |
Wireless Portfolio | Borrower | $6,462,933 | 2.02% | - | $ 5,445 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain funds participate with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. 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 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 Service Arrangements | Transfer | |
Telecommunications Portfolio | $ 233,524 | $ - |
Utilities Growth Portfolio | 80,493 | 146 |
Wireless Portfolio | 264,077 | 1,911 |
8. 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.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
(e) (2) | Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X: |
Audit-Related Fees:
There were no amounts, including amounts related to non-audit services prior to May 6, 2003 that would have been subject to pre-approval if the SEC rules relating to the pre-approval of non-audit services had been in effect at that time, that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2005 and February 29, 2004 on behalf of each fund.
