Voting is quick and easy. Please vote now using one of these options:

Please call the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and follow the recorded instructions. The service is available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. |

In the event that you receive a telephone call from a D.F. King & Co., Inc. representative, you may be asked to verify certain personal information for identification verification.
If you have already voted, thank you for your response. If you have any further questions or would like to receive another copy of the proxy statement, please call Fidelity at1-800-544-3198. We appreciate your immediate attention. Thank you.
Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposal
Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposal to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.
What proposal am I being asked to vote on?
You are being asked to vote on a merger between Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio and Communications Equipment Portfolio, another fund of the trust. Specifically, you are being asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) that provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio to Communications Equipment Portfolio in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Communications Equipment Portfolio and the assumption by Communications Equipment Portfolio of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio's liabilities. Communications Equipment Portfolio's shares then will be distributed to shareholders of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio following liquidation of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio.
Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved the merger?
Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that you vote to approve it.
What are the reasons for and advantages of the proposed merger?
Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio is a small and narrowly focused fund. The proposed merger of Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio into Communications Equipment Portfolio would provide Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio shareholders with a larger portfolio with similar holdings and better historical performance. As a result of recent consolidation within the industry, there is considerable overlap between each fund's investment universe, and thus the surviving fund will maintain considerable exposure to the networking and infrastructure industry. In addition, if the merger is approved, Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio shareholders are expected to benefit from an estimated 7 basis points (0.07% of its average net assets) reduction in total expenses (based on data for the 12 months ended August 31, 2008).
Do the funds being merged have similar investment objectives and policies?
Both funds share the same investment objective. The funds also have similar strategies, but Communications Equipment Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of companies principally engaged in the development, manufacture, or sale of communications equipment. This investment universe includes many companies traditionally defined as networking and infrastructure companies.
Will Communications Equipment Portfolio revise its investment policies if the merger is approved?
Fidelity Management & Research Co. (FMR) has no plans to revise Communications Equipment Portfolio's investment policies as a result of the merger. In addition, FMR does not anticipate any changes to the fund's management or to entities that provide the fund with services.
Who is the fund manager for Communications Equipment Portfolio?
Yun-Min (Charlie) Chai is currently the portfolio manager of Communications Equipment Portfolio and is expected to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund immediately after the Reorganization.
Who bears the expenses associated with the merger?
As is typical in the case of a merger proposal, Networking and Infrastructure Portfolio shareholders will bear the cost of the Reorganization. Networking and Infrastructure expenses have not exceeded the voluntary expense cap.
How do the expense structures of the funds compare?
Each fund pays its management fee and other expenses separately. FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund to the extent that total operating expenses exceed 1.15% of the funds' average net assets.
If the merger is approved by shareholders, the combined fund will retain Communications Equipment Portfolio's expense structure. In addition, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the combined fund at the current expense cap levels of Communications Equipment Portfolio. This expense cap may be discontinued by FMR at any time.
How will you determine the number of shares of Communications Equipment Portfolio that I will receive?
As of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on the Closing Date of the merger, the number of shares to be issued will be based on the relative net asset values of each fund at the time of the exchange. The anticipated Closing Date is June 19, 2009.
Is the merger considered a taxable event to shareholders for federal income tax purposes?
No. Each fund will receive an opinion of counsel that the merger will not result in any gain or loss for federal income tax purposes to the shareholders of either fund.
What if there are not enough votes to reach quorum by the scheduled shareholder meeting date or if the proposal is not approved?
To facilitate receiving a sufficient number of votes, we will need to take further action. D.F. King & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm, or Fidelity, may contact you by mail or telephone. Therefore, we encourage shareholders to vote as soon as they review the enclosed proxy materials to avoid additional mailings or telephone calls.
If there are not sufficient votes to approve your fund's proposal by the time of your Shareholder Meeting (May 19, 2009), the meeting may be adjourned to permit further solicitation of proxy votes.
In the event that the Reorganization is not approved, the Board may consider other options for reorganizing or liquidating the fund.
What role does the Board play?
The Trustees serve as the fund shareholders' representatives. Members of the Board are fiduciaries and have an obligation to serve the best interests of shareholders, including approving policy changes. In addition, the Trustees review fund performance, oversee fund activities, and review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund.
What is the affiliation of the Board and Fidelity?
The Board consists of 10 individuals. The purpose of the Board is to ensure that the shareholders' best interests are protected in the operation of a mutual fund. There are two "interested" trustees and eight "Independent" trustees. Trustees are determined to be "interested" by virtue of, among other things, their affiliation with the funds, trust, or various other entities under common control with FMR. Interested Trustees are compensated by FMR. Independent Trustees have no affiliation with FMR and are compensated by each individual fund.
Who is D.F. King & Co., Inc.?
D.F. King & Co., Inc. is a third party proxy vendor that Fidelity hires to call shareholders and record proxy votes. In order to hold a shareholder meeting, quorum must be reached - which is one-third of the shares entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the shareholder meeting. If quorum is not attained, the meeting may adjourn to a future date. Fidelity attempts to reach shareholders via multiple mailings to remind them to cast their vote. As the meeting approaches, phone calls may be made to clients who have not yet voted their shares so that the shareholder meeting does not have to be postponed.
Voting your shares immediately will help minimize additional solicitation expenses and prevent the need to make a call to you to solicit your vote.
How many votes am I entitled to cast?
As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own of the fund on the record date. The record date is March 23, 2009.
How do I vote my shares?
You can vote your shares by completing and signing the enclosed proxy card(s) and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You may also vote by touch-tone telephone by calling the toll-free number printed on your proxy card(s) and following the recorded instructions. In addition, you may vote through the internet by visitingwww.proxyweb.com/proxyand following the on-line instructions. If you need any assistance, or have any questions regarding the proposals or how to vote your shares, please call Fidelity at 1-800-544-3198.
How do I sign the proxy card?
Individual Accounts: Shareholders should sign exactly as their names appear on the account registration shown on the card.
Joint Accounts: Either owner may sign, but the name of the person signing should conform exactly to a name shown in the registration.
All Other Accounts: The person signing must indicate his or her capacity. For example, a trustee for a trust or other entity should sign, "Ann B. Collins, Trustee."

Important information to help you understand and vote on the proposal
Please read the full text of the proxy statement. Below is a brief overview of the proposal to be voted upon. Your vote is important. We appreciate you placing your trust in Fidelity and look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals.
What proposal am I being asked to vote on?
You are being asked to vote on a merger between Paper and Forest Products Portfolio and Materials Portfolio, another fund of the trust. Specifically, you are being asked to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) that provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio to Materials Portfolio in exchange solely for shares of beneficial interest of Materials Portfolio and the assumption by Materials Portfolio of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio's liabilities. Materials Portfolio's shares then will be distributed to shareholders of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio following liquidation of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio.
Has the fund's Board of Trustees approved the merger?
Yes. The Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that you vote to approve it.
What are the reasons for and advantages of the proposed merger?
Paper and Forest Products Portfolio is a small and narrowly focused fund. The proposed merger of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio into Materials Portfolio would provide Paper and Forest Products Portfolio shareholders with a larger portfolio with more diverse holdings and better historical performance. The surviving fund would invest across the entire materials sector, of which companies in the paper and forest products industry are a part. In addition, if the merger is approved, Paper and Forest Products Portfolio shareholders are expected to benefit from an estimated 26 basis points (0.26% of its average net assets) reduction in total expenses (based on data for the 12 months ended August 31, 2008).
Do the funds being merged have similar investment objectives and policies?
Both funds share the same investment objective. The funds also have similar strategies, but Materials Portfolio normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of companies principally engaged in the manufacture, mining, processing, or distribution of raw materials and intermediate goods. This investment universe includes those companies traditionally defined as paper and forest products companies.
Will Materials Portfolio revise its investment policies if the merger is approved?
Fidelity Management & Research Co. (FMR) has no plans to revise Materials Portfolio's investment policies as a result of the merger. In addition, FMR does not anticipate any changes to the fund's management or to entities that provide the fund with services.
What risks are associated with an investment in Materials?
The materials industries can be significantly affected by the level and volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import controls, worldwide competition, liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.
Who is the fund manager for Materials Portfolio?
Tobias Welo is currently the portfolio manager of Materials Portfolio and is expected to be responsible for portfolio management of the combined fund immediately after the Reorganization.
Who bears the expenses associated with the merger?
As is typical in the case of a merger proposal, Paper and Forest Products Portfolio shareholders will bear the cost of the Reorganization. However, if Paper and Forest Products Portfolio's expenses continue to exceed the voluntary expense cap as they do today, FMR ultimately will bear the costs associated with the proxy solicitation through reimbursements paid to the fund.
How do the expense structures of the funds compare?
Each fund pays its management fee and other expenses separately. FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse each fund to the extent that total operating expenses exceed 1.15% of the funds' average net assets.
If the merger is approved by shareholders, the combined fund will retain Materials Portfolio's expense structure. In addition, FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the combined fund at the current expense cap levels of Materials Portfolio. This expense cap may be discontinued by FMR at any time.
