COMPUTERS PORTFOLIO
CONSUMER FINANCE PORTFOLIO
TO BE HELD ON OCTOBER 20, 2021
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with a solicitation of proxies made by, and on behalf of, the Board of Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the trust) to be used at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of Computers Portfolio and Consumer Finance Portfolio (the funds) and at any adjournments thereof (the Meeting), to be held on October 20, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. In light of public health concerns regarding COVID-19, the Board of Trustees and Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), the fund’s investment adviser, have determined that the Meeting will be held in a virtual format only. The Meeting will be accessible solely by means of remote audio communication. You will not be able to attend the meeting in person.
Shareholders of other funds in the trust, Air Transportation Portfolio, Communications Equipment Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, and Natural Gas Portfolio, will also participate in the Meeting and have been mailed a separate notice and proxy statement relating to proposals to be voted upon by the shareholders of those funds.
The purpose of the Meeting is set forth in the accompanying Notice. The solicitation is being made primarily by the mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card on or about August 23, 2021. Supplementary solicitations may be made by mail, telephone, facsimile, electronic means or by personal interview by representatives of the trust. In addition, Computershare Fund Services (“Computershare”) may be paid on a per-call basis to solicit shareholders by telephone on behalf of the funds. The funds may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone. Computershare may be paid on a per-call basis for vote-by-phone solicitations on behalf of the funds. The approximate anticipated total cost of these services is as follows:
Fund Name | Estimated aggregate cost for Computershare to call and solicit votes | Estimated aggregate cost for Computershare to receive votes over the phone | ||||||
Computers Portfolio | $ | 500 | $ | 350 | ||||
Consumer Finance Portfolio | $ | 500 | $ | 350 |
If the funds record votes by telephone or through the internet, they will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities, to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded. Proxies voted by telephone or through the internet may be revoked at any time before they are voted.
For Computers Portfolio and Consumer Finance Portfolio, the expenses in connection with preparing this Proxy Statement and its enclosures and all solicitations will be paid by each fund.
The funds will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares.
The principal business address of FMR, each fund’s investment adviser is 245 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. The principal business address of Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), each fund’s principal underwriter and distribution agent, is 900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917. FMR Investment Management (UK) Limited, at 1 St. Martin’s Le Grand, London, EC1A 4AS, United Kingdom; Fidelity Management & Research (Hong Kong) Limited, at Floor 19, 41 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong; and Fidelity Management & Research (Japan) Limited, at Kamiyacho Prime Place at 1-17, Toranomon-4-Chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan are also sub-advisers to each fund.
If the enclosed proxy is executed and returned, or an internet or telephonic vote is delivered, that vote may nevertheless be revoked at any time prior to its use by written notification received by the trust, by the execution of a later-dated proxy, by the trust’s receipt of a subsequent valid internet or telephonic vote, or by virtually attending the Meeting and voting.
All proxies solicited by the Board of Trustees that are properly executed and received by the Secretary prior to the Meeting, and are not revoked, will be voted at the Meeting. Shares represented by such proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. If no specification is made on a properly executed proxy, it will be voted FOR the matters specified on the proxy. All shares that are voted and votes to ABSTAIN will be counted towards establishing a quorum.
With respect to fund shares held in Fidelity individual retirement accounts (including Traditional, Rollover, SEP, SARSEP, Roth and SIMPLE IRAs), the IRA Custodian will vote those shares for which it has received instructions from shareholders only in accordance with such instructions. If Fidelity IRA shareholders do not vote their shares, the IRA Custodian will vote their shares for them, in the same proportion as other Fidelity IRA shareholders have voted.
One-third of each fund’s outstanding voting securities entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. If a quorum is not present at the Meeting, or if a quorum is present at the Meeting but sufficient votes to approve one or more of the proposed items are not received, or if other matters arise requiring shareholder attention, the persons named as proxy agents may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of a majority of those shares present at the Meeting or represented by proxy. When voting on a proposed adjournment, the persons named as proxy agents will vote FOR the proposed adjournment all shares that they are entitled to vote with respect to each item, unless directed to vote AGAINST an item, in which case such shares will be voted AGAINST the proposed adjournment with respect to that item. A shareholder vote may be taken on one or more of the items in this Proxy Statement prior to such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received and it is otherwise appropriate. Please visit www.fidelity.com/proxies to determine the status of this scheduled Meeting.
Shares of each fund issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 are indicated in the following table:
Number of Shares | ||
Computers Portfolio | [________] | |
Consumer Finance Portfolio | [________] |
[As of June 30, 2021, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board (if any) and officers of the trust owned, in the aggregate, less than 1% of each fund’s outstanding shares.]
[To the knowledge of the trust, substantial (5% or more) record and/or beneficial ownership of each fund as of June 30, 2021 was as follows:]
To the knowledge of the trust, no [other] shareholder owned of record or beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the funds as of June 30, 2021.
FMR has advised the trust that certain shares are registered to FMR or an FMR affiliate.

Although the terms of the plans and agreements vary, generally the shares must be voted either (i) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders or (ii) in accordance with instructions received from shareholders and, for shareholders who do not vote, in the same proportion as certain other shareholders have voted.

VOTE REQUIRED: Approval of Proposals 1 and 2 requires the affirmative vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the appropriate fund. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. With respect to each proposal, votes to ABSTAIN will have the same effect as votes cast AGAINST the proposal.
PROPOSAL 1
TO MODIFY COMPUTERS PORTFOLIO’S FUNDAMENTAL
CONCENTRATION POLICY
The purpose of this proposal is to modify the fundamental industry concentration policy for Computers Portfolio in order to align it with the repositioning of the fund to tech hardware. This proposal requests approval of the changes to the fund’s industry concentration policy. The repositioning of the fund does not require shareholder approval.
Computers Portfolio’s current fundamental industry concentration policy states: “The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the computers industries.”
The 1940 Act requires funds to state a policy regarding concentration of investments in a particular industry, and to make the policy fundamental (changeable only by shareholder vote). The SEC has taken the position that a fund that invests more than 25% of its total assets in a particular industry is concentrating its investments. The fund is seeking shareholder approval to change the concentration policy in order to align the policy with the fund’s new name and investment policies that will take effect on or about November 13, 2021.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, has approved, and recommends that shareholders of Computers Portfolio vote to modify this policy to state: “The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the [computers industries] tech hardware industry.” (proposed additional language is underlined, deleted language is [bracketed]).
If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the fund’s fundamental industry concentration policy will change to reflect the tech hardware industry name. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders, FMR plans to manage the fund under its current concentration policy.
Currently, Computers Portfolio invests in companies principally engaged in research, design, development, manufacture, or distribution of products, processes, or services that relate to currently available or experimental hardware technology within the computer industry.
As approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees, effective on or about November 13, 2021, Computers Portfolio will be repositioned as a tech hardware fund, which involves changing the fund name to Tech Hardware Portfolio and changing the fund’s investment policy to “invest at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged in development, manufacture, or distribution of tech hardware.”
The repositioned fund will continue to offer shareholders exposure to computers, but will expand to include consumer electronics, communications equipment, and network security. Repositioning the fund will benefit existing shareholders by better reflecting how the computers industry has evolved over time, providing exposure to all of the interconnected parts of the “computers” industry, including communications equipment.
The changes to the fund’s name, investment policy, and supplemental benchmark discussed above are not subject to shareholder approval and will take effect on or about November 13, 2021 even if shareholders do not approve the change to the fund’s concentration policy.
For more information regarding changes to the fund’s investment policy that will take effect on or about November 13, 2021, please see the fund’s prospectus dated April 29, 2021, as supplemented.
In addition, in connection with the repositioning, Computer Portfolio’s supplemental benchmark will be changed from the FactSet Computers & Peripherals Linked Index to the FactSet Technology Hardware Index, which is designed to track the performance of companies engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of technology hardware companies. FactSet uses the Revere Business Industry Classification System (RBICS) framework to classify issuers for purposes of the index, which will also be used to classify issuers for purposes of industry or sector classification under the fund’s concentration policy after the fund is repositioned.
Conclusion. The Board of Trustees has concluded that the proposal will benefit the fund and its shareholders. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the proposal. If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the proposed change will take effect on or about November 13, 2021 or on the first day of the month following shareholder approval if the meeting is adjourned. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders, the existing concentration policy will remain in effect, and the fund will be repositioned effective on or about November 13, 2021 pursuant to the existing concentration policy.
PROPOSAL 2
TO MODIFY CONSUMER FINANCE PORTFOLIO’S FUNDAMENTAL
CONCENTRATION POLICY
The purpose of this proposal is to modify the fundamental industry concentration policy for Consumer Finance Portfolio in order to align it with the repositioning of the fund to fintech. This proposal requests approval of the changes to the fund’s industry concentration policy. The repositioning of the fund does not require shareholder approval.
Consumer Finance Portfolio’s current fundamental industry concentration policy states: “The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the consumer finance industry.”
The 1940 Act requires funds to state a policy regarding concentration of investments in a particular industry, and to make the policy fundamental (changeable only by shareholder vote). The SEC has taken the position that a fund that invests more than 25% of its total assets in a particular industry is concentrating its investments. The fund is seeking shareholder approval to change the concentration policy in order to align the policy with the fund’s new name and investment policies that will take effect on or about October 23, 2021.
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, has approved, and recommends that shareholders of Consumer Finance Portfolio vote to modify this policy to state: “The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer if, as a result, less than 25% of the fund’s total assets would be invested in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the [consumer finance] fintech industry.” (proposed additional language is underlined, deleted language is [bracketed]).
If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the fund’s fundamental concentration policy will change to reflect the fintech industry name. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders, FMR plans to manage the fund under its current concentration policy.
Currently, Consumer Finance Portfolio invests in companies providing consumer finance products and services such as auto loans, mortgages, and student loans.
As approved by the fund’s Board of Trustees, effective on or about October 23, 2021, Consumer Finance Portfolio will be repositioned as a fintech fund, which involves changing the fund name to FinTech Portfolio and changing the fund’s investment policy to “investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies providing products and services in fintech.”
The repositioned fund will continue to offer shareholders exposure to traditional financing but will also include greater exposure to data processing and outsourcing services and application software. Repositioning the fund will benefit existing shareholders by better reflecting how the consumer finance industry has evolved over time, providing exposure to companies involved in the convergence of consumer finance and technology.
The changes to the fund’s name, investment policy, and supplemental benchmark discussed above are not subject to shareholder approval and will take effect on or about October 23, 2021 even if shareholders do not approve the change to the concentration policy.
For more information regarding changes to the fund’s investment policy that will take effect on or about October 23, 2021, please see the fund’s prospectus dated April 29, 2021, as supplemented.
In addition, in connection with the repositioning, Consumer Finance Portfolio’s supplemental benchmark will be changed from the S&P® Consumer Finance Index to the FactSet Financial Technologies Index, which is designed to track the performance of companies engaged in leveraging technology to deliver financial products and services, primarily in the areas of digital payment processing, enterprise data providers, enterprise financial management, insurance/real estate software, and trading solutions. FactSet uses the Revere Business Industry Classification System (RBICS) framework to classify issuers for purposes of the index, which will also be used to classify issuers for purposes of industry or sector classification under the fund’s concentration policy after the fund is repositioned.
Conclusion. The Board of Trustees has concluded that the proposal will benefit the fund and its shareholders. The Trustees recommend voting FOR the proposal. If the proposal is approved by shareholders, the proposed change will take effect on or about October 23, 2021 or on the first day of the month following shareholder approval if the meeting is adjourned. If the proposal is not approved by shareholders, the existing concentration policy will remain in effect, and the fund will be repositioned with the new fund name and investment policies effective on or about October 23, 2021 pursuant to the fund’s existing concentration policy.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Meeting. However, if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, it is the intention that proxies that do not contain specific instructions to the contrary will be voted on such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons therein designated.
SUBMISSION OF CERTAIN SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
The trust does not hold annual shareholder meetings. Shareholders wishing to submit proposals for inclusion in a proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Secretary of the funds, attention ”Fund Shareholder Meetings,” 245 Summer Street, Mailzone V10A, Boston, Massachusetts 02210. Proposals must be received a reasonable time before a fund begins to print and send its proxy materials to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for the meeting. Timely submission of a proposal does not, however, necessarily mean the proposal will be included. With respect to proposals submitted on an untimely basis and presented at a shareholder meeting, persons named as proxy agents will vote in their discretion.

VOTING TRUSTEES AND THEIR NOMINEES
