Portfolio
Note to Shareholders:
Effective January 1, 2006, the fund changed its benchmark index to the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index because this index conforms more closely to the fund's investment strategy. The Constrained index includes all of the bonds in the former benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, but imposes a 2% limit on any individual issuer. In Fidelity's view, the Constrained index represents a better measure of the high-yield market, as this index is more diversified than the unconstrained version and is less likely to be disrupted by rapid market changes.
If you have any questions, please call Fidelity or the insurance company that issued your policy.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
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.

Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class. |

VIP High Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
VIP High Income Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as VIP High Income Portfolio) 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. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares, Service Class 2 shares, Initial Class R shares, Service Class R shares, Service Class 2R shares, and Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The Fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. 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. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredictable. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income 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 each Fund 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. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 19,241,297 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (26,362,931) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (7,121,634) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,249,461,574 | |

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund's net assets and results of operations.
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Initial Class R shares, Service Class R shares, and Service Class 2R shares held less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. 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 which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
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.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The Fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $435,205,081 and $644,989,901, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' and Service Class R's average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.

Service Class 2 | 110,737 | |
Service Class R | 42 | |
Service Class 2R | 106 | |

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class with the exception of Investor Class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .14% of its month end net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 344,454 | |
Service Class | 100,432 | |
Service Class 2 | 32,176 | |
Initial Class R | 30 | |
Service Class R | 30 | |
Service Class 2R | 30 | |
Investor Class | 25,145 | |
| $ 502,297 | |
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Affiliated Central Funds. The Fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
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 affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 50,002,000 | 4.95% | $ 6,880 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates 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 Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounts to $2,206 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $2,873.

7. 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.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 23% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 48% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
VIP High Income Portfolio
On January 19, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve a general research services agreement (the Agreement) between FMR, FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC), Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC) (together, the Investment Advisers) for the fund, effective January 20, 2006, pursuant to which FRAC may provide general research and investment advisory support services to FMRC and FIMM. The Board considered that it has approved previously various sub-advisory agreements for the fund with affiliates of FMR that allow FMR to obtain research, non-discretionary advice, or discretionary portfolio management at no additional expense to the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information and determined that it would be beneficial for the fund to access the research and investment advisory support services supplied by FRAC at no additional expense to the fund.
The Board reached this determination in part because the new arrangement will involve no changes in (i) the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (ii) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (iii) the nature or level of services provided under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management; or (v) the ultimate control or beneficial ownership of FMR, FMRC, or FIMM. The Board also considered that the establishment of the Agreement would not necessitate prior shareholder approval of the Agreement or result in an assignment and termination of the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Because the Board was approving an arrangement with FRAC under which the fund will not bear any additional management fees or expenses and under which the fund's portfolio manager would not change, it did not consider the fund's investment performance, competitiveness of management fee and total expenses, costs of services and profitability, or economies of scale to be significant factors in its decision.
In connection with its future renewal of the fund's management contract and sub-advisory agreements, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's Agreement is fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Agreement should be approved.
Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Fixed-Income Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its June 2006 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued
Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in June 2005, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) voluntarily entering into contractual arrangements with certain brokers pursuant to which Fidelity pays for research products and services separately out of its own resources, rather than bundling with fund commissions; (iii) launching the Fidelity Advantage Class of its five Spartan stock index funds and three Spartan bond index funds, which is a lower-fee class available to shareholders with higher account balances; (iv) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund and reducing the fund's initial investment minimum; and (v) offering shareholders of each of the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class (except Investor Class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class (except Investor Class) measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2005, the cumulative total returns of Service Class 2 and Initial Class of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark"), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Service Class 2 and Initial Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). (Investor Class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee, had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2005.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Initial Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the fourth quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the one-year cumulative total return of Initial Class of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group" and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2005. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Initial Class, Initial Class R, Investor Class, Service Class, and Service Class R ranked below its competitive median for 2005, and the total expenses of each of Service Class 2 and Service Class 2 R ranked above its competitive median for 2005. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information on several topics, including (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology and profitability trends within certain funds; (ii) funds and accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds, including fee arrangements; (iii) the total expenses of certain funds and classes relative to competitors; (iv) fund performance trends; and (v) Fidelity's fee structures.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Note to Shareholders:
Effective January 1, 2006, the fund changed its benchmark index to the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index because this index conforms more closely to the fund's investment strategy. The Constrained index includes all of the bonds in the former benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, but imposes a 2% limit on any individual issuer. In Fidelity's view, the Constrained index represents a better measure of the high-yield market, as this index is more diversified than the unconstrained version and is less likely to be disrupted by rapid market changes.
If you have any questions, please call Fidelity or the insurance company that issued your policy.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
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.

VIP High Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
VIP High Income Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as VIP High Income Portfolio) 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. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares, Service Class 2 shares, Initial Class R shares, Service Class R shares, Service Class 2R shares, and Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The Fund may invest in affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. 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. Investments are valued and net asset value per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency of when fair value pricing is used is unpredictable. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income 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 each Fund 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. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
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 market discount, partnerships, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 19,241,297 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (26,362,931) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ (7,121,634) | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,249,461,574 | |

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund's net assets and results of operations.
Trading (Redemption) Fees. Initial Class R shares, Service Class R shares, and Service Class 2R shares held less than 60 days are subject to a redemption fee equal to 1% of the proceeds of the redeemed shares. All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by FMR, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. 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 which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
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.
Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments. The Fund may invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities that obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. The Fund may be contractually obligated to receive approval from the agent bank and/or borrower prior to the sale of these investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $435,205,081 and $644,989,901, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' and Service Class R's average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.

Service Class 2 | 110,737 | |
Service Class R | 42 | |
Service Class 2R | 106 | |
| $ 262,528 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class with the exception of Investor Class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .14% of its month end net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 344,454 | |
Service Class | 100,432 | |
Service Class 2 | 32,176 | |
Initial Class R | 30 | |
Service Class R | 30 | |
Service Class 2R | 30 | |
Investor Class | 25,145 | |
| $ 502,297 | |
Accounting Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month.
Affiliated Central Funds. The Fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The Money Market Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
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 affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 50,002,000 | 4.95% | $ 6,880 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates 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 Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounts to $2,206 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $2,873.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued
7. 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.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 23% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 48% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
VIP High Income Portfolio
On January 19, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve a general research services agreement (the Agreement) between FMR, FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC), Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC) (together, the Investment Advisers) for the fund, effective January 20, 2006, pursuant to which FRAC may provide general research and investment advisory support services to FMRC and FIMM. The Board considered that it has approved previously various sub-advisory agreements for the fund with affiliates of FMR that allow FMR to obtain research, non-discretionary advice, or discretionary portfolio management at no additional expense to the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information and determined that it would be beneficial for the fund to access the research and investment advisory support services supplied by FRAC at no additional expense to the fund.
The Board reached this determination in part because the new arrangement will involve no changes in (i) the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (ii) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (iii) the nature or level of services provided under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management; or (v) the ultimate control or beneficial ownership of FMR, FMRC, or FIMM. The Board also considered that the establishment of the Agreement would not necessitate prior shareholder approval of the Agreement or result in an assignment and termination of the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Because the Board was approving an arrangement with FRAC under which the fund will not bear any additional management fees or expenses and under which the fund's portfolio manager would not change, it did not consider the fund's investment performance, competitiveness of management fee and total expenses, costs of services and profitability, or economies of scale to be significant factors in its decision.
In connection with its future renewal of the fund's management contract and sub-advisory agreements, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's Agreement is fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Agreement should be approved.
Each year, typically in June, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract and sub-advisory agreements (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information throughout the year.
The Board meets regularly each month except August and takes into account throughout the year matters bearing on Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its separate committees, considers at each of its meetings factors that are relevant to the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. At the time of the renewal, the Board had 12 standing committees, each composed of Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. Each committee has adopted a written charter outlining the structure and purposes of the committee. One such committee, the Fixed-Income Contract Committee, meets periodically as needed throughout the year to consider matters specifically related to the annual renewal of Advisory Contracts. The committee requests and receives information on, and makes recommendations to the Independent Trustees concerning, the approval and annual review of the Advisory Contracts.
At its June 2006 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses of the fund; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by the investment adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.
In determining whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board ultimately reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts and the compensation to be received by Fidelity under the management contract is consistent with Fidelity's fiduciary duty under applicable law. In addition to evaluating the specific factors noted above, the Board, in reaching its determination, is aware that shareholders in the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among mutual funds offered by competitors to Fidelity, and that the fund's shareholders, with the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, managed by Fidelity.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered staffing within the investment adviser, FMR, and the sub-advisers (together, the Investment Advisers), including the background of the fund's portfolio manager and the fund's investment objective and discipline. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives.
Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the size, education, and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training, and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory, and management personnel. The Board considered Fidelity's extensive global research capabilities that enable the Investment Advisers to aggregate data from various sources in an effort to produce positive investment results. The Board noted that Fidelity's analysts have access to a variety of technological tools that enable them to perform both fundamental and quantitative analysis and to specialize in various disciplines. The Board also considered that Fidelity's portfolio managers and analysts have access to daily portfolio attribution that allows for monitoring of a fund's portfolio, as well as an electronic communication system that provides immediate real-time access to research concerning issuers and credit enhancers.
Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of administrative, distribution, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services. The Board also considered that Fidelity voluntarily pays for market data out of its own resources.
The Board noted that the growth of fund assets across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through phone representatives and over the Internet, and investor education materials and asset allocation tools.
Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that, since the last Advisory Contract renewals in June 2005, Fidelity has taken a number of actions that benefited particular funds, including (i) dedicating additional resources to investment research and to restructure the investment research teams; (ii) voluntarily entering into contractual arrangements with certain brokers pursuant to which Fidelity pays for research products and services separately out of its own resources, rather than bundling with fund commissions; (iii) launching the Fidelity Advantage Class of its five Spartan stock index funds and three Spartan bond index funds, which is a lower-fee class available to shareholders with higher account balances; (iv) contractually agreeing to impose expense limitations on Fidelity U.S. Bond Index Fund and reducing the fund's initial investment minimum; and (v) offering shareholders of each of the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds the privilege of exchanging shares of the fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.
Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated within its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed the fund's absolute investment performance for each class (except Investor Class), as well as the fund's relative investment performance for each class (except Investor Class) measured against (i) a broad-based securities market index, and (ii) a peer group of mutual funds deemed appropriate by the Board over multiple periods. The following charts considered by the Board show, over the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended December 31, 2005, the cumulative total returns of Service Class 2 and Initial Class of the fund, the cumulative total returns of a broad-based securities market index ("benchmark"), and a range of cumulative total returns of a peer group of mutual funds identified by Lipper Inc. as having an investment objective similar to that of the fund. The returns of Service Class 2 and Initial Class represent the performance of classes with the highest and lowest 12b-1 fees, respectively (not necessarily with the highest and lowest total expenses). (Investor Class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee, had less than one year of performance as of December 31, 2005.) The box within each chart shows the 25th percentile return (bottom of box) and the 75th percentile return (top of box) of the Lipper peer group. Returns shown above the box are in the first quartile and returns shown below the box are in the fourth quartile. The percentage beaten numbers noted below each chart correspond to the percentile box and represent the percentage of funds in the Lipper peer group whose performance was equal to or lower than that of the class indicated.

The Board reviewed the fund's relative investment performance against its Lipper peer group and stated that the performance of Initial Class of the fund was in the second quartile for the one- and three-year periods and the fourth quartile for the five-year period. The Board also stated that the relative investment performance of the fund was lower than its benchmark for the three- and five-year periods, although the one-year cumulative total return of Initial Class of the fund compared favorably to its benchmark. The Board considered that the variations in performance among the fund's classes reflect the variations in class expenses, which result in lower performance for higher expense classes.
Based on its review, and giving particular weight to the nature and quality of the resources dedicated by the Investment Advisers to maintain and improve relative performance, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the fund will benefit the fund's shareholders, particularly in light of the Board's view that the fund's shareholders benefit from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and services.
Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Fund Expenses. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expenses compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable management fee characteristics. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and by reducing the number of universes to which various Fidelity funds are compared.
The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group" and, for the reasons explained above, is broader than the Lipper peer group used by the Board for performance comparisons. The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to the total universe of comparable funds available to investors, in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps. "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than the fund's. For example, a TMG % of 21% means that 79% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher management fees than the fund. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to non-Fidelity funds similar in size to the fund within the Total Mapped Group. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee characteristics, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which the fund's management fee ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for 2005. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.
In its review of each class's total expenses, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted the effects of any waivers and reimbursements on fees and expenses. As part of its review, the Board also considered current and historical total expenses of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.
The Board noted that the total expenses of each of Initial Class, Initial Class R, Investor Class, Service Class, and Service Class R ranked below its competitive median for 2005, and the total expenses of each of Service Class 2 and Service Class 2 R ranked above its competitive median for 2005. The Board noted that the fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expenses of the classes vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.
In its review of total expenses, the Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information on clients that FMR and its affiliates service in other competitive markets, such as other mutual funds advised or subadvised by FMR or its affiliates, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.
Based on its review, the Board concluded that the total expenses of each class of the fund were reasonable, although in some cases above the median of the universe presented for comparison, in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.
Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and its shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.
On an annual basis, FMR presents to the Board Fidelity's profitability for the fund. Fidelity calculates the profitability for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the audited books and records of Fidelity. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the results of Fidelity's profitability analysis. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures surrounding the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board believes that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board has also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and any fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the fund's business.
The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and determined that the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of the fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense reductions.
The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management increase, and for higher fee rates as total fund assets under FMR's management decrease. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total fund assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will achieve a certain level of economies of scale as assets under FMR's management increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.
The Board further concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity in an appropriate manner.
Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Advisory Contracts, the Board requested additional information on several topics, including (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology and profitability trends within certain funds; (ii) funds and accounts managed by Fidelity other than the Fidelity funds, including fee arrangements; (iii) the total expenses of certain funds and classes relative to competitors; (iv) fund performance trends; and (v) Fidelity's fee structures.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.
