Annual Report
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income Portfolio
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity ® VIP: Equity-Income - Initial Class | 11.53% | 4.46% | 11.31% |
Fidelity VIP: Equity-Income - Service Class A | 11.38% | 4.35% | 11.23% |
Fidelity VIP: Equity-Income - Service Class 2 B | 11.23% | 4.19% | 11.15% |
A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.
B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2 shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Stephen Petersen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income Portfolio
The year ending December 31, 2004, generally was positive for equity investors, as many stock market benchmarks produced double-digit gains. Broad-based themes included the continued dominance of small-cap stocks, which outperformed large-caps for the sixth consecutive year. The small-cap Russell 2000® Index was up 18.33% in 2004, while the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index rose 10.88%. Value stocks ended the year well ahead of growth stocks: The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 16.94%, compared to 6.93% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy and basic materials stocks led the market upward. Energy stocks were boosted by record-high oil prices, while strong demand from China helped support commodity prices. The health care sector was among the market's weakest performers. Technology also fell off the pace, though it was helped by a rally late in the year. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.15%, thanks primarily to a 14.87% jump in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM gained 5.37% for the year.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2004, the fund underperformed the LipperSM Variable Annuity Equity Income Objective Funds Average, which rose 13.51%, and the Russell 3000 Value Index. Mid- and small-cap stocks continued to outperform large-caps, which - along with out-of-favor stocks - are the fund's primary focus. As a result, it did not keep pace with the Russell index, which includes stocks of all market capitalizations. The fund's performance relative to the index also was hurt by its underweighting in financial stocks. Fund holdings Pfizer and Merck were hurt by competitive pressures from generic drug makers and company-specific issues: Merck was ordered to pull its arthritis drug, Vioxx, off the shelves, causing the stock price to plummet; Pfizer, which makes arthritis drug Celebrex, took a hit over concerns about the potential for similar problems with its own product. Conversely, energy holdings Exxon Mobil and Total SA did well as crude oil prices remained high, demand grew and excess supply evaporated.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

Equity-Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Equity-Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains 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. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 3,162,571,582 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (487,146,159) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 2,675,425,423 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 222,671,664 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 346,486,395 | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 8,626,903,027 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 160,632,605 | $ 152,426,442 |
Long-term Capital Gains | 38,902,738 | - |
Total | $ 199,535,343 | $ 152,426,442 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. 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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,315,881,327 and $2,277,968,277, respectively.
Equity-Income Portfolio
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 .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .47% 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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 1,100,510 | |
Service Class 2 | 2,850,571 | |
Service Class 2R | 9,466 | |
| $ 3,960,547 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 5,527,852 | |
Service Class | 728,268 | |
Service Class 2 | 782,156 | |

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $714,712 for the period.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $9,721,350. The weighted average interest rate was 1.81%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $873,945 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $612.
9. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 37% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund and the Shareholders of Equity-Income Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Equity-Income Portfolio (a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund) at December 31, 2004 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Equity-Income Portfolio's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Equity-Income Portfolio
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income Portfolio - Service Class 2R
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® VIP: Equity Income - Service Class 2R A | 11.22% | 4.18% | 11.14% |
A The initial offering of Service Class 2R shares took place on April 24, 2002. Performance for Service Class 2R shares reflects an asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from January 12, 2000 to April 24, 2002 are those of Service Class 2. Service Class 2R returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflects a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2R returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2R shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Stephen Petersen, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income Portfolio
The year ending December 31, 2004, generally was positive for equity investors, as many stock market benchmarks produced double-digit gains. Broad-based themes included the continued dominance of small-cap stocks, which outperformed large-caps for the sixth consecutive year. The small-cap Russell 2000® Index was up 18.33% in 2004, while the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index rose 10.88%. Value stocks ended the year well ahead of growth stocks: The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 16.94%, compared to 6.93% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy and basic materials stocks led the market upward. Energy stocks were boosted by record-high oil prices, while strong demand from China helped support commodity prices. The health care sector was among the market's weakest performers. Technology also fell off the pace, though it was helped by a rally late in the year. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.15%, thanks primarily to a 14.87% jump in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM gained 5.37% for the year.
For the 12-month period ending December 31, 2004, the fund underperformed the LipperSM Variable Annuity Equity Income Objective Funds Average, which rose 13.51%, and the Russell 3000 Value Index. Mid- and small-cap stocks continued to outperform large-caps, which - along with out-of-favor stocks - are the fund's primary focus. As a result, it did not keep pace with the Russell index, which includes stocks of all market capitalizations. The fund's performance relative to the index also was hurt by its underweighting in financial stocks. Fund holdings Pfizer and Merck were hurt by competitive pressures from generic drug makers and company-specific issues: Merck was ordered to pull its arthritis drug, Vioxx, off the shelves, causing the stock price to plummet; Pfizer, which makes arthritis drug Celebrex, took a hit over concerns about the potential for similar problems with its own product. Conversely, energy holdings Exxon Mobil and Total SA did well as crude oil prices remained high, demand grew and excess supply evaporated.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

Equity-Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Equity-Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains 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. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 3,162,571,582 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (487,146,159) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 2,675,425,423 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 222,671,664 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | 346,486,395 | |

All redemption fees, including any estimated redemption fees paid by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), are retained by the fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,315,881,327 and $2,277,968,277, 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 .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .47% 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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 1,100,510 | |

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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $714,712 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $127,479 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 8,867,217 | 1.63% | - | $ 9,256 |
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $9,721,350. The weighted average interest rate was 1.81%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
8. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $873,945 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $612.
9. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 37% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity ® VIP: Growth - Initial Class | 3.38% | -6.79% | 9.97% |
Fidelity VIP: Growth - Service Class A | 3.26% | -6.88% | 9.89% |
Fidelity VIP: Growth - Service Class 2 B | 3.12% | -7.02% | 9.81% |
A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class shares 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.
B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 through January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jennifer Uhrig, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio
The year ending December 31, 2004, generally was positive for equity investors, as many stock market benchmarks produced double-digit gains. Broad-based themes included the continued dominance of small-cap stocks, which outperformed large-caps for the sixth consecutive year. The small-cap Russell 2000® Index was up 18.33% in 2004, while the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index rose 10.88%. Value stocks ended the year well ahead of growth stocks: The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 16.94%, compared to 6.93% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy and basic materials stocks led the market upward. Energy stocks were boosted by record-high oil prices, while strong demand from China helped support commodity prices. The health care sector was among the market's weakest performers. Technology also fell off the pace, though it was helped by a rally late in the year. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.15%, thanks primarily to a 14.87% jump in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM gained 5.37% for the year.
For the 12 months that ended December 31, 2004, the fund lagged both the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth Funds Average, which gained 10.36%, and the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The fund's large overweighting compared with the index in the semiconductor industry accounted for most of the drag on performance. Capacity outgrew demand for semiconductors during the period, which compressed the earnings and stock prices of many companies within the group. Among those hardest hit were fund holdings ASML Holding, Agere Systems, Teradyne and Intersil, as well as the fund's biggest detractor, Synopsys, which makes software for designing chips. Performance also was hurt by the fund's focus on large-cap growth companies at a time when smaller-cap, value-oriented stocks were generally performing better. On the positive side, wireless communications stocks, such as Ericsson and QUALCOMM, and energy services companies, such as Halliburton, helped boost relative performance. The fund no longer holds Ericsson stock.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends to net investment income per share is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,326,119,909 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (227,367,706) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 2,098,752,203 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 42,590,026 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (3,653,617,452) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 7,836,788,157 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 25,185,765 | $ 23,104,405 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. 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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $7,269,389,954 and $8,239,247,322, 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 .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 1,356,900 | |
Service Class 2 | 1,781,135 | |
Service Class 2R | 5,349 | |
| $ 3,143,384 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 5,336,742 | |
Service Class | 899,118 | |
Service Class 2 | 486,224 | |
Service Class 2R | 1,447 | |
| $ 6,723,531 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $825,101 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $609,973 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 21,552,298 | 1.39% | - | $ 39,066 |
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any

additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $3,292,493 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1,393.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 35% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio - Service Class 2R
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns

Fidelity® VIP: Growth - Service Class 2RA | 3.10% | -7.04% | 9.80% |
A The initial offering of Service Class 2R shares took place on April 24, 2002. Performance for Service Class 2R shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from January 12, 2000 to April 24, 2002 are those of Service Class 2. Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class, which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2R returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2R's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Jennifer Uhrig, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio
The year ending December 31, 2004, generally was positive for equity investors, as many stock market benchmarks produced double-digit gains. Broad-based themes included the continued dominance of small-cap stocks, which outperformed large-caps for the sixth consecutive year. The small-cap Russell 2000® Index was up 18.33% in 2004, while the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index rose 10.88%. Value stocks ended the year well ahead of growth stocks: The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 16.94%, compared to 6.93% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy and basic materials stocks led the market upward. Energy stocks were boosted by record-high oil prices, while strong demand from China helped support commodity prices. The health care sector was among the market's weakest performers. Technology also fell off the pace, though it was helped by a rally late in the year. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.15%, thanks primarily to a 14.87% jump in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM gained 5.37% for the year.
For the 12 months that ended December 31, 2004, the fund lagged both the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth Funds Average, which gained 10.36%, and the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The fund's large overweighting compared with the index in the semiconductor industry accounted for most of the drag on performance. Capacity outgrew demand for semiconductors during the period, which compressed the earnings and stock prices of many companies within the group. Among those hardest hit were fund holdings ASML Holding, Agere Systems, Teradyne and Intersil, as well as the fund's biggest detractor, Synopsys, which makes software for designing chips. Performance also was hurt by the fund's focus on large-cap growth companies at a time when smaller-cap, value-oriented stocks were generally performing better. On the positive side, wireless communications stocks, such as Ericsson and QUALCOMM, and energy services companies, such as Halliburton, helped boost relative performance. The fund no longer holds Ericsson stock.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

D Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
E Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
F Investment income per share reflects a special dividend which amounted to $.08 per share.
G For the period April 24, 2002 (commencement of sale of shares) to December 31, 2002.
H Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expense ratios before reductions for start-up periods may not be representative of longer-term operating periods. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.
I Amount represents less than $.01 per share.
J As a result in the change in the estimate of the return of capital component of divided income realized in the year ended December 31, 2003, net investment income per share and the ratio of net investment income to average net assets for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been reduced by $.01 per share and .02%, respectively. The change in estimate has no impact on total net assets or total return of the fund.
See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.

1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends to net investment income per share is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 2,326,119,909 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (227,367,706) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 2,098,752,203 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 42,590,026 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (3,653,617,452) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 7,836,788,157 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 25,185,765 | $ 23,104,405 |
Trading (Redemption) Fees. 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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $7,269,389,954 and $8,239,247,322, 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 .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .58% of the fund's average net assets.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's and Service Class 2R's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 1,356,900 | |
Service Class 2 | 1,781,135 | |
Service Class 2R | 5,349 | |
| $ 3,143,384 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 5,336,742 | |
Service Class | 899,118 | |
Service Class 2 | 486,224 | |
Service Class 2R | 1,447 | |
| $ 6,723,531 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $825,101 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $609,973 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 21,552,298 | 1.39% | - | $ 39,066 |
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any

6. Security Lending - continued
additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $3,292,493 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1,393.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 11% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 35% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity VIP: High Income - Initial Class R A | 9.59% | -0.27% | 5.17% |
Fidelity VIP: High Income - Service Class R B | 9.47% | -0.38% | 5.08% |
Fidelity VIP: High Income - Service Class 2R C | 9.38% | -0.55% | 4.99% |
A The initial offering of Initial Class R shares took place on April 14, 2004. Returns prior to April 14, 2004 are those of Initial Class.
B The initial offering of Service Class R shares took place on April 14, 2004. Performance for Service Class R shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to April 14, 2004 are those of Service Class. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class R's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.
C The initial offering of Service Class 2R shares took place on April 14, 2004. Performance for Service Class 2R shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from January 12, 2000 to April 14, 2004 are those of Service Class 2. Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2R returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2R's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: High Income Portfolio
Investors in high-yield securities generally found positive returns in 2004, as the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index advanced 10.87% for the year overall. This performance marks the first time the high-yield bond market has posted two consecutive years of double-digit increases since 1996-1997. The strong demand for the attractive yields of high-income securities, plus ready access to capital and a declining default rate, helped drive returns in this non-investment-grade asset class. As corporate America continued to improve its cash flows and deleverage its balance sheets, the stronger credit profiles for companies borrowing in the high-yield market served to make investors less risk averse, particularly in the more speculative credit tiers such as CCC-rated securities, which returned 15.75% during the past year. In comparison, the BB-rated and B-rated sectors rose 9.33% and 10.44%, respectively. As was the case in the equity markets, energy, metals/mining and other commodity industries were among the leaders in the high-yield universe.
During the 12 months that ended December 31, 2004, High Income Portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, and performed roughly in line with the LipperSM Variable Annuity High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 9.84%. The fund underperformed the index because of its avoidance of the lowest-rated bonds and distressed securities, which performed best during the period. An overweighting in the telecommunications industry also held back performance. On the plus side, strong security selection in cable TV, health care, chemicals and utilities helped the fund's relative performance. Top performers included Huntsman Chemicals, electric utilities AES and Cogentrix, and Delta Airlines. Among the investments that detracted from the fund's performance were semiconductor testing and packaging company Amkor Technology, telecom service provider Cincinnati Bell, theme park company Six Flags and television station operator Granite Broadcasting.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

A Total returns do not reflect charges attributable to your insurance company's separate account. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total returns shown.
B Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.
C Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.
D Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the class during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the class.
E Effective January 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.
F As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change for the years ended December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was a decrease to net investment income of $.017 and $.075 per share with a corresponding increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share, respectively. The ratio of net investment income to average net assets decreased from 8.95% and 12.08% to 8.65% and 11.00%, respectively. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.

For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
High Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund, (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
High Income Portfolio
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. 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 tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 106,238,193 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (8,602,341) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 97,635,852 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 132,732,705 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (1,144,183,642) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,741,532,055 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 155,517,698 | $ 110,937,981 |
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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. 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 and U.S. government securities, aggregated $2,223,362,294 and $2,482,350,638, respectively.
Annual Report
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 .13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .58% 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.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 359,321 | |
Service Class 2 | 182,704 | |
Service Class R | 55 | |
Service Class 2R | 138 | |
| $ 542,218 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 933,207 | |
Service Class | 240,550 | |
Service Class 2 | 56,012 | |
Initial Class R | 36 | |
Service Class R | 36 | |
Service Class 2R | 36 | |
| $ 1,229,877 | |
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.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $678,234 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1 for the period.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 16,577,688 | 1.18% | - | $ 8,699 |
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
High Income Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
6. Bank Borrowings.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. The average daily loan balance during the period amounted to $6,280,667. The weighted average interest rate was 1.62%. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $3,244 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $729.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 20% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 49% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

High Income Portfolio
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: High Income Portfolio
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® VIP: High Income - Initial Class | 9.59% | -0.27% | 5.17% |
Fidelity VIP: High Income - Service ClassA | 9.47% | -0.38% | 5.08% |
Fidelity VIP: High Income - Service Class 2B | 9.38% | -0.55% | 4.99% |
A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.
B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Matthew Conti, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: High Income Portfolio
Investors in high-yield securities generally found positive returns in 2004, as the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Index advanced 10.87% for the year overall. This performance marks the first time the high-yield bond market has posted two consecutive years of double-digit increases since 1996-1997. The strong demand for the attractive yields of high-income securities, plus ready access to capital and a declining default rate, helped drive returns in this non-investment-grade asset class. As corporate America continued to improve its cash flows and deleverage its balance sheets, the stronger credit profiles for companies borrowing in the high-yield market served to make investors less risk averse, particularly in the more speculative credit tiers such as CCC-rated securities, which returned 15.75% during the past year. In comparison, the BB-rated and B-rated sectors rose 9.33% and 10.44%, respectively. As was the case in the equity markets, energy, metals/mining and other commodity industries were among the leaders in the high-yield universe.
During the 12 months that ended December 31, 2004, High Income Portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, and performed roughly in line with the LipperSM Variable Annuity High Current Yield Funds Average, which returned 9.84%. The fund underperformed the index because of its avoidance of the lowest-rated bonds and distressed securities, which performed best during the period. An overweighting in the telecommunications industry also held back performance. On the plus side, strong security selection in cable TV, health care, chemicals and utilities helped the fund's relative performance. Top performers included Huntsman Chemicals, electric utilities AES and Cogentrix, and Delta Airlines. Among the investments that detracted from the fund's performance were semiconductor testing and packaging company Amkor Technology, telecom service provider Cincinnati Bell, theme park company Six Flags and television station operator Granite Broadcasting.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
High Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund, (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: 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 and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Debt securities, including restricted securities, for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
High Income Portfolio
1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. 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 tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 106,238,193 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (8,602,341) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 97,635,852 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 132,732,705 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (1,144,183,642) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,741,532,055 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 155,517,698 | $ 110,937,981 |
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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. 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.

Money Market Portfolio
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Money Market Portfolio
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity VIP: Money Market - Initial Class | 1.21% | 2.86% | 4.16% |
Fidelity VIP: Money Market - Service Class A | 1.10% | 2.77% | 4.12% |
Fidelity VIP: Money Market - Service Class 2 B | 0.95% | 2.62% | 4.04% |
A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on July 7, 2000. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to July 7, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to July 7, 2000 would have been lower.
B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to January 12, 2000 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
Yield

Fidelity VIP Money Market - Initial Class | 1.91% | 1.47% | 1.03% | 0.92% | 0.99% |

Yield refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.
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. 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.
| Beginning Account Value July 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value December 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 |
Initial Class | | | |
Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,007.40 | $ 1.46 |
HypotheticalA | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,023.68 | $ 1.48 |

Actual | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,006.80 | $ 2.02 |
HypotheticalA | $ 1,000.00 | $ 1,023.13 | $ 2.03 |

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).

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 and Service Class 2 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income 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. There were no significant book-to-tax differences during the period.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations, corporate obligations and mortgage loan obligations which may be below investment-grade quality, and equity securities. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
Restricted Securities. The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a total income-based component. The group fee rate averaged ..13% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. The total income-based component is calculated according to a graduated schedule providing for different rates based on the fund's gross annualized yield. The rate increases as the fund's gross yield increases.

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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 22,272 | |
Service Class 2 | 21,600 | |
| $ 43,872 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 1,087,334 | |
Service Class | 15,939 | |
Service Class 2 | 6,150 | |
| $ 1,109,423 | |
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.
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. At period end there were no interfund loans outstanding. The fund's activity in this program during the period was as follows:
| Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Earned (included in interest income) | Interest Expense |
VIP: Money Market | Lender | $ 8,038,737 | 1.25% | $ 5,311 | - |
4. 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 $504.
5. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 62% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 14% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.
Average Annual Total Returns
Periods ended December 31, 2004 | Past 1 year | Past 5 years | Past 10 years |
Fidelity® VIP: Overseas - Initial Class | 13.57% | -3.71% | 6.31% |
Fidelity VIP: Overseas - Service Class A | 13.49% | -3.80% | 6.24% |
Fidelity VIP: Overseas - Service Class 2 B | 13.31% | -3.89% | 6.19% |
A The initial offering of Service Class shares took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares reflects an asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997 would have been lower.
B The initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflects an asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Service Class 2 returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class, and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2 shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio - Initial Class on December 31, 1994. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the MSCI® EAFE Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Rick Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio
Most of the world's major stock markets posted solid gains for the year ending December 31, 2004. The Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 20.42%, compared to 10.88% for the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. A weak U.S. dollar relative to most foreign currencies was partly responsible for the performance disparity. On a regional basis, Europe was one of the top performers. Many investors felt European stocks offered better valuations and brighter earnings prospects than U.S. equities. Latin American countries, many of which are exporters of oil and raw materials that received strong support from high commodity prices, also did well. Conversely, Japan underperformed, as early optimism was eroded by disappointing economic indicators and concerns about the impact of China's economic slowdown on exports. Meanwhile, some Asian emerging markets, such as Taiwan and Indonesia, suffered from a deceleration in corporate capital spending.
For the one-year period ending December 31, 2004, the return of Overseas Portfolio trailed the advances of both the MSCI EAFE index and the
LipperSM Variable Annuity International Funds Average, the latter of which rose 18.20%. The fund's overweighting in two poor-performing market groups - semiconductors and diversified financials - caused the bulk of its performance shortfall relative to the index. Notable detractors included semiconductor equipment manufacturers Tokyo Electron, Netherlands-based ASML Holding and Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics, as well as Japanese brokerage stocks Nikko Cordial and Nomura Holdings. The semiconductor industry was the worst-performing component of the index during the past 12 months. On the positive side of the ledger, overweighting strong-performing energy stocks relative to the index was helpful. France-based energy producer Total SA and Canada's Talisman Energy were noteworthy standouts for the fund. Elsewhere, overweighting a couple of strong-performing stocks in the telecommunication services sector helped offset some of the fund's weakness in other areas. Specifically, holdings in U.K.-based mobile communications provider mmO2 and Germany-based Deutsche Telekom performed quite well.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 have been higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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 have been 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.

Overseas Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Overseas Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas 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, and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
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 foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 559,624,822 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (33,873,385) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 525,751,437 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 26,476,944 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (472,629,652) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,880,129,646 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 22,557,627 | $ 11,225,102 |
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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,798,890,461 and $1,655,883,993, 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 .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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.
Overseas Portfolio
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Distribution and Service Plan - continued
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 278,008 | |
Service Class 2 | 544,008 | |
Service Class R | 71,362 | |
Service Class 2R | 37,151 | |
| $ 930,529 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 972,332 | |
Service Class | 192,952 | |
Service Class 2 | 157,275 | |
Initial Class R | 51,463 | |
Service Class R | 47,651 | |
Service Class 2R | 10,338 | |
| $ 1,432,011 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,457,235 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $4,767 for the period.
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements - continued
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $912,968 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1,208.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 14% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 39% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of a class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would be lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

B The initial offering of Service Class R shares took place on April 24, 2002. Performance for Service Class R shares reflects an asset-based service fee (12b-1 fee). Returns from November 3, 1997 to April 24, 2002 are those of Service Class. Returns prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not include the effects of a 12b-1 fee.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Rick Mace, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio
Most of the world's major stock markets posted solid gains for the year ending December 31, 2004. The Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index - designed to represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the United States and Canada - gained 20.42%, compared to 10.88% for the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index. A weak U.S. dollar relative to most foreign currencies was partly responsible for the performance disparity. On a regional basis, Europe was one of the top performers. Many investors felt European stocks offered better valuations and brighter earnings prospects than U.S. equities. Latin American countries, many of which are exporters of oil and raw materials that received strong support from high commodity prices, also did well. Conversely, Japan underperformed, as early optimism was eroded by disappointing economic indicators and concerns about the impact of China's economic slowdown on exports. Meanwhile, some Asian emerging markets, such as Taiwan and Indonesia, suffered from a deceleration in corporate capital spending.
For the one-year period ending December 31, 2004, the return of Overseas Portfolio trailed the advances of both the MSCI EAFE index and the
LipperSM Variable Annuity International Funds Average, the latter of which rose 18.20%. The fund's overweighting in two poor-performing market groups - semiconductors and diversified financials - caused the bulk of its performance shortfall relative to the index. Notable detractors included semiconductor equipment manufacturers Tokyo Electron, Netherlands-based ASML Holding and Taiwanese chip maker United Microelectronics, as well as Japanese brokerage stocks Nikko Cordial and Nomura Holdings. The semiconductor industry was the worst-performing component of the index during the past 12 months. On the positive side of the ledger, overweighting strong-performing energy stocks relative to the index was helpful. France-based energy producer Total SA and Canada's Talisman Energy were noteworthy standouts for the fund. Elsewhere, overweighting a couple of strong-performing stocks in the telecommunication services sector helped offset some of the fund's weakness in other areas. Specifically, holdings in U.K.-based mobile communications provider mmO2 and Germany-based Deutsche Telekom performed quite well.

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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 have been higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below 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 have been 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.

Overseas Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Overseas Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas 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, and Service Class 2R 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
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 foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 559,624,822 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (33,873,385) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 525,751,437 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 26,476,944 | |
Capital loss carryforward | (472,629,652) | |
| | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 1,880,129,646 | |
The tax character of distributions paid was as follows:
| December 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
Ordinary Income | $ 22,557,627 | $ 11,225,102 |
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 Fidelity Management & Research Company (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. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $1,798,890,461 and $1,655,883,993, 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 .28% 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 annual management fee rate was .72% 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 | 544,008 | |
Service Class R | 71,362 | |
Service Class 2R | 37,151 | |
| $ 930,529 | |
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 account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 972,332 | |
Service Class | 192,952 | |
Service Class 2 | 157,275 | |
Initial Class R | 51,463 | |
Service Class R | 47,651 | |
Service Class 2R | 10,338 | |
| $ 1,432,011 | |
Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,457,235 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $4,767 for the period.
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $912,968 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $1,208.
8. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 14% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 39% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

Annual Report
Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value Portfolio
Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. Performance numbers are net of all underlying fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance information included the effect of these additional charges, the total returns would have been lower. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Steve DuFour, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products: Value Portfolio
The year ending December 31, 2004, generally was positive for equity investors, as many stock market benchmarks produced double-digit gains. Broad-based themes included the continued dominance of small-cap stocks, which outperformed large-caps for the sixth consecutive year. The small-cap Russell 2000® Index was up 18.33% in 2004, while the larger-cap Standard & Poor's 500SM Index rose 10.88%. Value stocks ended the year well ahead of growth stocks: The Russell 3000® Value Index advanced 16.94%, compared to 6.93% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Energy and basic materials stocks led the market upward. Energy stocks were boosted by record-high oil prices, while strong demand from China helped support commodity prices. The health care sector was among the market's weakest performers. Technology also fell off the pace, though it was helped by a rally late in the year. The tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite® Index returned 9.15%, thanks primarily to a 14.87% jump in the fourth quarter. Elsewhere, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM gained 5.37% for the year.
For the one-year period ending December 31, 2004, Value Portfolio underperformed the 16.94% return of the Russell 3000 Value Index, but surpassed the 10.36% advance of the LipperSM Variable Annuity Growth Funds Average. The fund's emphasis on large-capitalization stocks caused some of its underperformance relative to the Russell index. Mid- and small-caps, which made up a greater percentage of the index than the fund, generally outperformed larger-cap issues during the period. Underweighting banking, utilities and real estate - three of the better-performing groups in the index - also hurt the fund's relative results. Among the fund's biggest individual detractors were brokerage firms Charles Schwab and Morgan Stanley, as well as Internet company IAC/InterActiveCorp, all three of which declined. On the positive side of the ledger, good stock selection and maintaining a higher exposure to the strong-performing energy sector boosted the fund's return relative to its index. Natural gas producer Burlington Resources was among the fund's top-performing holdings in this sector. Other positions that made strong contributions to the fund's performance were railroad operator Norfolk Southern and Eastman Chemical, a provider of raw materials for industrial uses.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, 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 (July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below 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 table below 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.
| Beginning Account Value July 1, 2004 | Ending Account Value December 31, 2004 | Expenses Paid During Period* July 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 |

A 5% return per year before expenses
* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio (shown in the table below); multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
| Annualized Expense Ratio |
Initial Class | 1.00%** |
Service Class | 1.10%** |
Service Class 2 | 1.25%** |
** If changes to voluntary expense limitations effective February 1, 2005 had been in effect during the period, the annualized expense ratio and the expenses paid in the actual and hypothetical examples above would have been as follows:
| Annualized Expense Ratio | Expenses Paid |
Initial Class | .85% | |
Actual | | $ 4.51 |
HypotheticalA | | $ 4.32 |
Service Class | .95% | |
Actual | | $ 5.03 |

Value Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended December 31, 2004
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
Value Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Value 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 and Service Class 2 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 distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security Valuation. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.
Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the fund are presented separately on the Statement of Operations as "Special Dividends" and the impact of these dividends to net investment income per share is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the funds in the trust.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 740,106 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (21,873) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | 718,233 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | 1,095 | |

Ordinary Income | $ 49,290 | $ 13,029 |
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $7,706,988 and $7,032,567, 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 .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% 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 annual 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' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 1,069 | |
Service Class 2 | 7,749 | |
| $ 8,818 | |
Value Portfolio
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. Each class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. For the period, the total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 401 | |
Service Class | 968 | |
Service Class 2 | 3,691 | |
| $ 5,060 | |
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.
Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $1,422 for the period.
Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $528 for the period.
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. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse each class to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement. Effective February 1, 2005 the expense limitations will be changed to .85%, .95%, and 1.10% for Initial, Service Class, and Service Class 2, respectively.
| Expense Limitations | Reimbursement from adviser |
| | |
Initial Class | 1.00% | $ 7,307 |
Service Class | 1.10% | 17,747 |
Service Class 2 | 1.25% | 52,211 |
| | $ 77,265 |
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $2,473 for the period.
7. Other Information.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 22% of the total outstanding shares of the fund and two otherwise unaffiliated shareholders were the owners of record of 73% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
Annual Report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund and Shareholders of Value Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Value Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund, including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Value Portfolio as of December 31, 2004, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and its financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(e) (1) | Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures: |
The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity Fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Covered Service) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm for a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (Non-Covered Service) but that are expected to exceed $50,000 are also subject to pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All Covered Services, as well as Non-Covered Services that are expected to exceed $50,000, must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee. Neither pre-approval nor advance notice of Non-Covered Service engagements for which fees are not expected to exceed $50,000 is required; such engagements are to be reported to the Audit Committee monthly.
