NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the fund nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

APerformance for Service Class shares reflects on asset-based distribution fee (12b-1 fee).
BThe initial offering of Service Class 2 shares took place on January 12, 2000. Performance for Service Class 2 shares reflect an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee). Returns prior to January 12, 2000 are those of Service Class which reflect a different 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class 2's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to January 12, 2000 would have been lower.
C The initial offering of Investor Class shares took place on July 21, 2005. Returns prior to July 21, 2005 are those of Initial Class. If Investor Class's transfer agent fee had been reflected, returns prior to July 21, 2005 would have been lower.
$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in VIP Asset Manager Portfolio - Initial Class on December 31, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period.
Comments from Derek Young, Lead Portfolio Manager of VIP Asset Manager Portfolio
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system, and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
A strong first half of the year was more than wiped out in the second half as financial market confidence cratered and our positioning yielded outsized losses. For the 12-month period, the fund fell far short of the Fidelity Asset Manager 50% Composite Index, which returned -18.63%. (For specific portfolio results, please see the performance section of this report.) Security selection was decidedly negative in the domestic equity and investment-grade bond categories, and asset allocation, too, was ineffective this period. It was an unforgiving environment for riskier assets, as the burgeoning global financial crisis spawned a massive flight to quality. Consequently, it proved harmful to favor equities and high-yield debt securities over stronger-performing investment-grade bonds and cash. The domestic equity subportfolio significantly underperformed its benchmark, plagued by steep losses in former market leaders - energy, materials and other cyclically oriented names - during the latter part of the year when world economic activity collapsed. Stock selection in energy, financials and technology hurt quite a bit, as did our overweighting in materials and underweighting in consumer staples. Good stock picks in transportation, a large underweighting in financials and a modest cash position were the only notable offsets. Individual detractors included fertilizer producer Mosaic, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold and three energy names - Quicksilver Resources, Chesapeake Energy and Valero Energy. Top contributors were Delta Air, its merger partner, Northwest Airlines, and Southwestern Energy. The subportfolio's positioning changed dramatically during the period, with large overweightings in energy and materials being reduced while more-defensive groups such as health care, telecommunication services and consumer staples became areas of emphasis. Elsewhere, the developed-markets portion of the international equity component - represented by an underlying Fidelity central fund - finished slightly ahead of its benchmark. In December, as part of the foreign "sleeve," we began investing in a central fund of emerging-markets equities. A weak showing from the investment-grade central fund hurt a lot. Investments in beaten-down corporate bonds, subprime mortgage-backed securities and other securitized products - along with underweighting strong-performing government bonds - detracted meaningfully. Although allocations to high yield and floating rate hurt, excess returns from the high-yield and floating-rate central funds helped curb some of the damage. The strategic cash component, including the money market central fund, outperformed as well.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
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, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.
VIP Asset Manager Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. 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 Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent 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 invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. 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 the short-term gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustee compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
4. Operating Policies - continued
Futures Contracts - continued
("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms.
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.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $1,390,446,636 and $1,612,885,279, respectively.
6. 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 .25% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .26% 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 .51% 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
$ 11,064
Service Class 2
130,115
$ 141,179
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class (with the exception of Investor Class) pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of average net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .15% of average net assets. Prior to February 1, 2008, Investor Class paid a monthly asset based transfer agent fee of .18% of average net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class
$ 1,073,676
Service Class
9,992
Service Class 2
43,557
Investor Class
100,950
$ 1,228,175
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.
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 $13,813 for the period.
Annual Report
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,591 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $100,401.
9. 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 $60,874 for the period.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 30% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund and one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 19% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $245,006, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Annual Report
Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund V and Shareholders of VIP Asset Manager Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of VIP Asset Manager Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2008, 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 five 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 audit 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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. Our 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 VIP Asset Manager Portfolio as of December 31, 2008, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the fund nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

$10,000 Over 10 Years
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in VIP Asset Manager: Growth® Portfolio - Initial Class on December 31, 1998. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index (S&P 500®) performed over the same period.
Comments from Derek Young, Lead Portfolio Manager of VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system, and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
A strong first half of the year was more than wiped out in the second half as financial market confidence cratered and our positioning yielded outsized losses. For the 12-month period, the fund fell far short of the Fidelity Asset Manager 70% Composite Index, which returned -26.96%. (For specific portfolio results, please see the performance section of this report.) Security selection was decidedly negative in the domestic equity and investment-grade bond categories, and asset allocation, too, was ineffective this period. It was an unforgiving environment for riskier assets, as the burgeoning global financial crisis spawned a massive flight to quality. Consequently, it proved harmful to favor equities and high-yield debt securities over stronger-performing investment-grade bonds and cash. The domestic equity subportfolio significantly underperformed its benchmark, plagued by steep losses in former market leaders - energy, materials and other cyclically oriented names - during the latter part of the year when world economic activity collapsed. Stock selection in energy, financials and technology hurt quite a bit, as did our overweighting in materials and underweighting in consumer staples. Good stock picks in transportation, a large underweighting in financials and a modest cash position were the only notable offsets. Individual detractors included fertilizer producer Mosaic, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold and three energy names - Quicksilver Resources, Chesapeake Energy and Valero Energy. Top contributors were Delta Air, its merger partner, Northwest Airlines, and Southwestern Energy. The subportfolio's positioning changed dramatically during the period, with large overweightings in energy and materials being reduced while more-defensive groups such as health care, telecommunication services and consumer staples became areas of emphasis. Elsewhere, the developed-markets portion of the international equity component - represented by an underlying Fidelity central fund - finished slightly ahead of its benchmark. In December, as part of the foreign "sleeve," we began investing in a central fund of emerging-markets equities. A weak showing from the investment-grade central fund hurt a lot. Investments in beaten-down corporate bonds, subprime mortgage-backed securities and other securitized products - along with underweighting strong-performing government bonds - detracted meaningfully. Although allocations to high yield and floating rate hurt, excess returns from the high-yield and floating-rate central funds helped curb some of the damage. The cash component of the fund outperformed as well.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
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, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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 fees and expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds in which the Fund invests are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio.

VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. 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 Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for the Fund's investments is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are 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.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. 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 the short-term gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows:

$ 9,798,205
New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts
Annual Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
4. Operating Policies - continued
Futures Contracts - continued
involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms.
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.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Equity and Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $212,758,648 and $224,151,292, respectively.
6. 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 .26% 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 .56% 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
$ 4,298
Service Class 2
22,334
$ 26,632
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class (with the exception of Investor Class) pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of average net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .15% of average net assets. Prior to February 1, 2008, Investor Class paid asset based transfer agent fee of .18% of average net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class
$ 129,166
Service Class
3,215
Service Class 2
9,113
Investor Class
39,937
$ 181,431
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.
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 $2,215 for the period.
Annual Report
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $461 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less fees and expenses associated with the loan, plus any premium payments that may be received on the loan of certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $27,578.
9. 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 $15,420 for the period.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 74% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $40,059, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

Annual Report
Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund V and Shareholders of VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2008, 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 five 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 audit 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included 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. Our 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides 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 VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio as of December 31, 2008, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the funds nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index performed over the same period.
Annual Report
VIP Freedom 2010 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, if any) 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.

Comments from Christopher Sharpe and Jonathan Shelon, Co-Portfolio Managers of VIP Freedom Funds
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
Each of the VIP Freedom Funds turned in negative absolute returns for the 12-month period and, on a relative basis, all fell behind their respective Composite indexes. (For specific portfolio results, please refer to the performance section of this report.) The domestic equity asset class lagged the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, which slid 37.23%, due mostly to unproductive stock selection within the underlying funds. Meanwhile, the international equity asset class performed more or less in line with the MSCI EAFE. In fixed-income, the Funds' investments in investment-grade bonds also underperformed, compared with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Our investment-grade bond sleeve lagged mostly because of its overweighted exposure to "spread-based" securities, such as asset-backed and mortgage-backed issues, which, even though they were mostly high-quality securities, still saw their yield spreads widen and prices fall as the credit crunch worsened during the year. On the other hand, the Funds' short-term holding edged out the 2.24% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bill Index - mostly due to its focus on short-maturity money market instruments from high-quality issuers. Turning to high-yield, the Funds' high-yield holding declined steeply but still outpaced the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of each 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
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.

VIP Freedom Income Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2005 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2025 Portfolio and VIP Freedom 2030 Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund V. Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) 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. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Funds invest primarily in a combination of other VIP equity, fixed income, and short-term funds (the Underlying Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). Shares of each Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. Each Fund offers three 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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect each Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
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 the short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds 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 for each Fund:

3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Funds with investment management related services. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.
Other Transactions. Strategic Advisers has entered into an administration agreement with FMR under which FMR provides management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each Fund. Pursuant to this agreement, FMR pays all expenses of each Fund, excluding the distribution and service fees, the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. FMR also contracts with other Fidelity companies to perform the services necessary for the operation of each Fund. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds have 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 reallowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Funds within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the Underlying Fund's net assets. At the end of the period, VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio was the owner of record of approximately 15% of the total outstanding shares of VIP Value Portfolio. The Funds, in aggregate, were the owners of record of approximately 36% of the total outstanding shares of VIP Value Portfolio. In addition, at the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates and certain otherwise unaffiliated shareholders each were owners of record of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of the following funds:

To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products V and the Shareholders of VIP Freedom Income Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2005 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2025 Portfolio, and VIP Freedom 2030 Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of VIP Freedom Income Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2005 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2025 Portfolio, and VIP Freedom 2030 Portfolio (the Funds), each a fund of the Variable Insurance Products V Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period from April 26, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 Funds' 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians. 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 positions of VIP Freedom Income Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2005 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2010 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2015 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2020 Portfolio, VIP Freedom 2025 Portfolio, and VIP Freedom 2030 Portfolio as of December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period from April 26, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, and review each fund's performance. If the interests of a fund and an underlying Fidelity fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trustees and Member of the Advisory Board fulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Strategic Advisers has structured the funds to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, Strategic Advisers, the Trustees, and Member of the Advisory Board would take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Except for Edward C. Johnson 3d and James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 158 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Messrs. Johnson and Curvey oversee 380 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.

Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the funds nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) 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.

Comments from Christopher Sharpe and Jonathan Shelon, Co-Portfolio Managers of VIP Freedom Lifetime IncomeSM Funds
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
Each of the VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Funds turned in negative absolute returns for the 12-month period and, on a relative basis, all fell behind their respective Composite indexes. (For specific portfolio results, please refer to the performance section of this report.) The domestic equity asset class lagged the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, which slid 37.23%, due mostly to unproductive stock selection within the underlying funds. Meanwhile, the international equity asset class performed more or less in line with the MSCI EAFE. In fixed-income, the Funds' investments in investment-grade bonds also underperformed, compared with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Our investment-grade bond sleeve lagged mostly because of its overweighted exposure to "spread-based" securities, such as asset-backed and mortgage-backed issues, which, even though they were mostly high-quality securities, still saw their yield spreads widen and prices fall as the credit crunch worsened during the year. On the other hand, the Funds' short-term holding edged out the 2.24% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bill Index - mostly due to its focus on short-maturity money market instruments from high-quality issuers. Turning to high yield, the Funds' high-yield holding declined steeply but still outpaced the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
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.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.
VIP Freedom Lifetime Income I Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income II Portfolio, and VIP Freedom Lifetime Income III Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund V. The Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) 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. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Funds invest primarily in a combination of other VIP equity, fixed income, and short-term funds (the Underlying Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). Shares of each Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect each Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Funds and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Each of the Funds' federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and redemptions of the Underlying Fund shares are noted in the table below.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Funds with investment management related services. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.
Other Transactions. Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers) has entered into an administration agreement with FMR under which FMR provides management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each Fund. Pursuant to this agreement, FMR pays all expenses of each Fund, excluding the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. FMR also contracts with other Fidelity companies to perform the services necessary for the operation of each Fund. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.

6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse the Funds to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following Funds were in reimbursement during the period:

7. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Funds within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the Underlying Fund's net assets.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.
Annual Report
Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products V and the Shareholders of VIP Freedom Lifetime Income I Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income II Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income III Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of VIP Freedom Lifetime Income I Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income II Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income III Portfolio (the Funds), each a fund of Variable Insurance Product V Trust (the trust), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period from July 26, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 Funds' 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, 2008, by correspondence with the custodians. 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 VIP Freedom Lifetime Income I Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income II Portfolio, VIP Freedom Lifetime Income III Portfolio as of December 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period from July 26, 2005 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund, and review each VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund's performance. If the interests of a VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund and an underlying Fidelity fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trustees and Member of the Advisory Board fulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Strategic Advisers has structured the VIP Freedom Lifetime Income Fund to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, Strategic Advisers, the Trustees, and Member of the Advisory Board would take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Except for Edward C. Johnson 3d and James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 158 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Messrs. Johnson and Curvey oversee 380 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.
The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the fund nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

Comments from Xuehai En, who became Portfolio Manager of VIP FundsManager Portfolios on October 1, 2008
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system, and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
For the year ending December 31, 2008, all of the VIP FundsManager Portfolios lagged their respective Composite indexes. (For specific Portfolio results, please see the performance section of this report.) Across the Portfolios, greater equity exposure generally resulted in lower absolute returns and a greater degree of underperformance versus the indexes. The underlying equity funds held by the Portfolios that had significant exposure to the financials, basic materials and energy sectors were the primary drivers of the underperformance. In addition, the Portfolios' holdings of "extended asset class" funds - such as those that invest in high-yield bonds, emerging-markets equities and bonds, and real estate - generally struggled. Our high-yield fund holdings performed well versus their market benchmark. However, they did not help the Portfolios' relative returns because high yield is not included in the Composite indexes and the asset class underperformed investment-grade debt, with which it is compared. On the positive side, the overarching asset allocation strategy across the Portfolios - underweighted in domestic and international equities and investment-grade bonds, and overweighted in cash - helped performance. During the final months of the period, the Portfolios' exposures to extended asset classes were substantially reduced and, in some cases, eliminated. Additional efforts to reposition the Portfolios included increased allocations to index funds to augment international equity and investment-grade bond positions. Lastly, use of sector funds was introduced with the goal of controlling portfolio-level risk more precisely by providing a clearer picture of each Portfolio's industry composition when markets are exhibiting high levels of volatility. Going forward, it is expected that the Portfolios will maintain their current limited exposure to extended asset classes in favor of opportunities within core asset classes such as domestic equities and investment-grade bonds.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of each 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
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.

VIP FundsManager 20% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 50% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 70% Portfolio, and VIP FundsManager 85% Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund V. Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) 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. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Funds invest primarily in a combination of other VIP and Fidelity retail equity, fixed income, and short-term funds (the Underlying Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). Shares of each Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. Each Fund offers three classes of shares: Investor 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.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect each Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
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 the short-term gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, capital loss carryforwards, losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.
The tax-basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers), an affiliate of FMR, provides the funds with investment management related services. For these services each fund pays a monthly management fee to Strategic Advisers. The management fee is based on an annual rate of ..25% of each fund's average net assets. The management fee is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the independent Trustees.
Strategic Advisers has contractually agreed to waive 0.05% of its management fee, thereby limiting each fund's management fee to an annual rate of 0.20% of average net assets, until July 31, 2009.
Other Transactions. Strategic Advisers has entered into an administration agreement with FMR under which FMR provides management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each Fund. Pursuant to this agreement, FMR pays all expenses of each Fund, excluding the distribution and service fees, the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. FMR also contracts with other Fidelity companies to perform the services necessary for the operation of each Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Funds have 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 reallowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:

7. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments by the Funds within their principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of the Underlying Fund's net assets. At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products and the Shareholders of VIP FundsManager 20% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 50% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 70% Portfolio, and VIP FundsManager 85% Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of VIP FundsManager 20% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 50% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 60% Portfolio, VIP FundsManager 70% Portfolio, and VIP FundsManager 85% Portfolio (funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund V) at December 31, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the periods indicated, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated and the financial highlights for each of 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 Funds' 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, 2008 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each VIP FundsManager Portfolio and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each VIP FundsManager Portfolio's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each VIP FundsManager Portfolio, and review each VIP FundsManager Portfolio's performance. If the interests of a VIP FundsManager Portfolio and an underlying Fidelity fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trustees and Member of the Advisory Board fulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Strategic Advisers has structured the VIP FundsManager Portfolio to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, Strategic Advisers, the Trustees, and Member of the Advisory Board would take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Except for Edward C. Johnson 3d and James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 158 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Messrs. Johnson and Curvey oversee 380 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.
The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) 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.

Comments from Christopher Sharpe and Jonathan Shelon, Co-Portfolio Managers of VIP Investor Freedom® Funds
By year-end 2008, the vicious credit crisis sparked in the U.S. had spread like wildfire across the world's capital markets, stunting global growth, toppling commodity prices, changing the face of the global financial system and chasing risk-averse investors toward the sidelines. The U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM and Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, fell hard as a result, declining 31.93% and 37.00%, respectively, while the technology-laden NASDAQ Composite® Index slid 40.03%. Foreign market stocks saw an even sharper decline, as illustrated by the 43.28% loss of the MSCI® EAFE® Index (Europe, Australasia, Far East), a gauge of developed stock markets outside the U.S. and Canada. A generally stronger U.S. dollar also held back returns for U.S. investors in foreign equities. Emerging-markets stocks - the global performance leader only a year ago - fell harder still, dropping 53.18%, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The only clear winners during the past year were assets backed by the U.S. government, as investors fled from risk. Thus, the Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the year, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broader measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - gained a more modest 5.24%. By contrast, high-yield bonds bore the brunt of investors' increasing wariness over risk, as expressed by the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index's drop of 26.11%. The emerging-markets bond category also felt the shock of investors' risk-averse sentiment, with the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global falling 10.91%. Meanwhile, the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - representing the debt performance of major global economies, excluding the United States - eked out a 1.69% gain.
Each of the VIP Investor Freedom Funds turned in negative absolute returns for the 12-month period and, on a relative basis, all fell behind their respective Composite indexes. (For specific portfolio results, please refer to the performance section of this report.) The domestic equity asset class lagged the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM, which slid 37.23%, due mostly to unproductive stock selection within the underlying funds. Meanwhile, the international equity asset class performed more or less in line with the MSCI EAFE. In fixed-income, the Funds' investments in investment-grade bonds also underperformed, compared with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Our investment-grade bond sleeve lagged mostly because of its overweighted exposure to "spread-based" securities, such as asset-backed and mortgage-backed issues, which, even though they were mostly high-quality securities, still saw their yield spreads widen and prices fall as the credit crunch worsened during the year. On the other hand, the Funds' short-term holding edged out the 2.24% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. 3 Month Treasury Bill Index - mostly due to its focus on short-maturity money market instruments from high-quality issuers. Turning to high yield, the Funds' high-yield holding declined steeply but still outpaced the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in underlying Fidelity Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.
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 Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) 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. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Funds invest primarily in a combination of other VIP equity, fixed income, and short-term funds (the Underlying Funds) managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR). Shares of each Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts.
2. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
The Funds are subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Funds' fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect each Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for each Fund's investments is included at the end of each Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each fund in the trust. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. Each Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

3. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits certain Funds and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. Certain Funds may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Each applicable Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Strategic Advisers, Inc. (Strategic Advisers), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Funds with investment management related services. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.
Other Transactions. Strategic Advisers has entered into an administration agreement with FMR under which FMR provides management and administrative services (other than investment advisory services) necessary for the operation of each Fund. Pursuant to this agreement, FMR pays all expenses of each Fund, excluding the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. FMR also contracts with other Fidelity companies to perform the services necessary for the operation of each Fund. The Funds do not pay any fees for these services.
6. Expense Reductions.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Funds to the extent annual operating expenses exceeded certain levels of average net assets as noted in the table below. Some expenses, for example interest expense, are excluded from this reimbursement.

7. Other.
The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of VIP Investor Freedom Income Portfolio, VIP Investor Freedom 2005 Portfolio, VIP Investor Freedom 2010 Portfolio, VIP Investor Freedom 2015 Portfolio, VIP Investor Freedom 2020 Portfolio, VIP Investor Freedom 2025 Portfolio and VIP Investor Freedom 2030 Portfolio (the Funds), each a fund of Variable Insurance Products IV Trust at December 31, 2008, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of 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 Funds' 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, 2008 by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The Trustees, Member of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, and review each fund's performance. If the interests of a fund and an underlying Fidelity fund were to diverge, a conflict of interest could arise and affect how the Trustees and Member of the Advisory Board fulfill their fiduciary duties to the affected funds. Strategic Advisers has structured the funds to avoid these potential conflicts, although there may be situations where a conflict of interest is unavoidable. In such instances, Strategic Advisers, the Trustees, and Member of the Advisory Board would take reasonable steps to minimize and, if possible, eliminate the conflict. Except for Edward C. Johnson 3d and James C. Curvey, each of the Trustees oversees 158 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Messrs. Johnson and Curvey oversee 380 funds advised by FMR or an affiliate.
The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. Each Trustee who is not an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) (Independent Trustee), shall retire not later than the last day of the calendar year in which his or her 72nd birthday occurs. The Independent Trustees may waive this mandatory retirement age policy with respect to individual Trustees. The executive officers and Advisory Board Member hold office without limit in time, except that any officer and Advisory Board Member may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the fund nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

Comments from Ford O'Neil, Portfolio Manager of VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio
As investors sought out a safe haven from extreme volatility plaguing nearly all segments of the market, higher-quality debt reigned during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008. Extreme crisis in the credit markets, despite falling interest rates, led to an environment within the U.S. investment-grade bond universe whereby any instrument backed implicitly or explicitly by the federal government fared well and virtually everything else showed lackluster or poor performance. U.S. Treasuries - considered by many as the ultimate "safe" securities - outperformed all other investment-grade categories as investors fled from risk. The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the period, while mortgage-backed securities ended the period with a solid gain of 8.34%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - returned a more modest 5.24%. As increasingly wary investors shied further and further away from bonds at the higher-end of the risk spectrum, asset-backed securities felt the brunt of the pain, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Fixed-Rate Asset-Backed Securities Index losing 12.72%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index - a measure of high-quality corporate debt - tumbled 3.08%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a broad measure of the domestic stock market, fell 37.00%.
For the year ending December 31, 2008, the fund significantly underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. (For specific portfolio results, please refer to the performance section of this report.) I invested virtually all of the fund's assets in VIP Investment Grade Central Fund, which I also manage and which - during the first half of the period - included a large holding in Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund. The remainder was invested in individual securities, short-term repurchase agreements and Fidelity Specialized High Income Central Fund. My discussion of the fund's performance reflects its holdings in aggregate, including the underlying central funds and other investments I just mentioned. It's also important to note that by mid-year, I had eliminated VIP Investment Grade Central's exposure to Ultra-Short Central, while still maintaining exposure to the same securities via direct holdings because I felt they represented attractive values. With that as a backdrop, the main factor behind the fund's poor showing was sector selection. In particular, the fund's significant underweighting in U.S. government bonds and its emphasis on corporate bonds and securitized bonds - including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) - worked against us amid a global flight to safety. Security selection among corporates - particularly an overweighting in poor-performing real estate investment trusts (REITs) - also detracted from performance. Bright spots for the year included advantageous yield-curve positioning, with a heavier concentration than the index in intermediate-term securities working in the fund's favor. To manage the fund's yield-curve positioning, I used interest rate swaps, which are contracts that involve the exchange of fixed-rate interest payments and floating-rate interest payments. Holdings in swaps generally aided performance during the year.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies with similar objectives to those of the Fund, available only to other mutual funds and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company, (FMR) and its affiliates. In addition to the direct expenses incurred by the Fund presented in the table, as a shareholder of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate either the actual or hypothetical expense estimates presented in the table but are summarized in a footnote to the table.
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, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to each Class' annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
In addition to the expenses noted above, the Fund also indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. Annualized expenses of Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund and Fidelity Specialized High Income Central Fund as of their most recent fiscal half-year were less than .01%.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.
VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. 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 Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in VIP Investment Grade Central Fund, which is managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR and seeks a high level of income by normally investing in investment-grade debt securities. VIP Investment Grade Central Fund's operating and accounting policies are outlined in its financial statements, included at the end of this report as an attachment.
Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at advisor.fidelity.com. A complete unaudited list of holdings for Fidelity Specialized High Income Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices.
Annual Report
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities.
Expenses. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
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 the short-term gain distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds, swap agreements, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), deferred trustees compensation, and capital loss carryforwards.

SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
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.
Swap Agreements. The Fund entered into swap agreements, which are contracts between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are realized in the event of an early termination of a swap agreement. Risks of loss may include unfavorable changes in the returns of the underlying instruments or indexes, adverse fluctuations of interest rates, failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreement and lack of liquidity in the market. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian bank in accordance with the swap agreement. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held in the Fund's custodian bank.
The Fund entered into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer ("buyer of protection") and/or to gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed ("seller of protection"). The issuer may be either a single issuer or a "basket" of issuers. As a buyer of protection, the Fund does so when it holds bonds of the issuer or without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the reference entity. Under the terms of a credit default swap the buyer of protection (buyer) receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection (seller) based on a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller acts as a guarantor of the credit worthiness of a reference obligation. Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Periodic payments are made over the life of the contract provided that no credit event occurs. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by events such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring. If a credit event were to occur during the term of the contract, upon notification from the buyer, the seller is obligated to take delivery from the buyer the notional amount of a reference obligation, at par. The difference between the value of the obligation received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss to the seller. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, the reference

obligation described represents the security that will be put to the seller. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, under the terms of the agreement, the obligation that is put to the seller is not limited to the specific reference obligation described.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities, aggregated $391,572,184 and $353,661,314, respectively.
6. 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 .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .32% 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
$ 181,296
Service Class 2
2,630,055
$ 2,811,351
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class (with the exception of Investor Class) pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of average net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .10% of average net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class
$ 756,312
Service Class
122,525
Service Class 2
702,570
Investor Class

$ 1,904,792
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 Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $5,196 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. 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, including commitment fees, are excluded from this reimbursement.
The following classes were in reimbursement during the period:
Expense Limitations
Reimbursement from adviser
Investor Class
.65% -.45%*
$ 33,917
* Expense limitation in effect at period end.
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 $529.
9. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 27% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund and one otherwise unaffiliated shareholder was the owner of record of 24% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

12. Credit Risk
The Fund invests a portion of its assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by subprime mortgage loans have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of less liquidity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.
Annual Report
Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund V and Shareholders of VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio (the Fund), a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2008, 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 five 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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, 2008, 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 VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio as of December 31, 2008, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Annual Report
The following are the financial statements for the Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund as of December 31, 2008 which is a direct investment of VIP Investment Grade Bond Portfolio.

Performance: The Bottom Line
Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) 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.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in VIP Investment Grade Central Fund on June 23, 2006, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index performed over the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Comments from Ford O'Neil, Portfolio Manager of VIP Investment Grade Central Fund
As investors sought out a safe haven from extreme volatility plaguing nearly all segments of the market, higher-quality debt reigned during the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008. Extreme crisis in the credit markets, despite falling interest rates, led to an environment within the U.S. investment-grade bond universe whereby any instrument backed implicitly or explicitly by the federal government fared well and virtually everything else showed lackluster or poor performance. U.S. Treasuries - considered by many as the ultimate "safe" securities - outperformed all other investment-grade categories as investors fled from risk. The Barclays Capital U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 13.74% for the period, while mortgage-backed securities ended the period with a solid gain of 8.34%, according to the Barclays Capital U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Index. The Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index - a broad measure of the U.S. investment-grade bond universe - returned a more modest 5.24%. As increasingly wary investors shied further and further away from bonds at the higher-end of the risk spectrum, asset-backed securities felt the brunt of the pain, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Fixed-Rate Asset-Backed Securities Index losing 12.72%. The Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Index - a measure of high-quality corporate debt - tumbled 3.08%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index, a broad measure of the domestic stock market, fell 37.00%.
For the year ending December 31, 2008, the fund returned -2.29%, significantly underperforming the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The main factor behind the fund's poor showing was sector selection, with its significant underweighting in U.S. government securities and its heavy emphasis on corporate bonds and securitized products - including commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) - working against us amid a global flight to safety. Corporate bonds also were plagued by worries about corporate profitability. CMBS - which are backed by loans for office and apartment buildings, retail stores, hotels and other commercial buildings - declined on expectations that vacancy rates, rents and property values had only just begun to erode. ABS - including those backed by auto, credit card and home-equity loans - were hurt by concerns about rising consumer delinquencies and defaults in response to tighter credit conditions. CMOs - which are pools of mortgage pass-through securities that are carved into classes, or tranches, with varying characteristics - underperformed plain-vanilla mortgage securities. Many of these securitized bonds were held in the first half of the period through Fidelity® Ultra-Short Central Fund, which I ultimately divested out of, but still maintained exposure to the same securities via direct holdings because I felt they represented attractive values. Bright spots for the year included advantageous yield-curve positioning, with a heavier concentration than the index in intermediate-term securities working in the fund's favor. To manage the fund's yield-curve positioning, I used interest rate swaps, which are contracts that involve the exchange of fixed-rate interest payments and floating-rate interest payments. Holdings in swaps generally, aided performance during the year.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including 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, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

Duration shows how much a bond fund's price fluctuates with changes in comparable interest rates. If rates rise 1%, for example, a fund with a five-year duration is likely to lose about 5% of its value. Other factors also can influence a bond fund's performance and share price. Accordingly, a bond fund's actual performance may differ from this example.

13. Organization.
Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund (the Fund) is a fund of Fidelity Garrison Street Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the Fund are only offered to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), or its affiliates (the Investing Funds).
14. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
On June 27, 2008, the Fund redeemed 2,971,457 shares of Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund, an affiliated entity, valued at $245,828,638 by receiving securities of equal value, including accrued interest. This is considered taxable to each Investing Fund for federal income tax purposes.
15. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Fund adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
Not Part of Financial Report
Notes to Financial Statements - continued
3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Security Valuation - continued
for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and distributions from other Fidelity Central Funds are accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities. Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed-income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted to the rate of inflation. Interest is accrued based on the principal value, which is adjusted for inflation. Any increase in the principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is recorded as interest income, even though principal is not received until maturity. 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years.
Dividends are declared daily and paid monthly from net investment income. Distributions from realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. Certain adjustments have been made to the accounts related to prior periods. Collectively, 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 swap agreements, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
16. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
Swap Agreements. The Fund entered into swap agreements, which are contracts between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are realized in the event of an early termination of a swap agreement. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Fund's Statement of Asset and Liabilities. Risks of loss may include unfavorable changes in the returns of the underlying instruments or indexes, adverse fluctuations of interest rates, failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreement and lack of liquidity in the market. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements." Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian bank in accordance with the swap agreement and if required, is identified in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held in the Fund's custodian bank.
Changes in interest rates can have a negative effect on both the value of the Fund's bond holdings as well as the amount of interest income earned. In general, the value of bonds can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. The Fund entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates (e.g. fixed rate, floating rate), applied to a notional principal amount.
The Fund entered into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against defaults of an issuer ("buyer of protection") and/or to gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed ("seller of protection"). The issuer may be either a single issuer or a "basket" of issuers. As a buyer of protection, the Fund does so when it holds bonds of the issuer or without owning the underlying asset or debt issued by the

Swap Agreements - continued
reference entity. Under the terms of a credit default swap the buyer of protection (buyer) receives credit protection in exchange for making periodic payments to the seller of protection (seller) based on a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return for these payments, the seller acts as a guarantor of the credit worthiness of a reference obligation. Any upfront payments made or received upon entering a credit default swap contract would be amortized or accreted over the life of the swap and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Periodic payments are made over the life of the contract provided that no credit event occurs. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, a credit event may be triggered by events such as failure to pay principal, maturity extension, rating downgrade or write-down. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, a credit event may be triggered by events such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium or restructuring. If a credit event were to occur during the term of the contract, upon notification from the buyer, the seller is obligated to take delivery from the buyer the notional amount of a reference obligation, at par. The difference between the value of the obligation received and the notional amount paid is recorded as a realized loss to the seller. For credit default swaps on asset-backed securities, the reference obligation described represents the security that will be put to the seller. For credit default swaps on corporate or sovereign issuers, under the terms of the agreement, the obligation that is put to the seller is not limited to the specific reference obligation described in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
The notional amount of credit default swaps is included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments and approximates the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make if the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event were to occur. The total notional amount of all credit default swaps open at period end where the Fund is the seller of protection amounted to $42,836,729 representing 1.35% of net assets.
The value of each credit default swap and credit rating disclosed for each reference obligation in the Fund's Schedule of Investments, where the Fund is the seller of protection, are both measures of the current payment/performance risk of the swap. As the value of the swap changes as a positive or negative percentage of the total notional amount, the payment/performance risk may decrease or increase, respectively. Any current or future declines in the value of the swap may be partially offset by upfront payments received by the Fund as the seller of protection if applicable. In addition to these measures, FMR monitors a variety of factors including cash flow assumptions, market activity and market sentiment as part of its ongoing process of assessing payment/performance risk.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Fund may enter into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities, realizing a gain or loss, and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar securities at a future date. In addition, the Fund may enter into reverse dollar rolls in which the Fund purchases and simultaneously agrees to sell substantially similar securities at a future date. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a dollar roll transaction, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold but will invest the proceeds of the sale in other securities that are permissible investments of the Fund. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse dollar roll transaction, the Fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If the counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
17. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities(including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $753,179,130 and $664,707,773, respectively.
18. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee and Expense Contract. Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR, provides the Fund with investment management services. The Fund does not pay any fees for these services. Pursuant to the Fund's management contract with FIMM, FMR pays FIMM a portion of the management fees it receives from the Investing Funds. In addition, under an expense contract, FMR also pays all other expenses of the Fund, excluding custody fees, the compensation of the independent Trustees, and certain exceptions such as interest expense.
19. Expense Reductions.
FMR has voluntarily agreed to reimburse a portion of the Fund's operating expenses. For the period, the reimbursement reduced the expenses by $14,963.
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 $15,325.
Not Part of Financial Report
20. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period mutual funds managed by FMR or an FMR affiliate were the owners of record of all of the outstanding shares of the Fund according to the following schedule:

21. Credit Risk.
The Fund invests a portion of it assets, directly or indirectly, in structured securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including securities backed by subprime mortgage loans. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by subprime mortgage loans have resulted in increased volatility of market price and periods of less liquidity that have adversely impacted the valuation of certain issuers of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Fidelity Garrison Street Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund (the Fund), a fund of Fidelity Garrison Street Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2008, 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 two years in the period then ended and for the period from June 23, 2006 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2006. 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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, 2008, 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 Fidelity VIP Investment Grade Central Fund as of December 31, 2008, 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 two years in the period then ended and for the period from June 23, 2006 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOT FDIC INSURED · MAY LOSE VALUE · NO BANK GUARANTEE
Neither the fund nor Fidelity Distributors Corporation is a bank.
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, if any) 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.

$10,000 Over Life of Fund
Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was invested in VIP Strategic Income Portfolio - Initial Class on December 23, 2003, when the fund started. The chart shows how the value of your investment would have changed, and also shows how the Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index performed over the same period.
Comments from Derek Young and Joanna Bewick, Lead Co-Managers of VIP Strategic Income Portfolio
Though not as crushing in absolute terms as the equity markets, global debt securities saw their own share of volatility during the year ending December 31, 2008. As credit markets the world over began to seize up and the multiyear global growth story collapsed, debt backed in some form by the governments of the major developed-world economies produced positive returns. Virtually everything else lost money, as investors spurned risk and fled toward safer havens. In the United States, Treasury securities - long considered an essentially risk-free asset class - produced the most solid returns, with the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index gaining 12.39% during the past year. In sharp contrast, the below-investment-grade high-yield bond market fell deep into negative territory for the period, as illustrated by the -26.11% return of the Merrill Lynch® U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index. Similar risk-averse investment behavior touched the foreign bond markets. Higher-quality sovereign debt issued by the developed economies of the world solidly outpaced the credit instruments issued by the emerging-markets economies. This disparity was highlighted by the 1.69% gain of the Citigroup® Non-U.S. Group of 7 Index - a gauge of the debt performance of major economies outside the U.S. - versus the - -10.91% annual return produced by the JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (EMBI) Global.
VIP Strategic Income underperformed the 8.99% decline of the Fidelity Strategic Income Composite Index for the year. (For specific portfolio results, please refer to the performance section of this report). Our defensive asset allocation strategy - overweighting the higher-quality investment-grade asset classes and underweighting the riskier ones - helped performance versus the Composite index, but security selection at the subportfolio level proved more challenging. In the emerging-markets sleeve, for example, a sizable overweighting in one country position - Argentina - was the biggest factor in our underperformance there. In high-yield debt, the period's worst-performing asset class, our underweighting helped, but was somewhat offset by poor-performing technology and automotive issues in the high-yield subportfolio. The developed-markets sleeve came up a bit short, in part due to the strengthening U.S. dollar, which detracted from the returns of non-U.S. securities. Meanwhile, the U.S. government bond category - the focal point of the debt markets' quality bias - delivered a double-digit gain, and our U.S. fixed-income subportfolio produced a comparably solid return as well.
The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. 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. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.
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, 2008 to December 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
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.

See accompanying notes which are an integral part of the financial statements.
VIP Strategic Income Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. 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 Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
Based on their investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the Fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the Fund. The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The following summarizes the Fund's investment in each Fidelity Central Fund.

An unaudited holdings listing for the Fund, which presents direct holdings as well as the pro rata share of any securities and other investments held indirectly through its investment in underlying non-money market Fidelity Central Funds, is available at advisor.fidelity.com. A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC's web site or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments. Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued by independent pricing services or by dealers who make markets in such securities. Pricing services consider yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices. Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value each business day. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates value.
The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in below investment grade securities. The value of these securities can be more volatile due to changes in the credit quality of the issuer and is sensitive to changes in economic, market and regulatory conditions. Actual prices received at disposition may differ.
When current market prices or quotations are not readily available or reliable, valuations may be determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining value may include significant market or security specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality, and developments in foreign markets which are monitored by evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts

Security Valuation - continued
and exchange-traded funds. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for net asset value (NAV) calculation under these procedures may differ from published prices for the same securities.
The Fund is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (SFAS 157), effective with the beginning of the Fund's fiscal year. SFAS 157 establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The three levels of the hierarchy under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2
Prices determined using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that other market participants may use in pricing a security. These may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others.
Level 3
Prices determined using significant unobservable inputs. In situations where quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable or deemed less relevant (for example, when there is little or no market activity for an investment at the end of the period), unobservable inputs may be used. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the factors market participants would use in pricing an investment, and would be based on the best information available.
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment's assigned level within the hierarchy.
The aggregate value by input level, as of December 31, 2008, for the Fund's investments, as well as a reconciliation of assets for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining value, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
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. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. 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. Interest income and distributions from the Fidelity Central Funds are 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 each Fund in the trust. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and filing its U.S. federal tax return. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. The Fund is subject to the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainties in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. There are no unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. A Fund's federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three years. 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 futures transactions, swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, market discount, partnerships (including allocations from Fidelity Central Funds), capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161), was issued and is effective for reporting periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide information about the reasons the Fund invests in derivative instruments, the accounting treatment and the effect derivatives have on financial performance.
4. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked-to-market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The Fund may receive compensation for interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery or when-issued security. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Futures Contracts. The Fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the bond market and to fluctuations in interest rates. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit with a clearing broker, no later than the following business day, an amount ("initial margin") equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. The initial margin may be in the form of cash or securities and is transferred to a segregated account on settlement date. Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contract and are accounted for as unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains (losses) are recorded upon the expiration or closing of the futures contract. Securities deposited to meet margin requirements are identified in the Schedule of Investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of any futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is shown in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the contract's terms.
Annual Report
4. Operating Policies - continued
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.
Swap Agreements. The Fund entered into swap agreements, which are contracts between two parties to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount. Payments are exchanged at specified intervals, accrued daily commencing with the effective date of the contract and recorded as realized gains or losses in the Fund's accompanying Statement of Operations. Gains or losses are realized in the event of an early termination of a swap agreement. Risks of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Fund's Statement of Asset and Liabilities. Risks of loss may include unfavorable changes in the returns of the underlying instruments or indexes, adverse fluctuations of interest rates, failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreement and lack of liquidity in the market. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Fund's Schedule of Investments under the caption "Swap Agreements." Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian bank in accordance with the swap agreement and if required, is identified in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. The Fund could experience delays and costs in gaining access to the collateral even though it is held in the Fund's custodian bank.
Changes in interest rates can have a negative effect on both the value of the Fund's bond holdings as well as the amount of interest income earned. In general, the value of bonds can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. The Fund entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes. Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates (e.g. fixed rate, floating rate), applied to a notional principal amount.
5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities (including the Fixed-Income Central Funds), other than short-term securities and U.S. government securities, aggregated $578,083,202 and $529,268,277, respectively.
6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .45% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .12% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total 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
$ 3,852
Service Class 2
9,573
$ 13,425
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the Fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class (with the exception of Investor

Class) pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of average net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .10% of average net assets. Prior to February 1, 2008, Investor Class paid a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .14% of average net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:

Service Class

269,626
$ 354,379
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.
7. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $750 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
8. 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 $5,725.
9. Credit Risk.
The Fund invests a portion of its assets in countries with limited or developing capital markets may involve greater risks than investments in more developed markets and the prices of such investments may be volatile. The yields of emerging market debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The consequences of political, social or economic changes in these markets may have disruptive effects on the market prices of the Fund's investments and the income they generate, as well as the Fund's ability to repatriate such amounts.
10. Other.
The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
At the end of the period, FMR or its affiliates were the owners of record of 99% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.
In December 2006, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, completed an investigation regarding gifts, gratuities and business entertainment provided by certain brokers to certain individuals who were employed on FMR's domestic equity trading desk during the period 2002 to 2004. The Independent Trustees and FMR agreed that, despite the absence of proof that the Fidelity mutual funds experienced diminished execution quality as a result of the improper receipt of gifts and business entertainment, the conduct at issue was serious and was worthy of redress. Accordingly, the Independent Trustees requested, and FMR agreed to make, a payment of $42 million plus accrued interest, which equaled approximately $7.3 million, to certain Fidelity mutual funds.
In March 2008, the Trustees approved a method for allocating this payment among the funds and, in total, FMR paid the fund $6, which is recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
In a related administrative order dated March 5, 2008, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced a settlement with FMR and FMR Co., Inc. (an affiliate of FMR) involving the SEC's regulatory rules for investment advisers and the improper receipt of gifts, gratuities and business entertainment. Without admitting or denying the SEC's findings, FMR agreed to pay an $8 million civil penalty to the United States Treasury.

10. Other - continued
During the period, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (LBHI) sought protection under the insolvency laws of their jurisdictions of organization, including the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan. At the time LBHI's insolvency proceedings were instituted, the Fund had outstanding securities trades with counterparties affiliated with LBHI. As a result of the insolvency proceedings, LBHI is unable to fulfill its commitments and, in certain cases, the Fund may have terminated its trades and related agreements with the relevant entities and, where appropriate, is in the process of initiating claims for damages. FMR believes that the financial impact to the Fund relating to the terminated trades and agreements is immaterial.

Annual Report
Reportof Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund V and the Shareholders of VIP Strategic 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 VIP Strategic Income Portfolio (a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund V) at December 31, 2008, 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 the financial highlights for each of 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 VIP Strategic 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, 2008 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC and Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC and Deloitte Entities in their audits of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC and Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, regarding their independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.
Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Fidelity fund's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. 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 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.
All Covered Services 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.
Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.
Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")
There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
