Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio
Notes to Shareholders:
- Effective July 1, 2006, the equity component of the fund's Composite benchmark will change from the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index to a mix of the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Composite IndexSM and the Morgan Stanley Capital InternationalSM Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI® EAFE®) Index to better reflect the fund's investments in U.S. and foreign stocks.
- Fidelity has recently changed the way the VIP Asset Manager Portfolios invest in investment-grade debt securities and certain other types of investments. Rather than investing in investment-grade debt securities through a subportfolio, the VIP Asset Manager Portfolios will now gain exposure to the investment-grade sector through their investments in a central fund.
A central fund is a mutual fund used by this fund and other Fidelity funds as an investment vehicle to gain exposure to a particular market sector - in this case, investment-grade debt. Instead of multiple funds each investing in investment-grade debt securities individually, they can now take advantage of consolidating investments in a single, larger pool of investment-grade debt securities by investing directly in a central fund.
Shares of the central funds are offered only to other Fidelity mutual funds and accounts; investors cannot directly invest in them. It is important to note that this new investment structure does not change the investment strategy of any of the VIP Portfolios.
If you have any questions, please call Fidelity or the insurance company that issued your policy.
Semiannual Report
VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio
Shareholder Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2006 to June 30, 2006).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. The estimate of expenses does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product. If they were, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value would be lower. In addition, the fund, as a shareholder in the underlying affiliated central funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated 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 affiliated central funds, will indirectly bear its pro rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying affiliated 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.

VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio
Notes to Financial Statements
For the period ended June 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies.
VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio (the Fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund II (the trust) (referred to in this report as VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts. The Fund offers the following classes of shares: Initial Class shares, Service Class shares, Service Class 2 shares, and Investor Class shares. All classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions also differ by class.
The Fund may invest in Fidelity Ultra-Short Central Fund (Ultra-Short Central Fund) and fixed-income Central Investment Portfolios (CIPs), collectively referred to as the Central Funds, and affiliated money market central funds (Money Market Central Funds), which are open-end investment companies available to investment companies and other accounts managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and its affiliates. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are also consistently followed by the Central Funds:
Security Valuation. Investments are valued and net asset value (NAV) per share is calculated (NAV calculation) as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Wherever possible, the Fund uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees to value its investments.
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. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the 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 do not accurately reflect fair value, valuations may be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. For example, when developments occur between the close of a market and the close of the NYSE that may materially affect the value of some or all of the securities, or when trading in a security is halted, those securities may be fair valued. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities markets, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. Because the Fund's utilization of fair value pricing depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair value pricing is used can not be predicted and may be utilized to a significant extent. The value of securities used for NAV calculation under fair value pricing may differ from published prices for the same securities.
Foreign Currency. The Fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.
Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.
Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions, including the Fund's investment activity in the Central Funds, are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. The Fund estimates the components of distributions received that may be considered return of capital distributions or capital gain distributions. Interest income and distributions from the 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.

1. 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.
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in a subsequent period.
Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures transactions, swap agreements, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), prior period premium and discount on debt securities, defaulted bonds, market discount, financing transactions, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The federal tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:
Unrealized appreciation | $ 9,556,529 | |
Unrealized depreciation | (5,906,590) | |
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | $ 3,649,939 | |
Cost for federal income tax purposes | $ 236,950,477 | |
New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. FIN 48 sets forth a threshold for financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Fund's net assets and results of operations.
2. Operating Policies.
Repurchase Agreements. FMR has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the Fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts which are then invested in repurchase agreements. The Fund may also invest directly with institutions in repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements are collateralized by government or non-government securities. Upon settlement date, collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. The Fund monitors, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure it is at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the value of the collateral may decline.
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 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. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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.

2. Operating Policies - continued
Swap Agreements. The Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk.
Interest rate swaps are agreements to exchange cash flows periodically based on a notional principal amount, for example, the exchange of fixed rate interest payments for floating rate interest payments. Periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. The primary risk associated with interest rate swaps is that unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates could adversely impact a fund.
Total return swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument or index for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, a fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, a fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Credit default swaps involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a "guarantor" receiving a periodic payment that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount. In return the party agrees to purchase the notional amount of the underlying instrument, at par, if a credit event occurs during the term of the swap. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps in which either it or its counterparty act as guarantors. By acting as the guarantor of a swap, a fund assumes the market and credit risk of the underlying instrument including liquidity and loss of value. Periodic payments and premiums received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized upon early termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with a fund's custodian in compliance with swap contracts.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls. To earn additional income, the Fund may employ trading strategies which involve the sale and simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities ("mortgage dollar rolls") or the purchase and simultaneous agreement to sell similar securities ("reverse mortgage dollar rolls"). The securities traded are mortgage securities and bear the same interest rate but may be collateralized by different pools of mortgages. During the period between the sale and repurchase in a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a 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 which may enhance the yield and total return. In addition, the difference between the sale price and the future purchase price is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. During the period between the purchase and subsequent sale in a reverse mortgage dollar roll transaction a fund is entitled to interest and principal payments on the securities purchased. The price differential between the purchase and sale is recorded as an adjustment to investment income. 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, a fund's right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, U.S. government securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $326,283,796 and $357,795,908, respectively.
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .27% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annualized management fee rate was .57% of the Fund's average net assets.
Distribution and Service Plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate 12b-1 Plans for each Service Class of shares. Each Service Class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR, a service fee. For the period, the service fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of Service Class' average net assets and .25% of Service Class 2's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan - continued
For the period, each class paid FDC the following amounts, all of which were re-allowed to insurance companies for the distribution of shares and providing shareholder support services:
Service Class | $ 2,809 | |
Service Class 2 | 7,678 | |
| $ 10,487 | |
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee with respect to each class. Each class with the exception of Investor Class pays a transfer agent fee, excluding out of pocket expenses, equal to an annual rate of .07% of their month end net assets. Investor Class pays a monthly asset-based transfer agent fee of .18% of its month end net assets. The total transfer agent fees paid by each class to FIIOC, including out of pocket expenses, were as follows:
Initial Class | $ 85,098 | |
Service Class | 1,943 | |
Service Class 2 | 3,032 | |
Investor Class | 5,048 | |
| $ 95,121 | |
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.
Affiliated Central Funds. The Fund may invest in Money Market Central Funds which seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR.
The Fund may also invest in Ultra-Short Central Fund, managed by FIMM, which seeks to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital by investing in U.S. dollar denominated money market and investment-grade debt securities.
The Fund may also invest in CIPs managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company Inc. (FMRC) an affiliate of FMR.
The VIP Investment Grade CIP seeks a high level of income by normally investing in investment-grade debt securities. The High Income Central Investment Portfolio 1 seeks a high level of income and may also seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in debt securities, preferred stocks, and convertible securities, with an emphasis on lower-quality debt securities. The Floating Rate Central Investment Portfolio seeks a high level of income by normally investing in floating rate loans and other floating rate securities.
The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists the Central Funds as an investment of the Fund but does not include the underlying holdings of the Central Funds. Based on their investment objectives, the Central Funds may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. In addition, the Central Funds may also participate in delayed delivery and when-issued securities, and loans and other direct debt instruments. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the Fund and may involve certain economic risks, including the risk that a counterparty to one or more of these transactions may be unable or unwilling to comply with the terms of the governing agreement. This may result in a decline in value of the Central Funds and the Fund.
A complete unaudited list of holdings for the Central Funds, as of the Fund's report date, is available upon request or at advisor.fidelity.com. The reports are located just after the Fund's financial statements and quarterly reports but are not part of the financial statements or quarterly reports. In addition, the Central Funds financial statements are available on the EDGAR Database on the SEC's web site, www.sec.gov, or upon request.
The Central Funds do not pay a management fee.
On June 23, 2006 the Fund completed a non-taxable exchange of securities with a value, including accrued interest, of $36,336,844 (which included $818,420 of unrealized depreciation) for 363,368 shares (each then valued at $100.00 per share) of the VIP Investment Grade Central Investment Portfolio, an affiliated entity. This is considered a non-taxable exchange for federal income tax purposes, with no gain or loss recognized by the Fund or its shareholders.
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 $3,296 for the period.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued
Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:
Borrower or Lender | Average Daily Loan Balance | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Interest Expense |
Borrower | $ 5,161,500 | 4.99% | $ 1,432 |
5. Committed Line of Credit.
The Fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $4.2 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit, which amounts to $410 and is reflected in Miscellaneous Expense on the Statement of Operations. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.
6. Security Lending.
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. 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 affiliated central funds. Net income from lending portfolio securities during the period amounted to $11,373.
7. Expense Reductions.
Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the Fund provided services to the Fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the Fund totaling $81,992 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $95.
8. 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 73% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees
VIP Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio
On January 19, 2006, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve a general research services agreement (the Agreement) between FMR, FMR Co., Inc. (FMRC), Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), and Fidelity Research & Analysis Company (FRAC) (together, the Investment Advisers) for the fund, effective January 20, 2006, pursuant to which FRAC may provide general research and investment advisory support services to FMRC and FIMM. The Board considered that it has approved previously various sub-advisory agreements for the fund with affiliates of FMR that allow FMR to obtain research, non-discretionary advice, or discretionary portfolio management at no additional expense to the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and independent Trustees' counsel, considered a broad range of information and determined that it would be beneficial for the fund to access the research and investment advisory support services supplied by FRAC at no additional expense to the fund.
The Board reached this determination in part because the new arrangement will involve no changes in (i) the contractual terms of and fees payable under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (ii) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (iii) the nature or level of services provided under the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements; (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management; or (v) the ultimate control or beneficial ownership of FMR, FMRC, or FIMM. The Board also considered that the establishment of the Agreement would not necessitate prior shareholder approval of the Agreement or result in an assignment and termination of the fund's management contract or sub-advisory agreements under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Because the Board was approving an arrangement with FRAC under which the fund will not bear any additional management fees or expenses and under which the fund's portfolio manager would not change, it did not consider the fund's investment performance, competitiveness of management fee and total expenses, costs of services and profitability, or economies of scale to be significant factors in its decision.
In connection with its future renewal of the fund's management contract and sub-advisory agreements, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expenses; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies.
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all material factors, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's Agreement is fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Agreement should be approved.
