Fund Summary
Fund/Class:
VIP Hedged Equity Portfolio
/Investor Class
Investment Objective
VIP Hedged Equity Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.
Fee Table
The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred, directly or indirectly, when you, as a variable product owner, buy, hold, and sell interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund. The table does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall fees and expenses would be higher.
Fees
(fees paid directly from your investment)
Not Applicable
Annual Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)
Management fee
0.53%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees
None
Other expenses
1.03%
Total annual operating expenses
1.56% A
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement
1.00% B
Total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement
0.56% A
ADiffers from the ratios of expenses to average net assets in the Financial Highlights section of the prospectus because of acquired fund fees and expenses. For the period, acquired fund fees and expenses are less than 0.01% and are included in other expenses. As a result, the total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement in the fee table exceed the contractual expense limitation of the class.
BFidelity Diversifying Solutions LLC (FDS) has contractually agreed to reimburse the class of shares of the fund to the extent that total operating expenses (excluding interest, certain taxes, proxy and shareholder meeting expenses, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses (including fees and expenses associated with a wholly owned subsidiary), if any, as well as non-operating expenses such as brokerage commissions and fees and expenses associated with the fund's securities lending program, if applicable), as a percentage of its average net assets, exceed 0.55% (the Expense Cap). If at any time during the current fiscal year expenses for the class of shares of the fund fall below the Expense Cap, FDS reserves the right to recoup through the end of the fiscal year any expenses that were reimbursed during the current fiscal year up to, but not in excess of, the Expense Cap. This arrangement will remain in effect through April 30, 2027. FDS may not terminate this arrangement before the expiration date without the approval of the Board of Trustees and may extend it in its discretion after that date.
This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.
Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that the fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. This example does not include any fees or other expenses of any variable annuity or variable life insurance product; if it did, overall expenses would be higher. For every $10,000 invested, here's how much you, as a variable product owner, would pay in total expenses if all interests in a separate account that invests in shares of the fund were redeemed at the end of each time period indicated:

Portfolio Turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. For the period from January 23, 2025 to December 31, 2025, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 76% (annualized) of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in equity securities.
Equity securities represent an ownership interest, or the right to acquire an ownership interest, in an issuer. Equity securities include common stocks (including depositary receipts evidencing ownership of common stock), preferred stocks and other preferred securities, convertible securities, rights and warrants, and other securities, such as hybrid securities and trust preferred securities, believed to have equity-like characteristics.
Derivative instruments that provide investment exposure to the investments above or exposure to one or more market risk factors associated with such investments are included in the fund's 80% policy, consistent with the fund's investment policies and limitations with respect to investments in derivatives.
  • Investing in common stocks of companies with market capitalizations generally similar to companies in the S&P 500® Index.
  • Using a disciplined approach designed to construct an equity portfolio with similar risk-return characteristics to the S&P 500® Index.
  • Employing a disciplined options-based strategy designed to provide downside protection in certain market conditions (i.e., offset or mitigate a decrease in the value of the fund's investments). The extent of this protection will be determined primarily based on the cost of the put options in the marketplace.
  • Managing the options positions in a way that provides diversification of options strike prices and expirations.
Principal Investment Risks
  • Stock Market Volatility.
Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes.
The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.
  • Options Risk.
The fund may purchase or write (i.e., sell) put and call options. Under certain circumstances, the fund may be required to buy or sell the underlying reference at a disadvantageous price, resulting in a loss. Options may involve economic leverage, which could result in greater volatility in price movement. Certain transaction costs associated with purchasing and writing options may impact the fund's returns.
You could lose money by investing in the fund.
Performance
Performance history will be available for the fund after the fund has been in operation for one calendar year.

Fidelity Diversifying Solutions LLC (FDS) (the Adviser) is the fund's manager. Other investment advisers serve as sub-advisers for the fund.

Purchase and Sale of Shares
Only Permitted Accounts, including separate accounts of insurance companies and qualified funds of funds that have signed the appropriate agreements with the fund, if applicable, can buy or sell shares. Insurance companies offer variable annuity and variable life insurance products through separate accounts. A qualified fund of funds is an eligible insurance-dedicated mutual fund that invests in other mutual funds.
Permitted Accounts - not variable product owners - are the shareholders of the fund. Variable product owners hold interests in separate accounts, including separate accounts that are shareholders of qualified funds of funds. The terms of the offering of interests in separate accounts are included in the variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus.
The price to buy one share is its net asset value per share (NAV). Shares will be bought at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
The price to sell one share is its NAV. Shares will be sold at the NAV next calculated after an order is received in proper form.
The fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.
There is no purchase minimum for fund shares.
Tax Information
Variable product owners seeking to understand the tax consequences of their investment should consult with their tax advisers or the insurance company that issued their variable product, or refer to their variable annuity or variable life insurance product prospectus. Insurance company separate accounts generally do not pay tax on dividends or capital gain distributions from the fund.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund, the Adviser, Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), and/or their affiliates may pay intermediaries, which may include insurance companies and their affiliated broker-dealers and service-providers (who may be affiliated with the Adviser or FDC), for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing your intermediary and your investment professional to recommend the fund over another investment. Ask your investment professional or visit your intermediary's web site for more information.
Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC) is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). You may obtain information about SIPC, including the SIPC brochure, by visiting www.sipc.org or calling SIPC at 202-371-8300.
