PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW AND MARKET RECAP
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Despite a downturn in February, the last 12 months provided attractive
returns for U.S. stock investors, and Select fund investors in particular.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index had a total
return of 8.33% for the year ended February 28, 1994, slightly below the
market's long-term annual average return. Most of the Select funds - 29 out
of 35 - outperformed the S&P 500. However, two - Insurance (down 1.24%)
and Natural Gas (down 3.84%) - had negative returns during the period.
Low inflation, low interest rates and a strengthening economy boosted U.S.
stocks from March 1993 through January 1994. The Dow Jones Industrial
Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - broke the 3900 barrier for the
first time on January 21, before finishing the month at 3978. Then on
February 4, the Federal Reserve Board pushed up the federal funds rate -
the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - from 3.00% to 3.25%,
which had the effect of raising most interest rates. Fear that inflation
concerns would lead the Fed to hike rates further caused the stock market
to stumble in February, and the S&P 500 lost 2.72% for the month.
Despite that late-period slide, strong performance from cyclical stocks -
whose prices tend to rise and fall in step with the economy - helped drive
the Dow to a 16.88% total return for the year ended February 28. The NASDAQ
Composite Index, which tracks over-the-counter securities, was up 18.15%.
TECHNOLOGY stocks were among the market's best performers over the past
year. Many technologies - from cellular communication to computers - became
more affordable, and consumers embraced new products and services. Related
Select funds reflected the sector's strong gains: Computers, Defense and
Aerospace, Developing Communications, Electronics, Software and Computer
Services, and Technology all were up at least 30% for the year, and
Telecommunications gained over 21%.
As the U.S. economy picked up steam, CYCLICALS made strong gains. After
often painful restructuring, U.S. manufacturers were well positioned once
demand for their goods began to rise, and they quickly found themselves
better able to compete globally. Industrial Equipment, Chemicals,
Industrial Materials, and Paper and Forest Products all rose at least 22%.
In addition, higher demand and effective cost-cutting benefited companies
in the Automotive, Air Transportation, and Transportation funds, which were
all up over 27%. A surge in home buying nationwide fueled Construction and
Housing's equally strong performance. Environmental Services continued to
suffer from an oversupply of environmental companies in the marketplace,
and lagged the rest of the group.
Many HEALTH-CARE stocks performed well considering the uncertainty
surrounding President Clinton's reform plan. Over the past year, many
health-care firms began to form alliances, and prepared to do business
under a new set of rules. Medical Delivery returned over 40%,
Biotechnology, 22% and Health Care, 20%.
The stocks of many traditional CONSUMER PRODUCTS companies stalled over the
past year. Low inflation prevented many food companies, in particular, from
raising prices, which slowed Food and Agriculture. However, Consumer
Products returned over 28%, largely by avoiding the large non-durable
names, and instead focusing on smaller consumer products companies and on
stocks tied to the explosion of communications technology. Many of these
companies produce and distribute new entertainment programming, which falls
under the broad category of consumer products. But they also helped boost
the strong returns of Multimedia and Leisure. Retailing, meanwhile, was
hurt by a consumer shift toward durable goods like homes and autos. Still,
the fund returned over 15%.
Although its overall performance placed it fifth out of the six groups,
ENERGY, UTILITIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES contained a couple of star
performers. Precious Metals and Minerals (up over 70%) and American Gold
(up over 60%) benefited from an increased demand worldwide, and led all
Select funds. But falling crude oil prices hurt Energy, Energy Services,
and Natural Gas. Utilities had a strong first half of 1993 as investors
sought refuge from falling interest rates in high-yielding utilities
stocks, but performance later suffered when rates began to rise.
The strong performance of the stock and bond markets through most of the
year boosted the earnings of Brokerage and Investment Management companies,
and the fund finished the year well ahead of the rest of the FINANCIAL
SERVICES group. Falling interest rates helped the profit margins of
companies in the Home Finance, Financial Services, and Regional Banks funds
through much of 1993. However, all three funds slowed after rates leveled
out, and then began to rise. Finally, the inability of insurers to raise
premiums continued to plague Insurance.
Given the strength of corporate earnings projections over the next six
months, the outlook for many Select funds may appear promising. However,
the valuation - stock prices relative to earnings - of the U.S. stock
market was at a 20-year high at the end of February, which is reason for
caution. Stock prices did fall in March, after the period ended, and the
market could be volatile in the coming months. But regardless of whether
this recent slide turns out to be a short-term correction or the start of a
longer market downturn, a long-term approach to stock investing can help
you weather the peaks and valleys.
Finally, you'll notice some changes in this year's report. The portfolio
manager interviews have been expanded, and we've added a "Fund Facts" box
that contains added information about each fund and its manager. You'll
also find a graph that illustrates how a hypothetical $10,000 investment
would have performed over the life of each fund, compared to the
performance of the S&P 500. We hope what follows will help you better
evaluate your investments. Thank you for your continued interest in
Fidelity Select Portfolios.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Spillane, Jr.
Select Group Leader

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year or since the fund started on
June 29, 1990. You can compare these figures to the performance of the
S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark
includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Mary English,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Consumer Products Portfolio
Q. MARY, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Quite well. Total return was 28.43% for the 12 months ended February 28,
1994. That beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% during the same
period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE S&P?
A. I just recently took over the fund, but the previous manager did well by
being very creative. First, the fund avoided the bigger, traditional
consumer products companies, which were among the market laggards in 1993.
Staying away from the familiar tobacco, food and beverage stocks helped the
fund's performance. Second, the fund dodged retail stocks - again, among
the market's worst performers - and drug companies, which languished amid
doubts about the direction of health-care reform. Instead, the fund was
made up of an eclectic group of consumer products companies.
Q. DID ANY THEMES EMERGE?
A. Several of the fund's best performers were companies that provide
household products. They had in common attractive stock prices relative to
other measures like cash flow and earnings, and excellent growth potential.
Fabricated rubber manufacturer Premark - the fund's top investment at the
end of February - has experienced surging sales of its Tupperware products,
especially overseas. At Stanhome, which manufactures a wide variety of
household items, orders have risen over the past six months, and so has the
stock. Standex International, a conglomerate, produces a wide array of
goods ranging from grocery freezer cases to self-cleaning portable kitchen
hoods for restaurants. Finally, Syratech, a cutlery company, saw stronger
sales of its giftware lines and seasonal products during the Christmas
season. All of these stocks were up at least 25% from the end of August
through the end of February.
Q. WHERE ELSE WERE THERE OPPORTUNITIES?
A. The fund benefited from investor speculation about the roles companies
will play in the building of the information superhighway, which will
combine the technologies of computers, telephones and televisions. General
Instrument - a supplier of cable television and communications equipment -
was a strong performer. Motorola's advancements in wireless communications
and strong semiconductor sales helped boost its stock price. In addition,
Clear Channel Communications - which owns radio stations nationwide -
helped the fund. The company recently shed some of its less profitable
properties in favor of stations in larger markets, which could increase
revenues.
Q. THE IMPROVING ECONOMY HELPED MANY TRADITIONAL CYCLICAL STOCKS - THOSE
THAT RISE AND FALL WITH ECONOMIC CYCLES - IN 1993. DID THE FUND BENEFIT?
A. Yes. As companies that manufacture consumer non-durables struggled,
demand for consumer durable goods shot up. For example, the nationwide
housing boom fueled an increase in appliance sales. Fedders - a room
air-conditioner manufacturer - was among the fund's top 10 investments on
February 28. The company's stock rose on anticipation of increasing orders
heading into summer. Also, Ford - the fund's seventh largest investment -
benefited from a cyclical increase in domestic auto sales.
Q. BUT EACH OF THE BIG THREE AUTO MAKERS HAVE DONE WELL . . .
A. They have. In hindsight, the fund could have performed even better by
investing in Chrysler and General Motors, in addition to Ford. I'd like to
take advantage of the growth potential in auto stocks, but I think we may
already be late in the game.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR VIEW OF THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS, AND HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO
POSITION THE FUND?
A. A shift of consumer spending from durables back to some non-durables may
be beginning. The fund is already invested in Federated Department Stores,
and I'm looking to add selectively to the fund's retail, apparel and
textile stake. In addition, if inflation shows signs of returning, I may
get back into food and beverage companies, which may gain the power to
raise prices without losing revenues. Also, I have my eye on drug
companies. Uncertainty over health-care reform continues to dog them, but
out of uncertainty may come opportunities.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $18,091, a decrease in undistributed net
investment loss of $73,059 and a decrease in accumulated net realized gain
on investments of $91,150.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $13,472,614 and $14,014,758, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $10,852 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $1,263,000 and $916,300,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $7,313,632. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$943,301, of which $1,121,126 related to appreciated investment securities
and $177,825 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $165,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 8.34% 125.95% 348.38%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 222.99%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Food and Agriculture
Portfolio on July 29, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $44,838 -
a 348.38% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $32,299 over the same period - a 222.99%
increase.

FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
William Mankivsky,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Food and
Agriculture Portfolio
Q. BILL, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
11.69%. That beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% during the same
period.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND?
A. Partly the fact that we avoided packaged foods, which didn't fare very
well over the past 12 months. During most of the 1980s, those companies'
earnings were driven by their ability to increase product prices. But now
that's changed, and the companies may not be able to raise prices further.
Packaged food companies suffered as supermarkets resisted price increases,
and consumers turned to cheaper private-label foods. So I looked instead
for companies with products that appear to be on the brink of better
pricing, and as a result, had room to profit from price increases.
Q. WHAT COMPANIES WERE ATTRACTIVE?
A. Dole Food - which gets a significant portion of its revenues from
bananas - is one example. Bananas are currently at the bottom of their
price cycle, and the company has a fair amount of room to improve profits
if banana prices rise. Unfortunately, banana prices didn't recover as
quickly as I thought they would, and the stock was somewhat of a
disappointment. But I'm still optimistic that they have growth potential
so lately I've also been adding to the fund's investments in Chiquita
Brands. Dean Foods - which gets a majority of its profits from canned
vegetables - is another example of a company that could raise prices.
Bumper crops in the early 1990s had depressed vegetable prices. But last
year's floods may mean a decrease in the vegetable supply, which could help
boost their prices this year.
Q. IS THE PRICING CYCLE THE THREAD THAT RUNS THROUGH ALL YOUR TOP
INVESTMENTS?
A. Not necessarily. Ralston Purina Co. - the fund's largest investment at
the end of the period - was attractive in part because the company is
taking demonstrable steps to cut costs. The company also owns Eveready
Batteries, a soy protein business, and a private-label cereal division, in
addition to its core pet food business. What's more, I think the company's
stock is inexpensive compared to its value. Dr. Pepper/Seven-Up Companies
Inc. is re-entering the New York market, which may boost revenues, and it
has a strong cash flow. I also have investments in Tyson Foods Inc., the
nation's largest poultry company, because of its recent strong growth and
its potential for growth to continue.
Q. ONE OF YOUR TOP INVESTMENTS SIX MONTHS AGO WAS DEERE. WHY HAVE YOU
ELIMINATED IT NOW?
A. Deere was one of the fund's strongest performers throughout the period.
But I asked myself "How much higher can it go?" I thought the stock was at
a relatively high price, and I started to worry that any bad news could
send it tumbling. So I pared back the fund's stake in the company. But
there are others in the agriculture sector - like commodity processors - I
have continued to hold. The Midwest floods could have a major effect on
corn prices. If we see anything short of a bumper corn crop in 1994, corn
inventories could be drawn down. If that happens, a seed company like
Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. could benefit from a higher demand for
seed.
Q. DO YOU SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN YOUR STRATEGY OVER THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS?
A. Not really. I think the prospects for the fund may be better than they
were six months ago. I'll probably continue to avoid the packaged food
group since prices of those stocks seem high relative to their value.
Commodity processors, on the other hand, have been out of investors' favor
for some time and I think expectations for improvement are low. But if the
demand for products outpaces supply, investors' interest could come back
and that could help stocks in the group. Finally, I'll continue to look for
situations where product prices are low, with a reasonable chance for
improvement.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $9,784,974, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $126,000 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $9,658,974.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $90,646,827 and $114,201,862, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $61,212 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 84.5%
Mexico 4.8
United Kingdom 3.1
Switzerland 1.7
Chile 1.7
Canada 1.6

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on May 8, 1984. You can compare these figures to the performance of
the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark
includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Leisure Portfolio on May
8, 1984, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By February 28,
1994, your investment would have grown to $58,585 - a 485.85% increase.
That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would have
grown to $41,187 over the same period - a 311.87% increase.

LEISURE PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Deborah Wheeler,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Leisure
Portfolio
Q. DEBORAH, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Very well. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total
return of 37.14%. This was significantly higher than the S&P 500, which
returned 8.33% for the same period.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THESE RESULTS?
A. The fund was invested in certain consumer industries that I expected to
perform well. These industries had an excellent year - most of them were up
at least 30%. Standout industries included cable, cellular, entertainment,
hotels, radio, television, and gaming. Within these groups, several
companies performed particularly well, including LaQuinta Motor Inns and
Clear Channel Communications. In addition, the fund's performance was
enhanced by takeover offers for McCaw, New Line Cinema, Affiliated
Publications, McLean Hunter, Liberty Media, Tele-Communications and
Paramount.
Q. DID YOU SHIFT YOUR INDUSTRY FOCUS DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS?
A. Yes. I increased investments in several industries, most notably
advertising and broadcasting. Ad agencies such as Omnicom have experienced
a pickup in U.S. revenue growth in the past six months as the economy has
recovered and companies have increased their ad budgets. This trend in turn
helped the television and radio broadcast industries by pushing up prices
for media time. Capital Cities/ ABC was the fund's largest position at the
end of February, and it seems well positioned in both television and radio
to benefit if this trend continues in 1994. I also moved a portion of the
fund's investment in regional airlines to major airlines, such as American
Airlines. This company is restructuring its labor agreements and route
schedules to lower costs. Internally generated cost savings, along with
lower oil prices, should improve earnings in 1994. I held onto Mesa
Airlines, a regional airline investment, because it could benefit from
internal route expansion as well as from acquisitions.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC COMPANIES DID YOU LIKE?
A. In addition to Capital Cities/ABC, I liked La Quinta Motor Inns and
Clear Channel Communications. La Quinta is in the middle of a chain-wide
remodeling designed to improve occupancy and room rates. The outlook for
the hotel industry is favorable since demand for hotel rooms should grow
faster than supply for several years. Clear Channel is another potential
beneficiary of improving television and radio advertising prices.
Q. YOU HAVE ABOUT 14% OF THE FUND IN INVESTMENTS OVERSEAS. WHERE IS IT
INVESTED?
A. Most of it is invested in Latin American soft drink bottlers, Latin
American television and radio companies, and Asian television companies.
These companies could experience rapid earnings growth over the next five
years due to growing disposable income and demand for consumer products in
these regions.
Q. IN HINDSIGHT, DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS?
A. Yes. The fund's performance would have been stronger if it had invested
even more in Paramount in the first half of the period. Viacom offered a
significant premium for Paramount, which drove the stock up sharply.
Q. HOW DO YOU THINK THE FUND WILL PERFORM MOVING FORWARD?
A. While I'm comfortable with how the fund is invested, it will be
difficult to outperform last year's strong results. However, the industries
in which the fund is invested seem to have a positive long-term outlook
because world demand for leisure products and services could continue to
rise.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $64,961,336, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $197,028 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $64,764,308.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $172,848,503 and $139,762,869, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $89,656 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $10,699,000 and $3,847,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 86.6%
Mexico 3.7
Canada 2.1
Luxembourg 1.4
Netherland 1.2
Brazil 1.2
Phillipines 1.2
Chile 1.0
Others (individually less than 1%) 1.6
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on June 30, 1986. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Multimedia Portfolio on
June 30, 1986, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $32,668 - a 226.68%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $24,042 over the same period - a 140.42% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Steve DuFour,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Multimedia Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Very well. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total
return of 34.86%, beating the S&P 500, which had a total return of
8.33%.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THESE RESULTS?
A. Most of the fund's gains occurred in the first half of the period.
During this time, investors pushed up the prices of many of the fund's
investments as they rushed to take part in the telecommunications
revolution. This revolution promised to provide multimedia technology to
the home by combining telephone, television, and computer services.
Telecommunication equipment companies that were on the cutting edge of this
technology, such as General Instrument, performed extremely well. In fact,
this stock doubled between February and October of 1993. The fund also
benefited from its stake in companies that were takeover targets, such as
McCaw, Paramount, Tele-Communications, and MacLean Hunter. This growth
ended in late October when the telecommunication market peaked, and many
investors sold their stocks.
Q. HOW HAS THE FUND DONE SINCE OCTOBER?
A. It has underperformed the S&P 500 since then. However, the fund's
entertainment and broadcasting stocks turned in solid results. Disney was
one example of a good buy. Rogers Communications, a Canadian cable,
cellular, and long distance company, also was one of my favorite companies.
That's because the Canadian regulatory environment looked more favorable
than the environment in the United States with regard to cable TV. In
addition, over the last six months I shifted more of the fund's assets into
newspaper, magazine, and publishing stocks.
Q. WHY DID THESE STOCKS LOOK GOOD?
A. As the U.S. economy picked up, companies spent more money on
advertising. This is exactly what happened at Meredith Publishing, which
owns BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS and LADIES HOME JOURNAL. Times Mirror, which
owns THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, and Gannett, one of the country's largest
newspaper companies, both benefited from higher revenues from retailers and
classified advertisers. I focused on publishing because these stocks could
be strong performers over the next few years. I think the fund's top stock,
Houghton Mifflin, will benefit for two reasons: an increasing focus on
upgrading the U.S. educational systems and an increasing demand for
textbooks because a growing number of children (the "baby boomlets") are
starting elementary school. This stock is also well positioned for 1995,
when states such as California and Florida are scheduled to purchase
textbooks.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S NAME CHANGE FROM "BROADCAST AND MEDIA" TO
"MULTIMEDIA"?
A. The name "Broadcast and Media" no longer accurately described the fund's
investments. For example, the word "broadcast" does not reflect the fund's
investments in satellite, cable, wireless, and publishing companies. We
think "Multimedia" more accurately reflects the fund's investments today.
Q. IN HINDSIGHT, DO YOU REGRET ANY OF YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS?
A. Sure. Like most managers of communications funds, I wish I'd lightened
up on telecommunications stocks before they fell last October.
Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHAREHOLDERS CAN EXPECT OVER THE NEXT YEAR?
A. I think the outlook for the fund may be very favorable over the next 12
months. However, I should caution shareholders that the fund might
experience some volatility during this period.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $10,753,788, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $464,982 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized gain on investments of $11,218,770.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $200,835,908 and $179,543,185, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $80,739 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $25,401,000 and $17,822,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 86.9%
Canada 5.9
United Kingdom 3.5
Luxembourg 1.6
Netherlands 1.1
Others (individually less than 1%) 1.0
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $47,290,703. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$1,890,470, of which $3,837,954 related to appreciated investment
securities and $1,947,484 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $2,278,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Retailing Portfolio on
December 16, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $39,440 - a 294.40%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $29,137 over the same period - a 191.37% increase.

RETAILING PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Jeff Feinberg,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Retailing Portfolio
Q. JEFF, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. The fund performed well during a tough year for the retail industry.
Total return was 15.61% for the 12 months ended February 28, 1994, compared
to 8.33% for the S&P 500 during the same period.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND MANAGE TO BEAT THE S&P?
A. In 1993, a strengthening economy and falling interest rates led people
away from "soft" consumer non-durable products like apparel, and toward
"harder" goods like new homes, appliances and autos. I began managing the
fund on February 1, but the previous manager did well by avoiding specialty
apparel retailers - which were among the market laggards - and instead
emphasizing the stocks of growing grocery store chains like Safeway and
Stop & Shop. Some of these stocks got expensive in the fall, and the
fund's stake was reduced. In addition, the fund had a sizable stake in
department stores, many of which were reinventing themselves.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "REINVENTING THEMSELVES?"
A. Last year, the successful department store chains realized that the best
way to improve performance was through store renovations, lower prices and
stringent cost control. Large-scale expansion was out of the question;
there are already too many stores serving too few people. So the only way
to improve profits was to become more efficient while, at the same time,
increasing volume at existing stores.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?
A. Sears is one. Over the last couple of years, the company struggled to
bring its expenses in line and modernize its stores. Through it all, Sears
never lost its customer goodwill; people wanted to shop at a store they
trusted, and wanted Sears to succeed. Sears helped the fund last year, as
did JC Penney, the fund's third largest investment on February 28. Penney's
has cut costs, has been well managed, and has benefited from a successful
line of private-label merchandise. In addition, Dayton Hudson offers the
stability of big department stores like Marshall Fields, but also owns
Target, a well-run chain of discount stores. The stock's low price compared
to other measures like sales and cash flow makes it appear attractive going
forward. The May and Federated Department store chains have also succeeded
in streamlining their operations. The performance of the latter three
stocks was essentially flat over the past six months, which was perhaps the
fund's biggest disappointment. However, I think there's a pent-up consumer
demand for apparel and other small household items, and cost cutting has
left these companies well-positioned to benefit. All three were among the
fund's top ten investments at the end of February.
Q. LOWE'S WAS THE FUND'S LARGEST INVESTMENT OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT
MAKES THE COMPANY SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. Lowe's was an exciting growth story in a year when there weren't many.
The company is opening home improvement stores, mainly in the Southeastern
United States. Lowe's is using the "big box" format made famous by chains
like Home Depot - large, single-destination stores that offer a large
assortment of products at value prices. It's what consumers seem to want,
and it gives the retailer buying power with vendors. The price of Lowe's
stock was up over 50% in the last six months, and I like the company's
business prospects going forward.
Q. YOU MENTIONED THE FUND DID WELL BY SIDESTEPPING SPECIALTY APPAREL
STORES, BUT THE GAP AND ANNTAYLOR WERE AMONG ITS TOP TEN INVESTMENTS AT THE
END OF FEBRUARY. WHY?
A. After last year's weak clothing sales, I believe consumers are ready to
begin replacing worn-out wardrobes. Lately, I've begun emphasizing
specialty retailers that I feel have the right fashions and excellent value
for the price. The Gap and AnnTaylor are two of the companies that fit
those requirements, and I'll be searching for more.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The retail environment remains very competitive, with supply still
exceeding demand. As a result, certain retailers have to slash prices to
clear their inventories, which hurts profit margins. That said, I'm
optimistic about finding the selected retailers who have the right fashions
and offer consumers value for their money. In addition, I'll be looking for
companies that I think can turn their businesses around, while keeping an
eye out for upstart, fast-growing retail chains like Lowe's.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $4,398,779, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $203,898 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized gain on investments of $4,602,677.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $83,876,946 and $131,691,675, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $78,686 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $2,933,000 and $1,492,438,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $37,086,592. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$3,177,926, of which $4,240,287 related to appreciated investment
securities and $1,062,361 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $1,437,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 191.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Air Transportation
Portfolio on December 16, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $21,256 -
a 112.56% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $29,137 over the same period - a 191.37%
increase.

AIR TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Brenda Reed,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Air
Transportation Portfolio
Q. BRENDA, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Very well. The fund had a total return of 27.94% for the 12 months ended
February 28, 1994. That beat the total return of the S&P 500, which was
8.33% during the same period.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THE FUND'S ROBUST PERFORMANCE?
A. In short, the strengthening economy. Over the past year, investors
gravitated away from slumping health care and consumer non-durable stocks
in favor of cyclicals - stocks whose prices tend to move with changes in
the economy. Because air transportation companies are economically
sensitive, many benefited a great deal from this past year's recovery.
Q. DID THE MAJOR U.S. AIRLINES LEAD THE WAY?
A. Not really. Six months ago, the pieces were all in place. Economic
growth meant more people were flying, which boosted demand. In addition,
the airlines seriously began cutting costs. One of the ways they were doing
that was by dropping unprofitable, shorter routes which, in effect, reduced
the supply of flights. Because of these and other factors, the stocks of
United and American performed pretty well through the end of the year. But
there was one nagging problem.
Q. WHAT WAS THAT?
A. Too much competition from low-cost carriers like America West,
Continental "Lite" and Southwest Airlines. These companies offer no-frills
flights at cheap prices. That forces the major airlines to slash ticket
prices, which hurts their profitability. Southwest was among the fund's top
ten investments over the past 12 months, and helped performance. My concern
about the major airlines' ability to maintain or raise prices successfully
led me to reduce the fund's stake over the last few months. Instead, I
turned to the industry's big growth story during the period: the regional
airlines.
Q. WHY WERE THE REGIONALS SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. As the major airlines abandoned secondary routes, they entered into
partnership agreements with regional airlines to pick up the slack. In some
cases, the regionals have even flown their planes under a major's banner.
For example, during a short connecting flight from Salt Lake City to Sun
Valley, you might be sitting on a plane that has a Delta logo on the side,
but really belongs to SkyWest Airlines. It's a win-win situation: the
majors cut costs, and the regionals pick up new business. SkyWest, and to a
lesser extent Atlantic Southeast, boosted the fund's performance over the
last six months. Two more regional airlines, Mesa - the fund's largest
investment on February 28 - and Comair, have solid growth potential and
attractive stock prices relative to other measures like earnings.
Q. WHERE ELSE DID YOU FIND THE WINNERS?
A. Air freight companies - roughly 10% of the fund's investments over the
last six months - have helped a lot. From the end of August through the end
of February, Airborne Freight's stock rose 59% and Federal Express' stock
was up 25%. The improving economy meant these companies were able to
sustain the prices they charged per pound. Plus, both companies have
effectively cut costs.
Q. DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT THE YEAR?
A. Sure. I wish I had maintained my original investment in British Airways
and KLM Airlines (an Amsterdam-based carrier) in the second half of the
year. Both stocks performed very well through last summer, but I felt they
were getting expensive so I reduced the fund's stake. As it turned out,
European cyclical stocks experienced tremendous growth last year, and
investors kept pushing up the prices of British Airways and KLM.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The prices of many air transportation stocks have risen substantially
over past year, and I think it'll be a stock picker's market going forward.
However, there are reasons for optimism. If the U.S. economy can continue
its steady growth, more people could be flying. In addition, I'm hoping
fuel prices remain low, which would only help the airlines' cost cutting
efforts. In the United States, I expect to continue to focus on the
regional airlines; they're currently experiencing the best earnings growth.
Also, I'll look for more opportunities to invest in growing airlines
overseas.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $4,287,702, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $211,291 and a decrease in accumulated

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on June 30, 1986. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

AUTOMOTIVE PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Richard Patton,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Automotive
Portfolio
Q. RICHARD, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Very well. With a total return of 30.45% for the 12 months ended
February 28, 1994, it topped the 8.33% return of the S&P 500.
Q. WHAT WAS THE STORY BEHIND THE FUND'S STRONG RETURNS?
A. U.S. auto makers and their suppliers tend to do well when the economy
improves, and that was certainly the case over the last 12 months. But
there's more to it. Consumers became more confident, and with consumer debt
at its lowest level in years, they could afford to buy. Also, there was
pent up demand; not surprising, when you consider that the average car in
the United States is eight years old. Finally, the dollar weakened against
the Japanese yen. That gave U.S. manufacturers the power to raise prices
and made Japanese auto makers less competitive.
Q. LET'S BEGIN WITH THE BIG THREE. DID YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE AMONG THEM?
A. Chrysler, General Motors and Ford - three of the fund's top five stocks
at the end of the period - all turned in strong performances over the last
six months. But I placed the fund's largest bet on Chrysler, which
benefited from all of the trends I listed earlier. Plus, it had the
freshest product line; Chrysler's new car and truck models arrived just as
sales began to explode. General Motors, on the other hand, will be hitting
a new product cycle soon, which is the main reason I invested the fund more
heavily in GM than in Ford. In addition, expectations seem lower for GM,
because it has trailed the others in restructuring and has a huge pension
liability. It only takes a little positive news, it seems, to make
investors like GM more and more.
Q. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, ABOUT HALF THE FUND WAS INVESTED IN COMPANIES
THAT SUPPLY AUTO AND TRUCK PARTS. WHERE DID YOU FIND THE WINNERS?
A. Consider this: auto manufacturing was up nearly 20% during that period,
and the increase in truck manufacturing by the Big Three was double that of
autos. That hiked the demand for parts, which helped companies like A.O.
Smith. Smith builds frames for light trucks, and its stock has been a
steady performer. Magna and Mascotech were two more examples of parts
companies that did well. Finally, several after market suppliers - which
also fall under the heading of auto and truck parts - boosted the fund's
performance.
Q. WHAT ARE "AFTER MARKET SUPPLIERS?"
A. Companies that manufacture and distribute parts to auto repair shops.
Federal-Mogul, for instance, used to supply the Big Three with parts, but
recently turned to the after market with great success. It now provides
mechanics with critical engine parts. You'll probably only need these parts
once every few years, but your car won't run without them. In addition, I'm
looking for improved performance from Snap-On Tools, which franchises
dealerships that sell tools to mechanics. I've read that the average
mechanic owns $30,000 worth of tools, so you can see the potential in this
business. Snap-On has had court battles with dealers over franchise
arrangements in the past, but I think the company may have corrected the
bulk of those problems.
Q. IT SOUNDS LIKE ALL YOUR INVESTMENTS WERE WINNERS . . .
A. Not quite. Goodyear - the fund's fifth largest investment at the end of
February - was a disappointment. Although the company benefited from
stronger auto demand, earnings weren't as strong as investors had hoped.
But I still like Goodyear's business prospects, and plan to give the stock
time to come around. Ironically, another disappointment had a lot to do
with the fund's success. The fund more than doubled in size over the past
six months, and it was difficult to put all of that new cash to work
quickly. My relatively large cash position was a bit of a drag on
performance.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. I think this auto cycle still has some legs, so I feel pretty good about
the next several months. That said, many auto sector stocks are getting
expensive, and investors are increasingly wondering when the cycle will
slow. I'd like to gradually reduce the fund's investment in businesses
directly tied to U.S. auto production to help limit the downside should a
correction occur. I may do that by searching out attractive stocks of auto
makers and suppliers in Europe and Japan.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $899,674, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $143,621 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $756,053.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $148,982,188 and $78,673,098, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $47,865 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $13,315,000 and $2,522,708,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $207,144,985. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $31,269,066, of which $32,538,380 related to appreciated
investment securities and $1,269,314 related to depreciated investment

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 222.99%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Chemicals Portfolio on
July 29, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $43,649 - a 336.49%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $32,299 over the same period - a 222.99% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Steve Wymer,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Chemicals Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Very well. For the year ended February 28, 1994, it had a total return
of 23.63%, well above the S&P 500's total return of 8.33%.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. A stronger than expected economic upturn. In general, when the economy
improves, chemical stocks pick up, since the demand for chemical products
is tied to almost all areas of the economy. As the U.S. and European
economies improved, investors shifted into chemical stocks and pushed stock
prices higher.
Q. DID YOUR STRATEGY CHANGE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS?
A. I moved some of the fund's investments out of diversified chemical
companies into commodity and selected specialty chemical companies.
Commodity companies produce various chemical products, such as
polyethylene, which is used to make trash bags. Over the last six months,
these companies have begun performing well as worldwide demand and prices
for chemical products have increased. Specialty chemical companies looked
good because they had underperformed the market over the past two years and
were selling at attractive prices.
Q. WHAT COMMODITY CHEMICAL COMPANIES DID YOU BUY?
A. Union Carbide is a good example. This company produces polyethylene and
ethylene glycol, used for polyester fiber and antifreeze. It also has a
specialty chemical unit and a solvents and coatings unit. Since breaking
off from its industrial gas business, Praxair, in the summer of 1992, Union
Carbide has been a solid performer. Over the past year, it cut costs
further than most people expected and improved profitability even when
commodities were not performing well. Now, with commodities looking to pick
up, it could be well positioned to improve its earnings. Another company
was GEON, a spin-off of B.F. Goodrich. GEON focuses on polyvinylchloride
(PVC), which is used to make vinyl siding and pipes and could be one of the
first commodities to do well.
Q. WHAT ABOUT SPECIALTY COMPANIES?
A. Lubrizoil, a petroleum additives company, is a recent addition. The
company raised prices and reduced its investment in non-core areas, such as
health care. Lubrizoil plans to use proceeds from these divestments to buy
back its own stock. Nalco, which makes water treatment chemicals, is also
well positioned to grow over the next year.
Q. YOU HAVE 13.4% OF THE FUND OVERSEAS. WHERE DID YOU INVEST?
A. My largest investment was the Dutch chemical company, Akzo, which sells
products ranging from paint to pharmaceuticals. It was attractive because
it had closed and sold low-earning fiber divisions and focused on the more
profitable coatings and specialty chemical divisions. My second largest
foreign stake was in Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), a diversified
chemical company based out of the U.K. Last June, it split apart its
diversified chemical business from its pharmaceutical and agricultural
businesses. Since then, the chemical business has taken steps to enhance
productivity and increase returns.
Q. AS YOU LOOK BACK OVER THE LAST YEAR, ANY REGRETS?
A. Yes. I wish I'd taken advantage of some short-term trading
opportunities. For example, I wish I'd owned more Dow stock between
November and January, when it grew 23%.
Q. HOW DO YOU THINK THE FUND WILL PERFORM IN 1994?
A. It depends on supply and demand. If the economy continues to improve,
that will help out the demand side. If companies continue to focus their
efforts on restructuring and cost cutting, as opposed to expansion, that
will help out the supply side. Right now, the situation seems encouraging.
However, the supply and demand balance could worsen if the economy drops or
companies start adding production capacity.

Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At the period

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $29,813,945, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $4,255,331 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $25,558,614.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $49,070,182 and $22,402,918, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $27,722 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 86.6%
Netherlands 6.7
United Kingdom 4.3
Others (individually less than 1%) 2.4
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $62,570,868. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $3,834,136, of which $4,655,385 related to appreciated
investment securities and $821,249 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $680,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 YEAR YEARS FUND
CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING 27.45% 127.96% 190.88%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 23.63% 121.12% 182.15%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 156.18%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on September 29, 1986. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 13.51%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Construction and Housing
Portfolio on September 29, 1986, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $28,215 -
a 182.15% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $25,618 over the same period - a 156.18%
increase.

CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Katherine Collins,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Construction and Housing Portfolio
Q. KATHERINE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund's total return for the year ended February 28, 1994
was 27.45%. This was substantially higher than the S& P 500, which had
a return of 8.33% for the same period.
Q. WHAT'S BEHIND THESE NUMBERS?
A. The housing market had a strong year. In general, interest rates stayed
low and consumer confidence improved. As a result, there was an increased
demand for houses, especially single family homes. Also, I heavily weighted
the fund - almost 13% - in cement stocks. Cement factories were at 90% of
their production capacity, allowing cement companies to raise their prices
over the inflation level for the first time in a decade. One of my top
stocks was the Midwestern cement company, Medusa. This company benefited
from the tight supply of cement in the Midwest and Great Lakes region.
Lafarge, a cement and concrete company, also turned in good results because
it increased prices and cut operating costs.
Q. WHAT INDUSTRIES BENEFITED FROM THE UPSWING IN THE HOUSING MARKET?
A. Home builders performed especially well. For example, Pulte, a national
home builder, was up over 50% for the year ended February 28, 1994. I was
also pleased with Centex, a diversified home-building company that produces
materials such as cement and gypsum. It also profited from improved
pricing. A company that benefited from extensive internal restructuring as
well as the upturn in the market was Armstrong, which makes floors,
ceilings, and industrial products. It cut its costs significantly over the
past few years. So, when sales picked up this year, its profits increased
dramatically. In fact, its stock price almost doubled.
Q. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND YOUR TOP STOCK, GENERAL ELECTRIC?
A. GE, which makes a variety of products, including home appliances, was
attractive for several reasons. First, it had a huge cash supply on hand,
which the company could use to make some interesting acquisitions. It also
owns Kidder Peabody, which was up about 20% in the past year. Most
importantly, I was pleased with changes GE made to its culture that
resulted in increased employee commitment and strong earnings improvement
despite a difficult economic environment.
Q. IN FEBRUARY, THE FEDERAL RESERVE INCREASED SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES.
HAS THAT AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. Yes. The fund was down about 2% after the Fed's decision. However, after
that it leveled off and slightly outperformed the S&P 500. Rising
interest rates increase concerns about the affordability of housing, as
well as concerns about the profitability of some companies' mortgage
banking operations. Home builders were the hardest hit. For example, during
the month of February, Pulte was down 18% and Centex dropped 26%.
Q. DO YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS?
A. Not any major ones. However, I wish I'd invested more heavily in
companies like Armstrong - up 87% this year. I also wish I'd bought more
stock in Shaw Industries, the largest U.S. carpet producer. It had a
volatile year, but from its low point to its high point, it grew about 65%.
Q. HOW DO YOU THINK THE SECTOR AND THE FUND LOOK GOING FORWARD?
A. As we discussed, the overall housing environment looks good, and I
expect the demand for housing could continue to rise in 1994. This should
be helped by an increase in construction of multifamily housing, like
apartment buildings, which have been depressed. Plus, it looks like the
commercial sector might pick up, something that was unthinkable several
years ago. In terms of the fund, I believe my top 10 stocks are well
positioned to take advantage of the construction market if it continues to
improve. Going forward, I'm keeping my eye on furniture and appliance
companies, such as the furniture company Leggett & Platt, which could
continue to benefit from a strong new housing market. In addition, they're
likely to be buoyed by last year's refinancings, which provided cash
savings to homeowners.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $1,160,262, an increase in
undistributed net investment income of $21,031 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $1,181,293.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $52,217,739 and $12,438,943, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $21,215 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $74,113,734. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$10,892,685, of which $12,388,214 related to appreciated investment
securities and $1,495,529 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $329,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 1.87% 24.62%
S&P 500 8.33% 66.19%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund started on
June 29, 1989. You can compare these figures to the performance of the
S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark
includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 1.87% 4.82%
S&P 500 8.33% 11.48%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Environmental Services
Portfolio on June 29, 1989, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $12,462 -
a 24.62% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $16,619 over the same period - a 66.19% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Philip Barton,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select
Environmental Services Portfolio
Q. PIP, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well, considering the terrible performance of the industry during
1993. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
5.02%, underperforming the S&P 500, which had a total return of 8.33%.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE LAG THE INDEX?
A. The S&P Pollution Control index, which measures environmental
services stocks, was the worst performing of all the S&P indexes, down
30.2%. That means that the whole sector had a tough year. The fund's return
was especially weak for the first six months of the year.
Q. YOU TOOK OVER AS FUND MANAGER IN AUGUST. HAVE YOU CHANGED THE FUND'S
STRATEGY?
A. Yes, dramatically. I dropped WMX, the dominant integrated waste
management company, from the fund. Before August, WMX and its publicly
traded divisions made up 17% of the fund's portfolio. I sold it because I
saw a number of potential problems resulting from poor management. This
turned out to be a good move. WMX's price dropped by 31% between August,
when I sold it, and the end of this period. Instead, I focused on
traditional companies with high growth potential and what I call "new
age"companies. Since I've made these changes, the fund has beaten the
S&P 500 every month through the end of February.
Q. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "NEW AGE" COMPANIES?
A. New age companies develop advanced technologies and instruments to solve
long-standing environmental issues. They also look for solutions to newer
environmental problems, such as noise pollution. For example, my number one
investment is Thermedics, a company that produces quality control products
for food producers and beverage bottlers. This company uses modern
technology to check for contamination in carbonated beverages. Since the
benzene contamination incident nearly destroyed Perrier, bottlers are
increasingly concerned about protecting their reputation for quality and
purity. This is especially important in the third world, where soda bottles
are often reused, sometimes to transport gasoline. The fund's second
largest investment is Thermo Electron, an innovative energy, environmental,
and medical company that has turned in a great performance this year.
Q. WHAT MORE TRADITIONAL COMPANIES DO YOU HAVE A STAKE IN?
A. I like environmental remediation, consulting, and engineering firms, and
secondary market waste collection companies, smaller companies that work
within a specific region or regions. United Waste Systems, a secondary
waste collection company that does business primarily in Michigan's Upper
Peninsula, was a good performer for the fund. I bought this company when
its stock fell in November. Since then, United Waste's price has increased
by 40%. Another attractive traditional company was OHM, which disposes of
hazardous waste. When business slowed over the last few years, it sold off
its non-essential holdings, such as testing labs it rarely used. This
increased the company's profitability. The company also has a $1.6 billion
backlog of awards to clean Department of Defense and Department of Energy
facilities. This will be an extremely attractive contract because many of
the facilities haven't complied with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
requirements, and the cost to rid these bases of toxic waste will be high.
Q. YOUR FOREIGN INVESTMENTS MAKE UP ABOUT 15% OF THE FUND. WHERE ARE YOU
INVESTING?
A. My largest foreign investment was in Attwoods PLC, a waste collection
company in the U.K. Last year, Attwoods dropped a poorly performing
recycling business it owned, and it's now much better positioned to
increase its operating income going forward. Another reason the company
looked good is that, after a failed merger with Laidlaw, it may be ripe for
a takeover by another company.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND GOING FORWARD?
A. I'm generally optimistic. I believe the companies I've invested in have
growth potential and will continue to receive broader investor attention.
In addition, some of them may benefit from mergers due to industry
consolidation. Since the sector is out of favor with investors and stocks
are priced low right now, I think there might be a real opportunity for
price appreciation over the next few years.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $492,349, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $1,280,096 and an increase in
accumulated net realized loss on investments of $1,772,445.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $105,614,637 and $102,839,401, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $84,034 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $2,951,000 and $1,817,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 84.8%
United Kingdom 9.2
Netherlands 3.7
Canada 2.3
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $63,475,313. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$2,599,310, of which $6,051,468 related to appreciated investment
securities and $3,452,158 related to depreciated investment securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $289,000 which will expire on February 28, 2001.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 35.87% 104.46% 113.19%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 156.18%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on September 29, 1986. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 13.51%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same period.
Q. WAS IT A STRAIGHT ONE-WAY RIDE UP?
A. It usually isn't and it wasn't during the past year either. In the first
half the fund enjoyed strong returns as new equipment demand, reduced
product inventories and cost-cutting boosted earnings for many agricultural
and construction equipment firms. But by late last year, many of these
companies' stock prices had gotten ahead of themselves, and it became more
difficult to find good values. In the beginning of 1994, investors lost
faith in the group's ability to maintain earnings growth, and there was a
sell-off. At that point, both the sector and the fund dropped.
Q. WERE THERE ANY STOCKS THAT DID PARTICULARLY WELL THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
PERIOD?
A. Construction equipment manufacturer Caterpillar, the fund's largest
investment making up 10.8% on February 28, 1994, withstood most of the
sector's ups and downs. That's in part because the company posted
significantly higher profits without huge gains in revenues. It did that by
maintaining relatively low costs. Despite its recent strong gains, I think
Caterpillar has the potential to move higher. About half of the company's
sales comes from abroad, and it has recently been helped by orders from the
relatively untapped markets of the former Soviet Union and China. Finning,
one of the fund's top investments, also did well as the demand for
earth-moving equipment improved both in Canada and Britain.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT COMPANIES?
A. They, too, did well for a good part of the period and the fund enjoyed
strong gains from its investments in companies like Deere and Tenneco. But
recently I pared back the fund's stake in some of these companies because I
thought their stock prices were beginning to reflect peak levels of
production. I used some of the proceeds to buy stocks in other industries
that seemed more attractively priced.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?
A. I focused on companies that could be helped by a U.S. economic recovery
like Joy Technologies, a manufacturer of coal mining machinery and NACCO, a
lift truck company. Both of these companies could benefit if global
economic recovery translates into stronger-than-expected sales of their
products.
Q. SOME OF THE FUND'S TOP INVESTMENTS WERE COMPUTER AND RELATED COMPANIES.
WHAT'S THE ATTRACTION THERE?
A. Companies like Digital Equipment, IBM and Compaq Computer were
attractive because I thought they, too, could be helped by a stronger U.S.
economy. Much of American business is investing in technology as a means of
improving productivity. That trend helped fuel growth for some
computer-related companies. What's more, many technology companies are
aggressively cutting costs, which in turn seems to have helped their
profitability. However, some of these companies didn't improve as quickly
as I thought they would and proved to be disappointing.
Q. WERE THERE OTHER DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. The flow of money into the fund was uneven, and at times I had more cash
in the fund than I would have liked. At the end of the period, about 17% of
the fund was in cash. If the amount of money coming into the fund had been
slower, and the fund's cash level was down to under 10% of investments, the
fund may have done better.
Q. AFTER COMING OFF SUCH A STRONG YEAR, WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE SECTOR AND THE
FUND IN 1994?
A. I think it will be more difficult for both the sector and the fund to
enjoy the same substantial gains we saw in 1993. Lately it's been harder to
find companies that seem to be a good value. But I'll continue to focus on
finding companies that are inexpensive relative to their value, and could
benefit from continued cost-cutting and increased overseas sales.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $4,361,142, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $79,974 and an increase in accumulated
net realized loss on investments of $4,441,116.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $179,127,105 and $53,192,950, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $60,492 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $1,736,000 and $1,736,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.8% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $173,883,615. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $13,889,213, of which $15,176,944 related to appreciated
investment securities and $1,287,731 related to depreciated investment
securities.
On October 26, 1990, the fund acquired substantially all of the assets of
Automation and Machinery Portfolio in a tax-free exchange for shares of
Industrial Technology Portfolio. Automation and Machinery Portfolio has a
capital loss carryover of approximately $106,000 available to offset future
capital gains in Industrial Technology Portfolio, to the extent provided by
regulations.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 156.18%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on September 29, 1986. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Industrial Materials
Portfolio on September 29, 1986, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $22,254 -
a 122.54% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $25,618 over the same period - a 156.18%
increase.

INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Louis Salemy,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Industrial Materials Portfolio
Q. LOUIS, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. It was a good year for both the sector and the fund. For the year ended
February 28, 1994, the fund returned 24.66%. That outpaced the S&P 500,
which returned 8.33% for the same period.
Q. HOW DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. Most industrial materials stocks are cyclical, meaning they tend to do
well during periods of economic recovery - which is exactly what happened
over the past 12 months. With the economy heating up, stock prices in this
group rose from low levels. Among the fund's strongest performers were
railroads, which could enjoy stronger revenues as more raw materials and
goods are shipped over the next year. At the same time, many rails
aggressively cut costs, which added to their profitability. Railroad
stocks, like CSX, accounted for 7.4% of the fund's investments at the end
of February.
Q. DID ANY OTHER INDUSTRIES PERFORM AS WELL?
A. For part of the period, steel companies did well. Late last year, I had
as much as one-quarter of the fund in steel stocks; by January, their
prices had skyrocketed. In February, I thought the business prospects for
steel companies started to look weak, so I sold most of the fund's steel
investments and used the proceeds to buy more chemical companies like Dow
Chemical, DuPont and Imperial Chemicals - which were about 10% of the
fund's investments on February 28. Right now, there is an overcapacity of
chemical production in Europe, meaning production is outpacing demand. As
production capacity is reduced and the economy there recovers, chemical
prices could rise, helping the producers.
Q. RECENTLY THERE WAS A CORRECTION IN MANY CYCLICAL STOCKS. DID THAT AFFECT
YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Yes, it forced me to raise the amount of cash in the fund up to 32% at
the end of February. That's mainly because I was having difficulty, even
before the correction, finding stocks that seemed reasonably priced. Even
so, the fund had a strong year. In hindsight, the fund might have done even
better if I had kept it fully invested.
Q. ARE YOU FINDING STOCKS THAT NOW SEEM MORE APPEALING FROM A PRICE
STANDPOINT?
A. Some. The liner board industry is currently experiencing the best of
both worlds, since inventories are falling and shipments are rising. Many
liner board companies, like Stone Container, have already started to see
improved profits from this favorable supply and demand situation. I've also
recently added to the fund's stake in oils. Oil prices are extremely low
right now, and the stocks are out of favor with investors. An increase in
demand, or a decrease in supply, could send oil stocks higher. There's
been a depletion of the world's oil supply lately, and an economic recovery
in Europe could mean increased demand at a time when supply is low. If that
happens, companies like British Petroleum, the fund's largest investment at
the end of February, could benefit.
Q. INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS STOCKS HAVE RISEN SHARPLY OVER THE PAST YEAR. ISN'T
THE GAME ALMOST OVER?
A. For some companies it might be, while for others it's just beginning.
There's probably room for these stocks as a whole to rise, but the
potential gains will most likely be smaller and more selective. My view of
the U.S. economy is that it could slow from the fourth quarter, but
continue to expand at a more modest pace. A European recovery, on the other
hand, probably won't start to pick up steam until 1995. I'll focus on
opportunities that can benefit from further improvements both here and in
Europe.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect a decrease in paid in capital of $261,217, a decrease in
accumulated net investment loss of $233,906 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized loss on investments of $27,311.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $137,177,303 and $55,557,878, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $33,380 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $9,484,725 and $9,649,200, respectively (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 87.4%
United Kingdom 11.3
Netherlands 1.0
Others (individually less than 1%) 0.3
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $162,834,720. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $120,674, of which $2,926,216 related to appreciated investment
securities and $2,805,542 related to depreciated investment securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $11,257,000 of which $1,664,000, $8,694,000, $141,000 and
$758,000 will expire on February 28, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999,
respectively.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on June 30, 1986. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Paper and Forest Products
Portfolio on June 30, 1986, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $22,199 -
a 121.99% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $24,402 over the same period - a 140.42%
increase.

PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Scott Offen,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Paper and Forest Products Portfolio
Q. SCOTT, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. It had a good year. The fund's total return for the year ended February
28, 1994 was 22.03%. This was well above the S&P 500, which had a total
annual return of 8.33%.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THESE SOLID RESULTS?
A. The fund performed well for three reasons. First, paper stocks rebounded
in the fourth quarter, after hitting their lowest price for the year in
October. During this period, the fund's paper stocks climbed between 10%
and 50%, resulting in strong gains. I should note that cyclical stocks,
like paper, often do well between November and April, when investors'
economic outlook is brighter. Cyclical stocks are stocks that tend to
increase in value as the economy improves or decrease in value when the
economy performs poorly. The second reason the fund performed well is that
I had about 5% invested in gypsum stocks, such as National Gypsum. These
companies were up 40% to 50% over the past year as demand for this building
material increased. Finally, the fund performed well because its foreign
investments turned in some good results.
Q. AT THE END OF FEBRUARY, YOU HAD 25% OF THE FUND OVERSEAS. WHAT FOREIGN
STOCKS DID YOU OWN?
A. Most of my international investments were in Scandinavian paper
companies. I had large stakes in Repola and Metsa Serla, Finnish
coated-paper companies that rely heavily on exports to the United States.
Coated paper is used for magazines, catalogues, and company annual reports.
These companies were profitable partly because the Finnish government
devalued its currency, making it worth less than the currencies of other
countries. As a result of this devaluation, the company's exports became
less expensive in other countries and thus more competitive. The fund's
Finnish paper companies also did well because they dramatically cut their
labor costs and their number of employees. As a result, they decreased
their cost for raw materials, like fiber. Swedish companies, such as Stora
Kopparbergs, also performed well. Like Finnish companies, Swedish companies
benefited from a devalued currency and lower costs for labor and raw
materials.
Q. YOU MENTIONED COATED PAPER. HOW MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF PAPER ARE THERE?
A. As I look at it, there are six major grades of paper: lumber, liner
board, newsprint, pulp, coated paper, and uncoated white paper. In the
past, all the grades of paper usually increased or decreased in price at
the same time. However, over the past year, some grades dramatically
outperformed others. I thought Lumber looked the best because it was the
biggest beneficiary of the upswing in the housing market in the late fall.
Weyerhaeuser, the largest private owner of forest land in the United
States, had a great year. Another grade that looked good was liner board,
used for building walls and constructing corrugated boxes. My top stock,
Stone Container, which focused almost exclusively on liner board, was a
standout. Temple-Inland, a company that was big in lumber and liner board,
also performed well.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER GRADES OF PAPER?
A. In 1994, the newsprint industry started to pick up, and I think it looks
pretty good going forward. Demand for newsprint could grow slowly, and we
may see some decline in capacity, which could raise prices. The wild card
is increased capacity in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. If
capacity increases in these overseas markets, newsprint prices may not
increase. Another grade of paper, pulp, did well the first two months of
1994, but I don't expect any dramatic increases or decreases going forward.
In the United States, coated and uncoated white paper had a tough year
because cheap imports flooded the market.
Q. SINCE YOU TOOK OVER THE FUND IN OCTOBER, HAVE YOU CHANGED ITS STRATEGY?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I don't think there's been any notable shift in strategy. As for the
sector's outlook, I think it's a mixed bag. As I noted earlier, we're
beginning to see some grades of paper do very well. However, since paper
stocks are cyclicals, I think the real deciding factor is how well the
economy performs over the next 12 months.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $20,720,289, a decrease in undistributed
net investment income of $709,366 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized gain on investments of $20,010,923.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $87,988,288 and $47,095,105, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $47,840 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

TRANSPORTATION 27.47% 136.51% 206.84%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 23.65% 129.42% 197.64%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 156.18%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on September 29, 1986. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Transportation Portfolio
on September 29, 1986 when the fund started and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $29,764 - a 197.64%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $25,618 over the same period - a 156.18% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Beso Sikharulidze,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select
Transportation Portfolio
Q. BESO, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund had a strong year. Its total return for the 12 months ended
February 28, 1994 was 27.47%. The S&P 500 returned 8.33% during the
same period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND DO SO WELL, COMPARED TO THE S&P?
A. Broadly speaking, the strengthening economy jump started many
transportation stocks, which tend to rise and fall with economic cycles.
The fund kept about a 30% stake in railroad stocks over the past six
months, which boosted performance. Railroad companies benefited from the
improving economy, but the bigger story was their effective cost cutting,
which improved profitability.
Q. ANY EXAMPLES?
A. The stocks of Burlington Northern, CSX, Illinois Central, and Santa Fe
Pacific were up between 10 and 20% from the end of August through the end
of February. Even if rail demand dips a bit in the next six months, trimmed
expenses could lead to fatter profits. That's why all four of these stocks
were still among the fund's top ten investments on February 28.
Q. DIDN'T THE IMPROVING ECONOMY HELP THE AIRLINES AS WELL?
A. Not as much as you might think. The supply and demand story looks
positive: people are flying more often, which has increased demand, and the
major airlines have reduced the supply by abandoning their less profitable
routes. The problem is, the big airlines are still weighted down so heavily
on the cost side that it may take a while to see the benefits. That's why
I've reduced the fund's investment in the major carriers, focusing instead
on regional airlines.
Q. WHAT MAKES THE REGIONALS SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. Because it's no longer cost-effective for the major airlines to handle
all of the shorter routes, the regional airlines are filling the need. That
has meant solid growth for these companies. In addition, the regionals
operate with much lower expenses than the majors. Comair and Mesa were the
fund's two largest regional airline investments on February 28.
Unfortunately, Comair has been a disappointment so far. Fears that
Continental would compete directly with Comair for regional business drove
down the price of the stock. But I think investors overreacted, and I like
Comair's prospects going forward. Mesa Airlines' stock also has been flat
over the past few months, but the company is launching new routes and
acquiring some profitable side businesses.
Q. THE BIG THREE AUTO MAKERS HAVE BEEN BIG PERFORMERS ON WALL STREET, YET
NONE APPEARS IN THE FUND'S TOP TEN INVESTMENTS. WHY?
A. Surging consumer demand and effective cost cutting boosted profits and
stock performance at Chrysler, Ford and General Motors. However, I had
reservations about increasing the fund's limited investment in auto stocks
when I began managing the fund in November. Prices had already risen
substantially during the year, and I wondered how much gas these stocks had
left. I did some investing in Chrysler and Ford, which performed well. But
in hindsight, not participating more heavily in the run-up in auto stocks
was my biggest disappointment over the last 12 months. The fund did,
however, take advantage of increasing auto sales by investing in parts
suppliers. For example, A.O. Smith's stock rose 40% over the last six
months.
Q. DID YOU MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES TO THE FUND?
A. I increased its stake in trucking companies, specifically truckload
carriers that regularly haul loads of 10,000 pounds or more. This industry
is consolidating: the big companies appear to be getting stronger, and many
of the weak ones are going out of business. Stocks like Swift and Werner
have already helped the fund; both were sizable investments at the end of
February.
Q. CAN THE FUND KEEP UP THIS PACE?
A. I think it'll be more difficult in the next six months. Many of 1993's
top performing transportation stocks - I'm thinking specifically of the
railroads - are getting expensive. I probably won't increase my investment
in these companies, but I don't plan to sell them just yet either. Going
forward, I'll have an eye out for new opportunities, perhaps overseas. I
recently invested in Fiat and BMW, which could benefit from an economic
recovery in Europe. I'm also watching shipping companies very closely. If I
see demand improve for their services, it might be time to invest.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $756,841, a decrease in accumulated net
investment loss of $57,304 and a decrease in accumulated net realized gain
on investments of $814,145.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $12,237,884 and $11,059,303, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,066 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 81.3%
Japan 3.8
Germany 3.1
Netherlands 3.0
Canada 2.9
Italy 1.6
France 1.0
Australia 1.0
Others (individually less than 1%) 2.3
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $11,081,773. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$2,106,719, of which $2,236,451 related to appreciated investment
securities and $129,732 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $299,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 222.99%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Brokerage and Investment
Management Portfolio on July 29, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3%
sales charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to
$23,414 - a 134.14% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the
S&P 500, which would have grown to $32,299 over the same period - a
222.99% increase.

BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Arieh Coll,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Brokerage and Investment
Management Portfolio
Q. ARIEH, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
35.87%. That beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND DO SO WELL?
A. For much of the period, the fund was invested primarily in U.S. brokers,
which were operating in a nearly ideal environment for that group. Falling
interest rates encouraged investors to put more money into stocks, bonds
and other long-term financial products, and trading volume soared. Low
interest rates and high stock prices led to a boom in the new issuance of
corporate securities. At that time, the fund's emphasis on U.S. brokers
helped its performance. But in October, I started to pare back the fund's
stake in some of the names that had been strong performers.
Q. WHAT CHANGED?
A. At that point I felt that the group's earnings could decline in 1994,
and that U.S. brokerage stock prices were fairly valued. I also believed
U.S. brokers wouldn't see much, if any, growth in commission revenues and
at the same time their expenses might rise. When revenues drop and expenses
rise, it's difficult for a company to have higher earnings. What's more,
periods of higher interest rates historically tend to hurt brokers.
Q. SO WHERE HAVE YOU TURNED INSTEAD?
A. Mostly to Japan and Canada. The Japanese stock market peaked in
1989-1990. Profits for brokers have been down about 90% since then, and
stock prices were shellshocked and appeared inexpensive. What's more, I
have compared the Japanese situation in 1992-1993 to that of the United
States in 1990. There are three similarities: first, a stock market
recovering after a slump; second, depressed trading volume; third, minimal
profits for brokerage firms. To me, that looks like the stock market could
pick up and it may signal that Japan could be close to coming out of its
recession. So far, the Japanese market has done well in 1994, trading
volume has increased, and so have broker revenues. That, in turn, helped
Japanese brokers, including some of the fund's largest investments, such as
Nomura, Nikko and Daiwa.
Q. WHAT'S THE STORY WITH CANADIAN BROKERS?
A. Canada is a faster-growth version of the U.S. mutual fund story. Mutual
funds there have a low rate of penetration, far less than in the United
States. The Canadian mutual fund industry has shown impressive growth over
the past five years. Some of the fund's largest investments - Midland
Walwyn, Mackenzie Financial and Trimark Financial - are examples of
companies that could benefit from further growth in this industry.
Q. LOOKING BACK, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REGRET?
A. I overstayed my welcome in Southeast Asian stocks. I had invested the
fund in a number of brokers in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. They did
very well in December 1993, but gave back some of their gains in early
1994. Knowing what I know now, I wish I had pared back the fund's stake in
them earlier. The fund continues to own some of the Hong Kong brokers, like
Peregrine Investments and Sun Hung Kai. Hong Kong has a rapidly-growing
economy, which benefits from its proximity to China. Also, trading volume
could continue to increase if more money flows into that market.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR STRATEGY FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. I'll probably continue to keep a significant amount of the fund invested
overseas for the time being. Until U.S. brokerage stocks come down
significantly, I'll probably avoid the group. We had a 20% correction in
the U.S. brokerage group from October 1993 through the end of February. But
I think the stocks are still unattractive and I think the companies could
see a decline in earnings in 1994.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $10,852,935, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $399,839 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $10,453,096.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $194,106,502 and $172,745,490, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $96,223 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $12,531,000 and $4,342,143,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
Japan 30.9%
Canada 20.1
United Kingdom 17.1
Hong Kong 11.2
Singapore 6.0
Thailand 5.3
United States 4.2
Malaysia 3.6

PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Stephen Binder,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Financial Services Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The total return for the year ended February 28, 1994 was 10.85%. That
beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same period. Most of the
growth occurred during the first six months of the fund's fiscal year.
Since then, gains and losses, while occasionally sharp, have tended to
cancel each other out.
Q. WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR?
A. Interest rates were obviously a big factor. Banks and thrifts, 61.4% of
the fund, have profited in recent years from the wide spread between the
federal funds rate, or what banks charge each other for overnight loans,
and the prime rate, the benchmark for loans. The wider the spread, the
less banks have to pay for funds and the more they can earn making loans.
The spread stayed wide by historical standards until October, when interest
rates bottomed. Then, the Federal Reserve raised short-term rates in
February and the spread narrowed further. The perception, at least, is that
bank profit margins will suffer as a result. And that puts downward
pressure on their stocks. It was a big reason the fund fell back 3.63% in
the final month of the fiscal year.
Q. ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT REALITY MAY DIFFER FROM PERCEPTION?
A. It can, depending on the bank and what else it has going for it.
Domestic loan growth is critical, but it's not the only factor. Citicorp,
for example, can point to revenue growth overseas in emerging markets and a
strong commitment to cutting costs at home. It was up nearly 20% in January
alone, before sliding back somewhat in February. Bank of New York, on the
other hand, has found ways to increase its fee income from securities
processing and trust-related services. It also has a growing low-price
credit card business. Together, these two stocks accounted for almost
one-fifth of the fund's total investments at the end of February.
Q. SIX MONTHS AGO, THE FUND WAS MOVING INCREASINGLY INTO FOREIGN STOCKS. IS
THAT TREND STILL EVIDENT?
A. No, foreign stocks were a specialty of the previous fund manager. Since
I took over in November, I've been slowly weeding out some of the
unfamiliar foreign names and replacing them with stocks I follow more
closely: regional banks like State Street Boston, Signet and Crestar
Financial; and a handful of smaller thrifts like Collective BanCorp,
Astoria Financial and Lakeview Savings Bank. The savings and loans have
been cheaper on the whole than banks, and they keep getting taken over. You
may as well be where lightning strikes.
Q. WHY DOES THE FUND HAVE SUCH A LARGE STAKE IN MORTGAGE AGENCY STOCKS?
A. Both the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National
Mortgage Association have been steady double-digit growers, and yet they
looked cheap compared to most other financial stocks. Moreover, as mortgage
refinancings subside, they won't have to worry so much about losing fees
derived from servicing existing mortgages. That makes them potentially more
attractive, not less, as long as interest rates continue rising only
gradually in the months ahead.
Q. YOU'VE BEEN AVOIDING INSURANCE STOCKS LATELY. WHY?
A. Insurance companies, particularly the property and casualty ones, are
loaded with capital. That's despite recent disasters like Hurricane Andrew
and the Los Angeles earthquake. Whenever there's too much capital chasing
too few deals, pricing suffers, and that's pretty much the story throughout
the industry. Until pricing improves - and I see no evidence of that
happening soon - I'll continue to deemphasize insurance stocks.
Q. WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. I'm guardedly optimistic, despite the upward trend in interest rates.
Most financial institutions are in better shape today than they've been for
some time, with ample capital reserves, fewer bad loans, and better control
over costs. And since many of the stocks were jolted by the uptick in
rates, they look cheap again by historical standards. The question is, can
they deliver projected earnings? That will depend in large part on loan
growth, which probably needs to be in the double-digit range to offset the
effect of narrower spreads.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $74,143,155, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $7,125,591 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $67,017,564.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $147,511,233 and $246,203,193, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $67,939 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $10,317,000 and $3,288,183,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 83.3%
Australia 6.4
Sweden 3.1
Spain 2.9
United Kingdom 1.6
France 1.0
Others (individually less than 1%) 1.7
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $104,190,008. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $12,000,170, of which $14,401,670 related to appreciated
investment securities and $2,401,500 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $14,691,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 191.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

HOME FINANCE PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
David Ellison,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Home
Finance Portfolio
Q. DAVID, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Quite well. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund returned
19.61%. That outpaced the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THOSE NUMBERS?
A. Over the past year, it was nearly the best of all possible worlds for
home finance companies. First, there was an industry-wide decline in
problem loans. Second, there was a fairly large and stable interest rate
spread in the difference in the companies' costs of gathering money and the
rates at which they lend. Finally, there was a feeling that takeover
activity in this sector would heat up. As it turned out, there was only
modest activity, but the takeover sentiment was enough to send the stock
prices higher. Those factors translated into the third year of increased
earnings for home finance companies. Plus the fund invested in some of the
top performers in the sector.
Q. WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES?
A. I focused the fund on savings and loans - 56.4% of the fund's total
investments at the end of February - that were selling at cheap prices
compared to their worth, but had attractive earnings growth potential. One
strong performer was New York-based Crossland Savings. The company was
attractively priced, its troubled loans continued to decline, and there was
a strong management team in place. A number of special situations also
helped performance. FirstFed Michigan, the fund's third largest investment
at the end of the period, benefited when a large amount of its high-cost
debt matured, and was refinanced at a lower cost.
Q. SOME OF THE FUND'S LARGEST INVESTMENTS WERE BANKS. WHAT WAS ATTRACTIVE
ABOUT THEM?
A. Many banks - which were 13.5% of the fund's investments on February 28 -
benefited from the interest rate spread. Citicorp - the fund's
second-largest investment at the end of the period - was also helped by a
reduction in problem loans. Six months ago, Citicorp's stock price was $33;
by the end of February it had risen to $41.50.
Q. DID ALL OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS BENEFIT FROM THESE TRENDS?
A. No - there are always some laggards. In this case, California thrifts
didn't do as well as I'd expected. The turnaround in the state's economy
was slower than I anticipated, and earnings were disappointing. Recently,
I've started to pare back the fund's investments in some of those thrifts.
In addition, the fund may have done better if it had been fully invested.
But when the Federal Reserve raised interest rates in February, I thought
it prudent to keep a higher than usual amount in cash, until the
uncertainty settled out. What's more, it has become more difficult to find
stocks I like at attractive prices.
Q. NOW THAT INTEREST RATES HAVE RISEN, WHAT'S AHEAD FOR HOME FINANCE
COMPANIES?
A. If interest rates continue to rise, banks, savings and loans and thrifts
could have the wind in their faces, rather than at their backs as they have
over the past year. Rising rates will mean that interest spreads will start
to shrink, so companies will have to find other ways to improve earnings.
One way is to cut costs. Another is to increase the amount of loans given.
If the economy improves, demand for homes, cars, boats and other consumer
goods could increase, which could in turn push up loan demand.
Q. SO WHAT'S AHEAD FOR THE FUND?
A. Given that this is a cyclical industry coming off three very strong
years, I think it's more realistic to expect lower returns over the next
several months. Over the long-term - maybe by 1995 - I think prospects are
brighter. I believe that we'll see more savers in the next ten years than
we saw in the previous ten. That means there would be more money flowing
into savings and investments. In turn, that could translate into a good
supply of money to lend and keep the home finance companies' efforts to
increase loans on track.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $5,728,746, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $154,576 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $5,574,170.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $184,019,050 and $316,305,013, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $145,280 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $11,576,000 and $4,157,382,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $194,101,616. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $18,472,721, of which $22,658,062 related to appreciated
investment securities and $4,185,341 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $21,775,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Insurance Portfolio on
December 16, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $23,942 - a 139.42%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $29,137 over the same period - a 191.37% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Robert Chow,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Insurance Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND DO, BOB?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
- -1.24%. That lagged the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE NEGATIVE PERFORMANCE?
A. Insurance stocks had a tough year, and so did the fund. In early 1993,
the group had risen to very high levels. At that time, many investors
assumed that the losses stemming from 1992's Hurricane Andrew would allow
the insurance companies to finally raise premium prices. They also expected
falling interest rates to help the insurance companies' investment pools,
made up primarily of bonds. That's because historically when interest rates
fall, bond prices rise. But by the fall of 1993, there was a realization
that insurance premiums would stay at their current levels. In addition,
interest rates had begun to rise. So insurance stocks started to fall, and
have continued to since.
Q. HOW DID THESE FACTORS AFFECT YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Unfortunately, there was little I could do to protect the fund from the
decline. By late summer, I had anticipated that the insurance group would
eventually fall, so I focused on stocks that hadn't been bid up to
extremely high levels. That was because I felt that once they did fall, the
more reasonably-priced stocks would fall less. But even that strategy
couldn't insulate the fund from a broad-based downdraft in the industry.
Many insurance stocks had fallen to half their summer peak, and the stocks
hit the least were off by about 20%.
Q. WASN'T KEEPING PART OF THE FUND IN CASH AN OPTION?
A. Yes, but not one I was willing to use. While it was tempting not to
invest and just hold some of the fund in cash, in my view that's too big of
a timing risk. Huge losses stemming from a natural disaster might mean that
the insurance industry could finally pass higher premiums on to their
customers. But, obviously, there's no way to predict when that might occur.
Q. WHAT WERE SOME EXAMPLES OF THE STOCKS YOU CHOSE?
A. I mainly focused on property and casualty insurers, since I felt that
stock prices of many life insurers were too high. Aetna - the fund's
largest investment at the end of February - is going through a
restructuring now, which should help earnings in the future. General Re's
stock price is down to historically low levels, and could be helped by an
increase in its European operation. Allied Group, a small midwestern
insurer, was also attractive because its stock was selling at a low price
relative to earnings, and it looked like a good value. I also invested in
St. Paul Companies. Although its main business is medical malpractice, it
has a 74% interest in John Nuveen, a financial services firm. While I still
mostly favor these companies, they all suffered in the second half of the
period.
Q. DO YOU SEE A TURNAROUND FOR THE GROUP?
A. Because they're at such low levels, I expect insurance stocks to do a
little better over the next six months. But over the long term, I'm still
not that optimistic yet. The industry suffers from over-capacity - too many
insurers providing services to too few individuals and businesses. It's
going to be very difficult for insurers over the next couple of years.
Q. WHAT WOULD HAVE TO OCCUR FOR YOU TO BECOME MORE POSITIVE ON INSURANCE
STOCKS?
A. To turn the corner, insurers need to be able to raise premium prices.
But unless we see a huge loss coming from their bond investments, or losses
stemming from payouts on natural disasters, there's probably little room
for insurance premiums to rise. There's such a large capacity of insurers
that even fairly large losses to the industry can't be passed on in the
form of higher premium prices. For instance, the recent Los Angeles
earthquake, which is expected to cost the insurance industry $4 or $5
billion, wasn't a large enough loss to boost premiums. My estimation is
that the industry would have to experience a loss in the $50 billion range
for the group to turn. Until that happens, I'll continue to focus on
finding companies that are selling at low prices relative to earnings,
making them good values.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
a decrease in paid in capital of $136,123, a decrease in accumulated net
investment loss of $31,925 and an increase in accumulated net realized gain
on investments of $104,198.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $20,804,072 and $28,064,387, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $18,400 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $1,493,000 and $1,149,600,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.8% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $18,597,622. Net unrealized depreciation aggregated
$384,050, of which $692,636 related to appreciated investment securities
and $1,076,686 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $451,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.
On October 26, 1990, the fund acquired substantially all of the assets of
Life Insurance Portfolio in a tax-free exchange for shares of Insurance
Portfolio; Life Insurance Portfolio has a capital loss carryover of
approximately $101,000 is currently available to offset future realized
capital gains in Insurance Portfolio, to the extent provided by
regulations.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Regional Banks Portfolio
on June 30, 1986, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $28,561 - a 185.61%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $24,042 over the same period - a 140.42% increase.

REGIONAL BANKS PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Stephen Binder,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Regional Banks Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The total return for the year ended February 28, 1994 was 6.46%. That
lagged the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same period. Like the
financial services fund, which I also manage, this fund surrendered much of
the modest gain it had achieved during the last six months after long-term
interest rates rose in October and the Federal Reserve raised short-term
interest rates on February 4.
Q. HOW DO RISING INTEREST RATES AFFECT BANK STOCKS?
A. Rising interest rates can be hard on all stocks but bank stocks are
especially vulnerable, at least in the short run. That's because rate
increases often lead to a narrower spread between how much banks pay
depositors for the use of their money and how much they earn when they turn
around and lend that money to others. The spread widened in 1991 and 1992,
and stayed wide in 1993, but lately it has begun to narrow. When that
happens, you look for banks that can offset the effect of a narrower spread
with growth in other areas.
Q. WHAT BANKS HAVE YOU FOUND THAT FIT THAT DESCRIPTION?
A. Both of the fund's two largest investments are good examples: Citicorp,
because of its growth in emerging markets, its success in cutting costs,
and its improving credit quality; and Bank of New York, for its strength in
providing services that generate fees and its expanding credit card
division. But I'd also mention NationsBank, which wasn't among the fund's
top-ten holdings six months ago but had risen to number five by the end of
February. NationsBank has aggressively expanded its loan portfolio and
purchased profitable non-bank businesses, including a corporate finance
operation from US West, a consumer finance operation from Chrysler, and
CRT, a trading company.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER NEWCOMERS TO THE TOP OF THE LIST: BANC ONE AND
STATE STREET BOSTON?
A. Banc One has been trading at historic lows compared to the broader
market and to other bank stocks. Yet it remains a strong company capable of
double-digit loan growth, so I took the opportunity to increase the fund's
stake in that company. The start of State Street Boston, a leading
securities custodian and processor, faltered as expenses grew faster than
revenues. I took that as a buying opportunity because I expected to see
improvement in State Street's expense ratio sometime during the next year
or two, leading in turn to accelerated earnings growth.
Q. ANY INTEREST YET IN THE HARD-HIT CALIFORNIA BANKS?
A. Not on my part. I see little hope for revenue growth in California,
which is why the fund has avoided regional giants BankAmerica and Wells
Fargo. I invested in First Interstate, whose stock has risen thanks to
aggressive cost-cutting and takeover speculation; but half of their
business is outside California. The only regional story I've been playing
lately is the mountain states, with West One, First Security and Zions. All
are logical takeover candidates, and have been for some time. Meanwhile,
they've been posting strong loan growth, thanks to their dominance in the
fastest-growing region of the country. That makes them worth owning in
their own right.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
A. I'm somewhat optimistic. There's little question that if interest rates
continue to rise sharply, bank stocks will suffer. On the other hand, if
rates rise gradually, that's not necessarily such a bad thing.
Historically, bank stocks have done reasonably well during the early stages
of those periods when interest rates were rising - by making up for rising
rates with accelerating loan growth. After all, part of what causes
interest rates to rise in the first place is an improving economy, which
can mean an increased demand for loans. In any case, banks with expanding
loan portfolios, rising fee income and good cost control are likely to be
less susceptible to interest-rate shocks than their competitors. It's those
banks I'll continue to emphasize.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $5,438,813, a decrease in undistributed
net investment income of $656,067 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized gain on investments of $4,782,746.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $139,268,223 and $308,044,405, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $81,725 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $13,810,000 and $4,001,063,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $88,642,202. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$7,548,097, of which $9,407,088 related to appreciated investment
securities and $1,858,991 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $26,837,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 191.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

AMERICAN GOLD PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Malcolm MacNaught, Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select American Gold Portfolio
Q. MALCOLM, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Very well. The fund's total return for the year ended February 28, 1994
was 60.14%. This was significantly higher than the S&P 500's return of
8.33% for the same period.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THESE STRONG RESULTS?
A. The fund turned in an unusually good performance in the first half of
the year largely because of the upturn in the U.S. and world economies. At
home, the improving U.S. economy and a corresponding higher demand for gold
helped the fund. On the international front, the increased demand for gold
from China and Southeast Asia boosted prices. The sector also benefited
from improving economic conditions in India, which drove up that country's
demand for gold. Another reason the fund performed well was that I chose a
variety of stocks from large and small mining companies that outperformed
their competition. In the second half of the year, the fund lost ground.
The downturn began in August, when commodity and hedge funds began selling
gold bullion, sending prices of gold mining company stocks tumbling between
10% and 20%. This drop happened because stocks of gold mining companies are
typically more volatile than bullion.
Q. YOU SAID YOU INVESTED IN A VARIETY OF LARGE AND SMALL MINING CONCERNS.
WHAT COMPANIES CAUGHT YOUR ATTENTION?
A. Two different types of companies interested me. I looked for established
companies that were growing, like American Barrick, my top stock at the end
of the period. This company, which has exploration prospects in Nevada and
South America, appears to have excellent production potential for the next
three years. Its gold production could exceed two million ounces by 1996.
Last year, Placer Dome, another large company, embarked on a successful
exploration to increase its reserves. Newmont Mining, based in Colorado, is
another established company that has continued to grow. This past year it
found new gold and copper mines in the Philippines. It also has prospects
in Russia and Peru. I think this company could be a top performer going
forward. I also was attracted to young companies that have found a
significant new ore body. A good example was Kinross Gold, which may have
located a large gold vein in Ontario.
Q. DO YOU CONSIDER ANY OTHER FACTORS?
A. Definitely. I look for good management. I've seen too many promising
companies fail because of poor management. Homestake Mining is a great
example of a changed company. It has significantly improved its operating
management and has cut production costs over the past year. This company
could be an excellent performer going forward if the price of gold
increases.
Q. WHERE ARE MOST OF YOUR NEW PURCHASES COMING FROM NOW?
A. South America. There's a tremendous opportunity to find undiscovered ore
bodies in Chili, Peru, Venezuela, and Guinea. These countries have become
more politically stable, and they've introduced advantageous mining laws
for foreign investors. I should note that this gives South America an
advantage over the United States and Canada because both countries have
quite restrictive environmental mining laws. Plus, the U.S. government
wants to impose an 8% royalty on mining revenues in addition to income
taxes.
Q. WHAT CAN SHAREHOLDERS EXPECT GOING FORWARD?
A. I believe the price of gold could be higher a year from now than it is
today. That's because worldwide supply and demand are almost in balance,
and the demand for jewelry should increase. In 1993, the demand for jewelry
fell one or two percentage points because of economic problems in Western
Europe and Japan. If Europe's economy improves, like I think it will,
jewelry sales should grow no matter what happens in Japan. That said, I
would like to remind shareholders that gold stocks are extremely volatile,
and world economic and political conditions can alter
expectations dramatically.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $16,282,118, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $3,782,513 and an increase in
accumulated net realized loss on investments of $20,064,631.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $140,616,874 and $107,607,735, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $59,125 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $5,482,000 and $2,316,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.8% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $271,131,319. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $77,796,939, of which $96,373,305 related to appreciated
investment securities and $18,576,366 related to depreciated investment
securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund has a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $38,864,000 of which $13,677,000, $2,503,000, $1,152,000,
$13,193,000 and $8,339,000 will expire on February 28, 1997, 1998, 1999,
2000 and 2001, respectively.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 YEAR YEARS YEARS
ENERGY 9.69% 52.65% 127.02%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 6.40% 48.07% 120.21%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 321.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a common
proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10

ENERGY 9.69% 8.83% 8.54%
ENERGY
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 6.40% 8.17% 8.21%
S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 15.48%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

February 29, 1984 and paid a 3% sales charge. By February 28, 1994, your
investment would have grown to $22,021 - a 120.21% increase. That compares
to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $42,184
over the same period - a 321.84% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Robert Bertelson,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Energy
Portfolio
Q. BOB, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
9.69%. That beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same period.
Q. WHAT DROVE THE ENERGY SECTOR AND THE FUND?
A. Energy stocks are sensitive to oil and natural gas prices, and so the
sector and the fund have performed relative to the prices of those
commodities. During the first six months of the period, the fund benefited
from investments in natural gas stocks, which rose sharply on tighter
supply and increased demand. During that period, the fund's biggest gains
came from independent U.S. and Canadian gas producers such as Apache Corp.,
and integrated companies with strong natural gas holdings. The fund also
profited from owning stocks in major oil companies, such as British
Petroleum and Chevron, whose share prices were boosted by cost- cutting
programs and restructuring.
Q. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE PERIOD?
A. By the Fall, some natural gas stocks had gotten a little ahead of
themselves and their prices became very expensive. In November, OPEC failed
to reach an agreement that would control the supply of oil, so the price of
oil and oil stocks fell. What's more, the price of natural gas, which tends
to move with the price of oil, also fell and that hurt the fund's natural
gas investments. But by mid-December, after the market had digested the
OPEC decision, oil prices crept up and natural gas prices rocketed higher.
I believe that both oil and natural gas prices could continue to rise.
Q. SO DID THAT MEAN A CHANGE IN YOUR STRATEGY?
A. A slight modification. The fund continued to have core holdings in the
natural gas companies I've already mentioned. I also continued to hold
companies like British Petroleum, the fund's largest investment. The
company's earnings are less sensitive to low oil prices than other oil
companies and it should continue to benefit from its cost-cutting programs.
Chevron and Exxon, too, are less sensitive to oil prices and could continue
to benefit from restructuring.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR OIL?
A. Over the past several years, the price of crude oil has been driven down
by an increase in supply. Last year that heavy supply was driven by
Kuwait's re-entrance into the OPEC production pool, increased exports from
the former Soviet Union, and increased production coming from the North
Sea. If any of those producers cut back, it could help prices. Plus, I
don't think there will be any increase in oil production during 1994. One
exception could be Iraq if the United Nations lifts export sanctions
against that country, but I don't think that's very likely at this point.
From the demand side, a continued global economic recovery could help boost
prices. The U.S. recovery is well under way and oil consumption has been
growing at a healthy 2% annually. In some emerging markets, consumption is
growing at about 4% per year. Economic improvements in Japan and Europe
could further help oil prices.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR NATURAL GAS PRICES?
A. I believe that the recent harsh winter could help prices. Inventories
have been drawn down to very low levels. During the summer, the inventories
will most likely be built back up, which could help demand for natural gas.
That increased demand should result in higher natural gas prices over the
course of the year.
Q. SO HOW ARE YOU PLANNING TO POSITION THE FUND?
A. For the near term, I'll probably continue the same course. I'm starting
to look closely at energy service companies that could benefit from
increased drilling activity. If drilling activity does start to improve,
I'd probably build up the fund's stake in companies which could benefit
from that trend.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $30,318,422, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $10,003,482 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $20,314,940.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $175,105,313 and $201,310,162, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $157,374 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $2,676,000 and $1,258,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $8,998,163 and $9,154,200, respectively. (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 67.6%
United Kingdom 12.5
Canada 10.1
Netherlands 5.1
France 2.9
Spain 1.8
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $149,094,169. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $6,152,791, of which $10,178,080 related to appreciated
investment securities and $4,025,289 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $5,330,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 191.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
William Mankivsky,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Energy
Service Portfolio
Q. BILL, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. For the 12 months ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return
of 6.36%. That lagged the S&P 500's return of 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND FALL BEHIND?
A. Throughout most of the period, the fund benefited from its investment in
companies that profited from higher natural gas prices, which rose sharply
on strong demand and weak supply. But late last fall, investors dumped
these stocks after they had reached very high levels. What's more, oil
prices - which tend to set the direction for natural gas prices - fell
sharply in November. Those events hurt the fund's natural gas and
oil-related stocks. Plus, the fund's assets fluctuated wildly during the
year, as energy services companies moved in and out of investors' favor. At
times, that meant that I had to sell some of the fund's investments when
they were falling in order to meet the fund's redemptions.
Q. SINCE THE NOVEMBER CORRECTION, WHAT HAS YOUR STRATEGY BEEN?
A. The price of natural gas has rebounded some since the first of the year,
so I've focused on companies that could benefit from that recovery. I've
also slowly increased the fund's investments in companies that could be
helped by rising worldwide oil prices, which haven't yet materialized. If
prices of these commodities rise, exploration and production may become
more profitable.
Q. WHAT'S CAUSING NATURAL GAS PRICES TO REBOUND?
A. Over the last decade there was a fairly large build-up of natural gas
inventory. That build-up depressed natural gas prices until about two years
ago. But as inventory began to be depleted in 1993, natural gas prices
rose. Despite the drop-off last fall, I think they could continue to
recover as inventories stay low.
Q. WHAT OIL-RELATED COMPANIES DID YOU FAVOR?
A. I focused on companies that had more of their revenues coming from
abroad, since oil is the most widely-used fuel across the world. In the
fourth quarter of 1993, oil prices dropped from about $18 a barrel to about
$14. Since then, investors have anticipated that oil prices won't recover
quickly, and that fear seems to be already factored into stock prices. To
me that means that any whiff of positive news might boost oil prices.
That's why I've favored companies like Schlumberger - one of the fund's top
five holdings at the end of the period - because it's inexpensive relative
to its competitors and generates roughly 80% of its oil field profits from
overseas. I also invested in Halliburton - the fund's largest investment at
the end of February. The company gets a considerable share of its profits
from pressure pumping, which helps wring more oil and gas out of existing
wells.
Q. WHAT EFFECT WOULD RISING OIL PRICES HAVE ON PRODUCTION?
A. When commodity prices start to rise, the first thing well operators are
likely to do is improve the production from their existing wells. The next
thing is drill new wells. The fund holds BJ Services, which is a leader in
providing equipment and services that both stimulate old wells and help
cement new ones. It's a well managed company with significant businesses in
the U.S. and abroad. The fund also invested in ICO, which inspects pipes
used to drill wells, and produces a protective pipe coating which makes
those pipes stronger. Both these companies could benefit if commodity
prices start to rise.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Tuboscope, which provides products and services similar to ICO's, didn't
fare as well as I'd hoped. A proposed acquisition of the company fell apart
late last year, and its stock price dropped to about half of its 1993 high.
The fund still holds the company's stock because it's well-managed and has
good cash flow.
Q. WHAT'S ON THE HORIZON FOR ENERGY SERVICE STOCKS?
A. While I can't say for certain what the price of natural gas or oil will
be over the next six months, I see a couple of positive signs for the
stocks. I think that the demand for natural gas may slightly outpace the
supply, which would help prices. I also believe the worst case for oil
prices has already been factored into stock prices, and that there probably
won't be a drop-off in international drilling activity. And since these
stocks have been beaten down recently, a rise in oil or gas prices could
translate to improved earnings for energy service companies.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $4,936,341, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $1,686,758 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized loss on investments of $6,623,099.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $111,824,655 and $152,222,235, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $154,629 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $1,048,125 and $1,163,700, respectively (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $13,078,000 and $3,019,744,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIOD ENDED LIFE OF
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 FUND
NATURAL GAS -3.84%
NATURAL GAS
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) -6.72%
S&P 500 7.57%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, since the fund started on April 21, 1993.
You can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a
common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Natural Gas Portfolio on
April 21, 1993, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would be valued at $9,328 - a 6.72%
decrease. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $10,757 over the same period - a 7.57% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Michael Tempero,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Natural Gas
Portfolio
Q. MIKE, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. From the fund's commencement of operations on April 21, 1993 through
February 28, 1994, it returned -3.84%. That lagged the S&P 500, which
returned 7.57% for the same period.
Q. EVEN THOUGH YOU'VE ONLY MANAGED THE FUND SINCE FEBRUARY 1, CAN YOU TELL
US WHAT HAPPENED SINCE LAST APRIL?
A. Basically, the fund began operations in April of 1993, when natural gas
prices were at their peak. Since then, the fund has been swimming upstream
against falling natural gas prices. What's more, the fourth quarter is
historically very hard on natural gas stocks, and 1993 was no exception.
There was an inventory build-up between March and November - in preparation
for winter - which increased demand for natural gas and drove stock prices
higher. Then, before it was certain how severe the winter weather would
actually be, the stocks were in a dead period. Storage was full and there
was ample supply. At that point, natural gas prices fell and so did stock
prices.
Q. SO WHEN IT BECAME APPARENT THAT LAST WINTER WAS GOING TO BE HARSH, DID
PRICES MOVE HIGHER?
A. Yes, and I expect the effects of a colder-than-normal winter might
continue to drive prices higher through the rest of 1994. Storage levels
are quite low on a historical basis, drawn down by higher-than-expected
heating needs. That should only magnify some of the trends that have
already been helping natural gas prices. First, a decade-long decline in
drilling has kept supply very low. Second, the industry has benefited from
federal policies designed to promote gas as a clean, abundant, domestic
alternative to foreign oil. The combination of lower supply and higher
demand could bode well for natural gas prices.
Q. WHAT KINDS OF COMPANIES DID YOU FOCUS ON?
A. I focused on exploration and production (E&P) like Burlington
Resources - which produces both oil and gas. The company is expected to
have healthy growth in production and also a large drilling inventory. That
means it has a lot of land it can drill on currently, before it's forced to
go out and buy additional land to raise production levels. Despite the
decline in oil prices, the company should continue to do well.
Q. WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE ATTRACTIVE?
A. Cabot, an Appalachian producer, is expected to have relatively higher
levels of oil and gas production in 1994. Enron, whose production growth
over the past few years has been strong, has also been helped by aggressive
cost-cutting efforts. Plus, Enron is turning to new locations - namely
Trinidad and India - to increase production growth. Anadarko Petroleum is
the only company drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico under layers of
salt. That technique is one that none of Anadarko's competitors has yet
mastered. Apache, on the other hand, has been extremely successful in
buying old properties and making them pay off in terms of production.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR NATURAL GAS PRICES?
A. I'm fairly optimistic. Storage inventory has been drawn down to very low
levels. Companies will need to re-build that inventory this summer. Demand,
on the other hand, has been increasing 3 to 5% over the past several years,
and it looks like that trend may continue. I also think oil prices could
turn around this summer and begin to rise. If you believe, as I do, that
low oil prices have held back natural gas prices, a recovery in oil prices
could ultimately benefit natural gas prices.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 321.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a common
proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Malcolm MacNaught, Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Precious
Metals and Minerals
Portfolio
Q. MALCOLM, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. It had an excellent year. The fund's total return for the year ended
February 28, 1994 was 70.58%, dramatically higher than the S&P 500's
return of 8.33% for the same period.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND TURN IN THESE OUTSTANDING RESULTS?
A. The fund benefited from its heavy weighting in volatile South African
and Australian gold shares during the first half of the year. This market
was driven by higher gold prices and improving social and economic
situations in South Africa and Australia. Demand from China and Southeast
Asia also boosted the price of gold, as did improving economic conditions
in India, which increased that country's gold demand. Another influence was
turmoil in Turkey, where the people were trying to protect themselves from
rampant inflation by buying gold.
Q. HOW DID YOUR STOCK SELECTION AFFECT THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. I focused on two different types of gold stocks. I liked established,
growing companies, such as a South African mining concern, Vaal Reefs
Exploration and Mining, and two Australian companies, Poseidon Gold and
Plutonic Resources. I also was attracted to young companies that have found
a significant new source of precious metals. A good example is Delta Gold,
a well-managed Australian company with growth prospects in Australia and
Zimbabwe. Smaller companies can be more volatile than established ones, but
they also can produce excellent returns when things go well.
Q. OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, THE FUND TURNED IN WEAKER PERFORMANCE. WHAT
HAPPENED?
A. Probably the biggest reason was the decline in the price of gold.
Commodity funds and hedge funds were quick to drop their gold investments
as soon as prices started falling in August. As a result, gold prices
tumbled between 10% and 20%. Asian buyers, who are very price conscious,
stopped buying gold around the same time. The South African stock index
also experienced some weakness in anticipation of April's national
elections. And in Australia, gold prices saw a much-needed correction after
the gold index had climbed by as much as 140%. Prices picked up a bit
after Christmas and following Ramadan, a Muslim holiday in February,
reflecting better jewelry sales.
Q. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE STRONG PERFORMANCE OF SOUTH AFRICAN AND
AUSTRALIAN STOCKS. WHY WAS YOUR TOP STOCK A CANADIAN COMPANY?
A. American Barrick, a mining company with exploration prospects in Nevada
and South America, appears to have excellent production potential over the
next three years. Fourth quarter gold sales and earnings were a bit below
expectations, but the first quarter of 1994 should be very good, and I
expect it will be an excellent long-term performer.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND GOING FORWARD?
A. I believe the price of gold could be higher a year from now than it is
today. That's because worldwide supply and demand are almost in balance and
the demand for jewelry should increase about 4% to 6%. In 1993, the demand
for jewelry fell one or two percentage points because of economic problems
in Western Europe and Japan. If Europe's economy improves, like I expect it
to, jewelry sales should grow no matter what happens in Japan. That said,
I would like to remind shareholders that the fund had an unusually good
year. In general, gold stocks are extremely volatile, and world economic
and political circumstances can alter expectations dramatically.

LEGEND
1. Non-income producing
2. Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act
of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At the period
end, the value of these securities amounted to $1,547,000 or 0.4% of net
assets.
OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $2,542,641, a decrease in undistributed
net investment income of $19,448,225 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized loss on investments of $16,905,584.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $346,823,341 and $242,573,923, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $78,769 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $7,803,000 and $6,252,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $330,879,856. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $70,870,104, of which $98,042,314 related to appreciated
investment securities and $27,172,210 related to depreciated investment
securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $69,642,000 of which $41,690,000, $6,357,000, $2,070,000,
$8,843,000 and $10,682,000 will expire on February 28, 1997, 1998, 1999,
2000 and 2001, respectively.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 321.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a common
proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Utilities Portfolio on
February 29, 1984 and paid a 3% sales charge. By February 28, 1994, your
investment would have grown to $43,070 - a 330.70% increase. That compares
to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $42,184
over the same period - a 321.84% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
John Muresianu,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Utilities
Portfolio
Q. JOHN, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
2.53%. That lagged the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHAT DROVE THE SECTOR'S - AND THE FUND'S - PERFORMANCE?
A. The first half of the period was good for gas, electric and telephone
utility stocks. As interest rates fell, investors looked to utility stocks
to boost their income. Moreover, utility companies generally carry a lot of
debt, so their interest expense declines significantly as rates fall. That
in turn boosts their earnings potential. But in the second half of the
period all utility groups fell as interest rates turned up. That was
particularly true in February of this year, when the Federal Reserve raised
rates a quarter of a percentage point, and at that point the fund gave
back much of its previous gains.
Q. SINCE THAT REVERSAL IN THE DIRECTION OF INTEREST RATES HAVE YOU CHANGED
YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Not really, because I don't build the fund around where I think interest
rates will go. Rather, I try to invest in stocks that offer the best
potential for higher revenue and earnings growth. For that reason, I
continued to focus on telephone utilities and gas, and de-emphasized
electric utilities. The electric companies are just beginning the process
of deregulation, which adds a greater degree of unpredictability to their
earnings prospects.
Q. WHY DO YOU FAVOR TELEPHONE UTILITIES?
A. Mainly because of their superior earnings growth potential. Higher
earnings are driven by a combination of modest revenue growth and expense
control. On the revenue side, access lines have grown 2 to 4% a year, with
call volumes up 5 to 8% annually. The companies have also profited from
adding new services, such as call waiting, at little additional cost. Plus,
cellular subscribers have been growing at 30 to 50% per year. On the cost
side, headcount is being reduced. The prices of key components of capital
spending budgets, such as fiber, have come down. Finally, many of these
companies generate substantial cash flow, even after dividends and capital
spending.
Q. LET'S MOVE TO GAS UTILITIES. WHAT WAS THE STORY THERE?
A. Gas utilities as a group did better than electric utilities during the
first half of the period because they benefited not only from a decline in
interest rates but also from a tighter supply/demand balance for natural
gas. Also, they generally held up better than telephones in February of
this year. But their decline - when interest rates rose last - was made
more severe by a sharp drop in natural gas prices. But despite that drop,
I'm optimistic. On the demand side, federal policy is promoting the use of
this clean, abundant domestic fuel. On the supply side, drilling had
declined to historic lows in 1992, reducing supply and pushing up prices.
With the recent hard winter, inventories have been drawn down further. The
fund's investments in natural gas include Enron, which I think is one of
the best-managed companies in the group and has a consistent record of
earnings growth, and Sonat, which has had substantial gas reserves and has
benefited from the rise in natural gas prices.
Q. DID YOU INVEST IN ANY GAS COMPANIES THAT DIDN'T DO AS WELL?
A. ENSERCH didn't do as well as I had expected. And there were
disappointments in the other groups - like NYNEX in the telephones and
Commonwealth Edison in the electrics. In each instance, however, the stocks
were very cheap, turnaround stories which should do well over the long
term.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK FOR UTILITIES FROM HERE?
A. With U.S. stock prices near historic highs, a general stock market
correction is a significant risk. During such a correction, utilities could
possibly outperform the market because of their high yield potential -
unless inflation was accelerating dramatically, which I don't think will
happen soon. However, if interest rates rise during a correction, utility
stocks would probably decline, though they may still do well relative to
other sectors. If, on the other hand, the stock market and interest rates
both rise, utilities would most likely lag the market. And finally, if
interest rates decline, the stocks should do well in both absolute and
relative terms.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $45,368,784, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $20,656,342 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $24,712,442.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $179,667,186 and $208,526,586, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $137,624 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $2,205,000 and $1,317,750,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $242,856,965. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $7,523,757, of which $21,884,088 related to appreciated
investment securities and $14,360,331 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $15,693,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.
On February 25, 1994, the fund acquired substantially all of the assets of
Electric Utilities Portfolio in a tax-free exchange for shares of Utilities
Portfolio. Electric Utilities Portfolio had net unrealized appreciation of
$1,838,111 (see Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements).

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 191.37%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on December 16, 1985. You can compare these figures to the
performance of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market.
This benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Biotechnology Portfolio
on December 16, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales charge. By
February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $36,397 - a 263.97%
increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would
have grown to $29,137 over the same period - a 191.37% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Karen Firestone,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select
Biotechnology Portfolio
Q. KAREN, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund had a total return of 22.17% for the 12 months ended February
28. That topped the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% during the same
period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
A. Often the biotechnology group will rise and fall on the fortunes of one
company that emerges at any given time as the sector leader. Over the past
year, that company was Chiron, one of the fund's top 10 investments for
most of that time. The stock went on an uphill ride starting last spring,
after the company won FDA approval for Betaseron, a new treatment for
multiple sclerosis. Investors began to feel good again about the prospects
of biotech stocks, and Chiron's success fueled a moderate sector rally in
the second half of 1993. However, by mid-January 1994 investors began to
question whether biotech stock prices were inflated. Once they decided the
answer was yes, they began taking profits. I reduced the fund's investment
in Chiron for the same reason. To illustrate, the price of a share of
Chiron went from $48.25 at the end of March to $84.00 at the end of
December, before falling to $77.50 by February 28. Most stocks in the
sector followed the same pattern.
Q. WHAT ELSE DROVE PERFORMANCE?
A. Focusing on established biotech companies, which usually aren't as
volatile as many of the smaller names. These are often companies that have
products on the market generating solid earnings, as well as new products
in the pipeline. For example, Biogen has a strong base of business in its
hepatitis vaccine and therapy treatment. Plus, investors got excited about
promising drugs in development to prevent cardiovascular clotting and treat
multiple sclerosis. Biogen's stock price made solid gains from the end of
August through the end of January, but I eventually cut back because I
thought the stock had gotten expensive. Amgen wasn't quite as strong a
performer, but it had the most revenue and best profit margins in the
industry. Amgen's growth has slowed in recent years, but I like the stock's
low valuation - its price compared to other measures like earnings.
Q. DOES THAT MEAN YOU STAYED AWAY FROM THE SMALLER, LESSER-KNOWN BIOTECH
NAMES?
A. Not entirely. I did have some success with companies that have promising
products under development. Cellpro is testing a blood-cell separation drug
that could allow doctors to administer chemotherapy to cancer patients more
quickly, presumably enhancing chances for survival. Protein Design Labs
stock shot up in the second half of '93 after a larger pharmaceutical name
made a big investment in the company. It's a move that often helps confirm
the worth of the smaller company's stock in the eyes of investors.
Q. YOU'VE ALREADY MENTIONED THAT THE SECTOR BEGAN A CORRECTION IN JANUARY.
WERE THERE INDIVIDUAL DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Sure. Gilead Sciences looked like a leader in AIDS research and
anti-viral drug development last year. However, concrete results were slow
in coming, and didn't justify the hopes investors had built into the
company's stock price. Gilead was one of the fund's 10 largest investments
six months ago, but I cut back as its stock price began to fall. In
addition, the performance of drug companies like Schering-Plough and Pfizer
was flat over the last six months. Investors continued to worry that these
companies would lose the ability to raise prices because of health-care
reform.
Q. HAS THE RECENT CORRECTION INFLUENCED YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT SIX
MONTHS?
A. Somewhat. I think investor fears about health-care reform are already
priced into most biotech stocks, but this latest correction may still have
some legs. I don't see one company taking the lead in pulling the sector
back up the way Chiron did last year. Over the next six months, it doesn't
appear as if any of the biotech companies will either produce very strong
earnings, gain approval for a new product, or form an alliance with a major
corporation - all examples of what often triggers sector rallies. For these
reasons, I'll probably stay focused on bigger names like Genentech - the
fund's largest investment on February 28. The company's products are
diverse, and it has a big research pipeline. I think this type of company
is best equipped to weather downturns in the market, but still has good
growth potential should the sector turn around.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $74,326,546, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $6,072,705 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $80,399,251.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $240,824,980 and $355,165,920, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $42,992 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $2,430,000 and $2,520,000, respectively (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 89.8%
Switzerland 3.7
Ireland 2.7
Israel 2.1
Others (individually less than 1%) 1.7
TOTAL 100.0%

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 YEAR YEARS YEARS
HEALTH CARE 20.57% 160.75% 518.97%
HEALTH CARE
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 16.95% 152.92% 500.40%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 321.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a common
proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10

HEALTH CARE 20.57% 21.13% 20.00%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 16.95% 20.39% 19.63%
S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 15.48%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Charles Mangum,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Health Care
Portfolio
Q. CHARLES, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund's total return for the year ended February 28, 1994
was 20.57%. This was more than double the 8.33% return of the S&P 500.
Q. GIVEN THE CONCERNS AROUND HEALTH-CARE REFORM, HOW DID THE FUND END UP
OUTPERFORMING THE S&P 500?
A. In part, it was the sector itself that performed well. Over the past
year, the sector received a psychological boost as fears about health-care
reform subsided. February of 1993 marked the psychological bottom, and
since then the stocks have made a significant recovery. During this fall,
many investors shifted their focus from companies they expected to survive
reform to companies that promised innovation and growth.
Q. IN LIGHT OF THIS SHIFT, DID YOU CHANGE YOUR STRATEGY?
A. Yes. Over the past six months, I increased my stake in two fast growing
areas- biotechnology and health maintenance organizations, or HMOs. Both
helped the fund's performance dramatically. In particular, biotechnology
stocks did well as demand for innovative products increased. The expected
success of Chiron's Betaseron, a promising new treatment for multiple
sclerosis, propelled the company's stock from about $48 at the end of March
to $84 at the end of December. Biogen was another winner. Its licensed
products for the prevention and treatment of hepatitis helped push its
stock up dramatically. In the late fall I sold both Chiron and Biogen at a
profit. Some HMOs also looked good as low-cost providers that would benefit
from any reasonable plan passed by Congress. The fund had investments in
U.S. Healthcare, a Northeastern HMO that has done an excellent job holding
down costs while increasing its membership.
Q. YOU SAID THE SECTOR IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DESENSITIZED TO HEALTH-CARE
REFORM. WHAT'S BEHIND THIS TREND?
A. The news out of Washington changes every day, and I think investors are
taking it less seriously. In addition, the public seems to be losing
interest in health-care reform and focusing instead on issues like crime
and welfare. I think this trend away from health-care reform will become
more pronounced as the economy picks up and people feel more secure in
their jobs. In my opinion, President Clinton's proposed reform will face
strong opposition because people will decide that any form of price control
is detrimental to quality care and that mandatory coverage is too
burdensome for government and business. I believe that reform will be
incremental over the next few years.
Q. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES HAD A TOUGH TIME OVER THE LAST YEAR. WHY DO YOU
HAVE THREE DRUG COMPANIES IN YOUR TOP 10 STOCKS?
A. Many drug companies had a difficult year, largely because health-care
reform targeted them as expensive providers. In addition, the industry
experienced some fundamental problems in Italy and Germany, where
pharmaceutical spending was down 15% to 20%. My top three stocks,
Warner-Lambert, Schering-Plough, and Pfizer all had a mixed year. However,
Schering-Plough had a better year than the other two stocks. Its earnings
per share were up about 18% after the introduction of Claritin, a new
allergy medication. I'm keeping a significant stake in pharmaceutical drugs
because I think they have strong potential going forward.
Q. DO YOU REGRET ANY OF THE FUND DECISIONS YOU'VE MADE OVER THE LAST YEAR?
A. Yes. I wish I'd owned fewer drug stocks and more HMOs in the last six
months when HMOs performed well. However, when I consider my decision to
stay with pharmaceutical drugs for the coming 12 months, I come to the same
conclusion. HMOs are extremely expensive, and the market's growth
expectations are unrealistic. Pharmaceuticals are exactly the opposite.
Their expectations are at rock bottom and a number of positive changes are
taking place in the industry.
Q. HOW DOES THE FUND LOOK GOING FORWARD?
A. Although the market is still volatile, I think the fund's performance
may be more consistent over the next year than it was over the past year.
This is mostly because I believe investors will be less influenced by
health-care reform. I also expect that the fund could profit from its
investments in pharmaceuticals. When I look at both of these factors, I'm
increasingly optimistic.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $175,972,829, a decrease in
undistributed net investment income of $4,958,402 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $171,014,427.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,075,375,355 and $1,208,758,948 respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $342,394 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $15,469,000 and $15,896,700, respectively (see Note
6 of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $508,083,012. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $12,143,843, of which $33,184,087 related to appreciated
investment securities and $21,040,244 related to depreciated investment
securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $529,000 which will expire on February 28, 2002.
The fund intends to elect to defer to its fiscal year ending February 28,
1995 $6,543,000 of losses recognized during the period November 1, 1993 to
February 28, 1994.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 YEAR YEARS FUND
MEDICAL DELIVERY 40.25% 185.42% 164.92%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 36.04% 176.85% 156.97%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 140.42%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on June 30, 1986. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 36.04% 22.59% 13.09%
S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 12.11%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above average-gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Louis Salemy,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Medical
Delivery Portfolio
Q. LOUIS, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. Very well. It had a total return of 40.25% for the year ended February
28, 1994. This was dramatically above the S&P 500's 8.33% return.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND TURN IN SUCH STRONG PERFORMANCE, ESPECIALLY OVER THE
LAST SIX MONTHS?
A. There were two reasons. First, after a series of ups and downs in the
market during the year, investors became less nervous about health-care
reform. Since September, support for President Clinton's plan has weakened,
and the market has become more resilient to speculation about reform. As a
result, investors have switched their focus from companies they thought
would survive health-care reform to innovative companies with strong
prospects.
Q. AND THE SECOND REASON?
A. The fund benefited from an increased number of mergers and acquisitions
in the health-care industry. For example, this February, two companies in
the fund's top 10 holdings merged: Columbia bought HCA (Hospital Corp. of
America) at a high premium. I sold the fund's HCA stock at a 60% profit,
and held on to Columbia, which was much more profitable than I expected it
to be in the fourth quarter. With the acquisition of HCA, Columbia became
one of the largest hospital companies in the country. It also looks good
going forward. Since December of 1993, its share price has increased from
$30 to $44.
Q. HAVE YOU CHANGED THE FUND'S INVESTMENT STRATEGY OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. Yes. I've made two significant changes. First, the fund owned larger
stakes in the top 10 stocks than the fund has held in the past. In fact,
the top six stocks account for nearly 50% of the fund's investments. The
other major change I've made is to drop most of the fund's alternative site
delivery companies - companies that offer specific services, such as
inpatient mental health care, physical rehabilitation, and home infusion,
at sites away from hospitals. These companies accounted for about 30% of
the fund before I took it over in April. Because they could offer services
less expensively than many hospitals, they were favored by insurance
companies, especially during the late 1980s. However, in 1991, alternative
site companies added so much capacity for patients that they exceeded
demand for their services. At the same time, hospitals changed the way they
charged for services, which made them more competitive. As a result, the
alternative site industry has shown disappointing earnings. Right now, the
only notable alternative site company in the fund is Lincare, which
provides respiratory therapy at home. It has a jump on its competitors
because of its large customer base and ability to provide services at a low
cost.
Q. WHAT DID YOU BUY INSTEAD?
A. Mainly HMOs. I believe that HMOs with a dominant local market position
have high growth potential. That's because these companies will be able to
offer a package of benefits at a competitive price, which should drive
membership and earnings growth. My biggest investments were U.S.
Healthcare, an HMO in the Northeast, and United Healthcare, an HMO with
offices throughout the country. Over the past year, United Healthcare has
been actively acquiring other HMOs and improving its operations.
Q. IN HINDSIGHT, DO YOU REGRET ANY OF YOUR DECISIONS?
A. Sure. I wish I'd bought some of the high-performing stocks the fund
didn't own, like Humana HMO. This company turned in a great performance in
1993, mostly because it cut costs dramatically - much more than I thought
it could.
Q. WHAT DO YOU THINK SHAREHOLDERS CAN EXPECT GOING FORWARD?
A. I'm reasonably optimistic about the fund. Each of the companies the fund
owns has a unique service or product. If my earnings estimates are correct,
the fund has good potential for 1994.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $19,878,373, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $1,691,792 and a decrease in
accumulated net realized gain on investments of $21,570,165.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $184,954,212 and $140,931,022, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $71,221 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $2,326,600 and $2,362,700, respectively (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $175,170,766. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $25,520,379, of which $27,509,658 related to appreciated
investment securities and $1,989,279 related to depreciated investment
securities.
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $12,438,000 of which $1,480,000 and $10,958,000 will expire
on February 28, 2001 and 2002, respectively.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Harry Lange,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Computers Portfolio
Q. HARRY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Very well. The fund had a total return of 45.06% for the 12 months ended
February 28, 1994. That easily outdistanced the S&P 500, which returned
8.33% during the same period.
Q. WHAT WAS BEHIND THE FUND'S SUCCESS?
A. A broad answer is the continuing boom in personal computers. The PC
market and related industries picked up in 1993 for several reasons:
corporations upgraded their systems more quickly, demand increased among
home users, and international markets - especially the Far East - were
strong. However, I can also attribute a fair amount of the fund's
performance to successful trading. I bought stocks like Apple, Dell and
Digital Equipment when valuations (prices compared to other measures like
earnings) were low and sold them after the stocks had risen. The exception
was Compaq. It was the fund's largest investment over most of the last six
months and was a star performer throughout.
Q. WHAT MADE COMPAQ SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. I'll try to limit the superlatives, but it's not easy. Compaq now claims
an 11% share of the world PC market, up from 7% a year ago. The company is
big enough to produce its computers at low cost, but agile enough to
respond to a rapidly changing market. Compaq's stock price has nearly
doubled over the last six months, but amazingly its price-to-earnings ratio
hasn't changed much because earnings estimates have risen just as rapidly.
The company's relatively low stock valuation, combined with its growth
potential, make me optimistic about Compaq's future.
Q. WHAT OTHER COMPANIES BENEFITED FROM THE INCREASED DEMAND FOR PCS AND
RELATED PRODUCTS?
A. Computer and software stores and computer equipment wholesalers. For
example, Micro-Age has done very well providing equipment to firms that
specialize in system installation for small businesses. Merisel is a
wholesaler that distributes software and networking products, as well as
computers. Lately, I've decreased the fund's investment in both groups; I
felt the stocks had gotten expensive.
Q. WHERE DID YOU TURN?
A. To semiconductors. The stocks of chip makers suffered a technical
correction last fall, which provided a buying opportunity. On February 28,
28.3% of the fund was invested in semiconductor stocks, up from 13.4% six
months ago. I like this sector because I see no letup in the demand for
semiconductors. My largest bet is Intel, which is putting out its new
microprocessor, the Pentium, this year. Intel stands alone with this
technology, and I believe it could gain greater market share. Texas
Instruments, Advanced Micro Devices and Samsung are other chipmakers that
may benefit from a solid market for semiconductors.
Q. DESPITE THE FUND'S EXCELLENT RETURNS, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN AT LEAST A
FEW DISAPPOINTMENTS ALONG THE WAY . . .
A. There were. Sun Microsystems - which produces computer workstations -
changed its operating system last year and had some trouble making the
transition. Despite the stock's flat performance so far, I'll probably
stick with it because I think demand for workstations is still there. Also,
a small investment in a few Japanese electronics companies hurt the fund's
performance. The Japanese stock market corrected sharply in the fall, and I
didn't get the fund out in time.
Q. CAN THE FUND CONTINUE TO PERFORM AT THIS PACE?
A. That's a tricky question. Certainly the underlying story of this sector
seems solid. I don't see a slowdown in the personal computer market, which
helps all the industries surrounding it. But there's always the risk of a
correction, which can be quick and sharp. When a sector has done so well,
investors look for any small reason to sell, even if common logic
disagrees. I'll most likely use any correction as an opportunity to add to
my top investments, because I believe the business prospects of these
companies are very compelling.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $9,923,134, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $800,930 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized gain on investments of $10,724,064.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $77,616,646 and $57,928,832, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $45,787 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $3,561,000 and $2,381,789,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.8% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $80,381,627. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$15,299,116, of which $16,587,393 related to appreciated investment
securities and $1,288,277 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $1,031,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 28.08% 66.68% 108.99%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 311.87%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on May 8, 1984. You can compare these figures to the performance of
the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark
includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Portfolio on May 8, 1984, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $20,899 -
a 108.99% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $41,187 over the same period - a 311.87%
increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Stephen Binder,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Defense and Aerospace Portfolio
Q. STEVE, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The total return for the year ended February 28, 1994 was 32.04%. That
beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same period. The big
story this past year has been the shift in the fund's focus - away from
pure defense contractors and toward large industrial conglomerates with
defense components.
Q. CAN YOU EXPAND ON THAT?
A. Last spring, military contractors like Loral, Martin Marietta, Raytheon,
Grumman and Northrop still dominated the fund. Defense stocks had soared
during the Gulf War but since then had underperformed the broader market
due to reduced federal spending and a gloomy outlook for revenues. But by
then they were already busy cleaning up their balance sheets - reducing
payrolls, slashing capital spending, accumulating cash and paying down
debt. Part of that industry-wide restructuring involved consolidation.
Martin Marietta's acquisition of General Electric's aerospace division and
Lockheed's purchase of General Dynamic's fighter aircraft division were the
two important deals. The upshot was a surge of investor interest that
lifted defense stocks across the board, and drove the fund's performance in
the first half of the year.
Q. YOU'VE SINCE SOLD THE DEFENSE STOCKS?
A. Sold or cut back, with the exception of McDonnell Douglas, the fund's
largest investment at the end of February. McDonnell Douglas was among the
last of the big defense contractors to go through the restructuring
process. And as earnings exploded last year, the stock nearly doubled. I
still own it because of McDonnell Douglas's success selling jet fighters
overseas, which bodes well for maintaining revenues.
Q. CAN EXPORTS MAKE UP FOR REDUCED DOMESTIC SALES?
A. Not for the industry as a whole; the domestic market is just too big to
be offset by the foreign market. That's not to say exports aren't vitally
important to individual companies. For example, China's growing power and
North Korea's emergence as a regional troublemaker in the Far East have
raised fears among the so-called Asian Tigers - countries like Malaysia and
Taiwan. That could prove to be a fertile opportunity, particularly for
fighter-aircraft makers McDonnell Douglas and Lockheed.
Q. BUT OTHERWISE THE FUND HAS SHIFTED AWAY FROM PURE DEFENSE PLAYS
RECENTLY?
A. That's right. By the end of February, a good two-thirds of the fund's
investments were conglomerates. As a group, they're especially sensitive to
broad movements in the economy, and so have prospered as the economic
recovery has begun to take hold. These are names like Watkins-Johnson,
which makes semiconductors; Thiokol, whose products include rocket engines
and fasteners, and which is a restructuring story; Harris Corp., another
semiconductor play; United Technologies, a conglomerate with exposure to
defense and aerospace through its Pratt & Whitney engine subsidiary;
and TRW, which has a sizable defense component but also makes air bags and
so stands to benefit from increased auto sales.
Q. WHAT MAKES THE CONGLOMERATES SO ATTRACTIVE RIGHT NOW?
A. For one, they're cyclicals, which means they tend to move in tandem with
the economy. You want to own them during times like these, when the economy
seems to be improving. But beyond that, there's an ongoing restructuring
theme here, too, as there is in the defense industry. Many of these
companies are eliminating non-core operations, trying to raise returns on
their remaining businesses and generally improving their balance sheets.
Who knows how far they could go in a decent economy? Especially if and when
Europe recovers, which could be a 1995 story.
Q. WHAT'S THE OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
A. Most of the stocks in the fund have had big runs lately, which suggests
there may not be as much room for continued price gains in 1994. On the
other hand, while revenue growth opportunities in the defense industry are
limited, cash flow is strong and the earnings outlook remains positive.
Loral, for example, with its recent acquisition of IBM's Federal Systems,
may well have locked in 20% earnings growth for the next couple of years.
As for the conglomerates, I think it's reasonable to expect earnings for
the group to have the potential to grow at a faster pace than the rest of
the market, and for the stocks to perform accordingly.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $2,737,125, a decrease in
undistributed net investment loss of $5,451 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized gain on investments of $2,742,576.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $19,454,896 and $12,708,670, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $7,073 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $3,609,000 and $1,919,545,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $12,810,520. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$321,508, of which $429,932 related to appreciated investment securities
and $108,424 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $151,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 26.33% 122.99%
S&P 500 8.33% 46.34%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, or since the fund started on
June 29, 1990. You can compare these figures to the performance of the
S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark
includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS
(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 26.33% 24.39%
S&P 500 8.33% 10.92%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Developing Communications
Portfolio on June 29, 1990, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $22,299 -
a 122.99% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $14,634 over the same period - a 46.34% increase.

DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Paul Antico,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select Developing
Communications Portfolio
Q. PAUL, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. The fund had a total return of 30.24% for the year ended
February 28, 1994, compared to the S&P 500, which was up 8.33% for the
year.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND COME OUT SO FAR AHEAD?
A. There were two reasons. Until this fall, many people invested heavily in
telecommunication stocks to take advantage of the information superhighway
they'd been reading about in the media. The information superhighway
promised to provide American homes with multimedia technology that combined
telephone, television, and computer services. The increased interest in
these stocks drove prices way up. However, in October, the market began to
correct itself when investors realized that this multimedia product
wouldn't become a reality for at least a couple years. As a result, the
fund's six-month total return ending February 28 fell to 4.57%.
Q. WHAT WAS THE OTHER REASON FOR THE FUND'S STRONG ANNUAL PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund took advantage of what I call the broadband revolution. A
broadband network is made up of fiber optic lines that can hold more than
2,000 times the volume of a regular copper telephone line. I call it a
revolution because it's a major change in the design of the public
telecommunication network. This network allows telephone companies to send
a large number of calls on one line, which cuts costs. It also lets them
transmit high-speed data for large businesses, increasing current revenues.
Many telephone equipment companies involved in the broadband network are
profitable right now, and they could be critical players when multimedia
products become a reality in about five years. My largest stock, DSC
Communications, makes several products for the broadband network. One
example is Lightspan, a product that sends fiber optic signals over
telephone lines. Since July of 1992, DSC's stock was up more than 900%, and
it could continue to perform well as this industry grows. Tellabs, which
makes similar products, was also a notable performer, as was Newbridge
Networks.
Q. YOU TOOK OVER THE FUND IN DECEMBER. HAVE YOU CHANGED ITS STRATEGY?
A. Yes. I've focused more on equipment suppliers than the fund has in the
past. I think these companies have the potential to be winners because they
provide products that both telephone and cable companies need, such as
broadband equipment, wireless communication equipment, and data
communication equipment. I think Motorola is a good example of an
outstanding equipment company - it provides several products that may be
crucial to today's and tomorrow's telecommunications industry. I also
reduced the number of computer stocks in the fund because computers are not
my area of expertise.
Q. HAVE YOU MADE ANY OTHER NOTABLE CHANGES?
A. I moved away from land-line phone services, such as AT&T, into
cellular services. In fact, cellular stocks now make up more than 10% of
the fund. Over the past year, the fund had a heavy stake in Telephone and
Data Systems, the company that owns U.S. Cellular. I believe that U.S.
Cellular, like other cellular companies, may have the potential to expand
its market penetration and grow.
Q. WHAT ELSE CAUGHT YOUR INTEREST?
A. NTN Communications, a small multimedia company. NTN makes an interactive
game called QB1 that's sold to bars. QB1 lets patrons guess on the next
play in a televised sporting event, like a football game. I like it because
it's an interactive product that's used right now. And, if the government
allows off-track betting or other interactive gaming at home in the future,
this product could have tremendous potential.
Q. WHAT CAN SHAREHOLDERS EXPECT GOING FORWARD?
A. I think the fund will probably be more stable than it was over the past
year. While the market for telecommunication stocks may continue to be
somewhat volatile over the coming months, I've invested the fund in
companies that are turning in results now. As a result, I believe the
fund's long-term strategy is sound.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital of $709,857, a decrease in
accumulated net investment loss of $394,017 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized gain on investments of $1,103,874.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $566,725,350 and $463,490,116, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $168,725 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 88.4%
Canada 4.2
Finland 1.6
United Kingdom 1.4
Brazil 1.0
Others (individually less than 1%) 3.4
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $201,294,460. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $15,212,014, of which $22,324,973 related to appreciated
investment securities and $7,112,959 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $5,729,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 LIFE OF
FEBRUARY 28, 1994 YEAR YEARS FUND
ELECTRONICS 46.24% 205.69% 109.09%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 41.85% 196.52% 102.82%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 222.99%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 14.62%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Harry Lange,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Electronics Portfolio
Q. HARRY, HOW DID THE FUND DO?
A. The fund had a solid year. For the 12 months ended February 28, 1994, it
had a total return of 46.24%. That easily topped the S&P 500, which
returned 8.33% during the same period.
Q. WHAT DROVE THIS STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. In a word, semiconductors. The fund did well to the extent that it
focused on electronics companies that were directly tied to the explosion
in the sales of personal computers. Most of us know the PC story by now:
price wars helped to make them affordable to the masses. And as PC cycles
go, so go companies that manufacture the computer's "brains" - the
semiconductors. More than half of all chips made are used in personal
computers, and every new generation of computers requires greater memory
capacity, i.e. more chips. But sidestepping the sector losers over the past
year was almost as important as picking the winners. I avoided companies
that manufacture electronic instruments or equipment used for national
defense. This group is heavily dependent upon military spending by the
government, which just wasn't there.
Q. LET'S GO BACK TO THE WINNERS. WASN'T THERE A CORRECTION IN SEMICONDUCTOR
STOCKS LAST FALL?
A. Yes there was. The semiconductor market has a history of volatility.
After performing very well during the first six months of 1993, the stocks
of many chip makers had very high valuations (prices compared to other
measures like earnings). Investors took profits in the fall, which allowed
me to add to the fund's semiconductor investments. Even though stock prices
had dropped, I still believed in the underlying story: the demand for chips
was still increasing. Since then the stocks of semiconductor manufacturers
like Advanced Micro Devices, Micron Technology, and Texas Instruments have
risen steadily. All were among the fund's top 10 investments at the end of
February. Motorola's stock performed strongly, due in part to its
semiconductor business, but the company is also a big player in the move
toward wireless communications. The one chip maker that hasn't yet come
along for the ride is Intel, the fund's largest investment on February 28.
Q. IF INTEL'S PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN FLAT LATELY, WHY ARE YOU STICKING WITH
IT?
A. The company is issuing a new line of microprocessors this year that
signals the turnover of another generation of personal computers. Intel
stands alone with this technology. If it clicks, I believe the company
could see increased earnings and market share.
Q. BESIDES INTEL, DID THE FUND HAVE ANY OTHER LAGGARDS OVER THE PAST YEAR?
A. Some companies that design and market computer software were
disappointments. I'm thinking specifically of Borland International, and to
a lesser extent, Microsoft. Borland had sluggish earnings, and the company
lost market share. Microsoft's earnings came in pretty much on target, but
in 1993 that wasn't good enough. That's because the earnings of so many
other companies in the computer industry exceeded expectations.
Q. HAS THE FUND'S LARGE CASH POSITION - 25% ON FEBRUARY 28 - HURT
PERFORMANCE?
A. Not yet. The fund surged in the first two months of 1994, and investors
have recently poured in a lot of new money. I'm working hard to invest that
money before it becomes a drag on performance. My goal is to quickly get
the fund's cash stake below 10%.
Q. CAN THE FUND KEEP UP THE STRONG PACE?
A. Well, I see no letup in the demand for personal computers, which bodes
well for semiconductor demand. On the supply side, U.S. chip makers are
regaining market leadership; their Japanese counterparts aren't adding
production capacity due to the recession there. While all of this sounds
good, shareholders need to realize that my aggressive focus on
semiconductors could make the fund very volatile in the short run. Even if
the underlying story remains positive, these stocks can correct more
sharply than most in a market downturn. If investors are comfortable with
that level of risk, I believe they could be rewarded in time.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $499,365, a decrease in accumulated net
investment loss of $803,731 and a decrease in accumulated net realized gain
on investments of $1,303,096.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $74,437,895 and $74,139,089, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $35,182 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $3,089,000 and $1,799,500,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $72,484,827. Net unrealized appreciation aggregated
$11,367,238, of which $12,179,159 related to appreciated investment
securities and $811,921 related to depreciated investment securities.
The fund hereby designates $3,913,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity Select Software and Computer
Services Portfolio on July 29, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3%
sales charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to
$45,533 - a 355.33% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the
S&P 500, which would have grown to $32,299 over the same period - a
222.99% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Arieh Coll,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Software
and Computer Services Portfolio
Q. ARIEH, HOW HAS THE FUND PERFORMED?
A. For the year ended February 28, 1994, the fund had a total return of
33.19%. That beat the S&P 500, which returned 8.33% for the same
period.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND COME OUT AHEAD?
A. Avoiding losses was one factor. In the early spring of 1993, the fund
was invested very defensively and did well when technology stocks fell
back. Investing defensively meant buying some foreign stocks as well as
domestic stocks that had already come down and were therefore less likely
to deteriorate further. In the summer, there was a second, more mild
correction for the sector, which I had anticipated. Building up the fund's
cash level and investing defensively before that correction again helped
insulate the fund from the downturn.
Q. WHAT WAS THE OTHER FACTOR?
A. After each of those two corrections, I focused on buying the stocks of
companies I thought were fast growing. The computer networker Cisco
Systems, for example, was one of the fund's top performers. I was able to
buy it at a relatively inexpensive price after both corrections. I also
found opportunities among otherwise solid stocks that suffered sharp,
temporary setbacks. Informix, a database company, was an example of a
company that fell last spring on false rumors, a common occurrence in the
technology sector.
Q. WHY HAVE YOU AVOIDED MANY OF THE MAINFRAME COMPANIES?
A. Because there's a secular move away from mainframes to a world where
personal computers are networked with one another. Building the
infrastructure needed to network requires all sorts of technology -
routers, hubs, adapter cards. I've focused on companies like Cabletron
Systems, 3Com and Wellfleet that sell this type of equipment. The move to
networks is the predominant theme for the fund, and several of its
best-performing stocks came from this area.
Q. HAVE YOU BOUGHT MANY FOREIGN COMPANIES WHICH COULD BENEFIT FROM THE MOVE
AWAY FROM MAINFRAMES?
A. U.S. companies dominate the field and there really aren't that many
overseas investments of this type. One exception is the Canadian-based SHL
Systemhouse, which essentially is a systems integrator/consulting firm. SHL
helps companies that rely on mainframes transition to a network-based
architecture.
Q. LOOKING BACK, IS THERE ANYTHING YOU REGRET?
A. Sure, I made some mistakes. Synoptics was one disappointment. The
company is a leader in the intelligent hub market - which means they're a
central point of control to manage local area networks (LANs). I
over-estimated its revenue growth since backlogged orders proved to be a
poor indicator of the health of the company's business. Much of the
backlog was based on double- ordering from customers, a common practice
with technology products. Distributors were afraid they wouldn't get the
amount of product they needed on a timely basis, so they double-ordered in
the hopes they'd get the minimum. Once the company was able to meet orders,
the backlog disappeared, earnings estimates fell, and the stock dropped. I
eliminated the stock from the fund in the spring.
Q. IN YOUR VIEW, WILL THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR CONTINUE TO BE VOLATILE?
A. Most likely. There are a lot of speculative investors in technology
stocks, and that causes the sector to go through some psychological traumas
from time to time. The sector historically has had one very large
correction during the year. In 1993, it happened in early spring, but this
year I believe it will be fairly clear sailing until the summer. If I do
anticipate a correction, I'd probably raise the fund's cash level somewhat
and get more defensive, much as I have in previous corrections. And I would
use a downturn as an opportunity to buy some of the growing companies I
like at less expensive prices. But it's important to remember that
technology has been one of the fastest growing industries in the world, and
its long-term prospects - despite some temporary setbacks - seem to be
strong.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $13,841,831, a decrease in accumulated
net investment loss of $1,682,130 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized gain on investments of $15,523,961.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $604,996,895 and $618,326,233, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $136,866 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $2,693,550 and $2,764,000, respectively (see Note 6
of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $7,894,000 and $3,213,792,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.7% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 88.4%
Canada 5.4
Singapore 3.4
Hong Kong 1.9
Others (individually less than 1%) 0.9
TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $164,188,229. Net unrealized appreciation
aggregated $14,122,222, of which $20,811,704 related to appreciated
investment securities and $6,689,482 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $1,410,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED PAST 1 PAST 5 PAST 10

TECHNOLOGY 35.62% 195.34% 166.48%

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 31.55% 186.48% 158.49%
S&P 500 8.33% 89.60% 321.84%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or ten years. You
can compare these figures to the performance of the S&P 500 - a common
proxy for the U.S. stock market. This benchmark includes reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any.

(INCL. 3% SALES CHARGE) 31.55% 23.43% 9.96%
S&P 500 8.33% 13.65% 15.48%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

investment would have grown to $25,849 - a 158.49% increase. That compares
to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500, which would have grown to $42,184
over the same period - a 321.84% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Harry Lange,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Technology
Portfolio
Q. HARRY, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. The fund had a total return of 35.62% for the 12 months ended February
28, 1994. That easily outdistanced the S&P 500, which returned 8.33%
during the same period.
Q. WHAT ACCOUNTED FOR THE STRONG NUMBERS?
A. Technology stocks of many types fell under the Wall Street spotlight
this past year, and they didn't disappoint. Speculation surrounding the
roles technology companies would play in the building of the information
superhighway pushed up stock prices. In addition, the enormous growth of
personal computers triggered gains in the stocks of computer-related
industries. The fund did well by focusing on datacommunications companies,
especially those that manufacture computer networking equipment.
Q. WHAT'S THE STORY BEHIND THE NETWORKING COMPANIES?
A. Not only are PCs exploding in the workplace, but a bigger portion of
them are being tied together through local area networks, or LANs. The
companies that sell the building blocks for these networks - hubs, routers
and the like - experienced tremendous growth last year. Datacommunications
companies like Cisco and Cabletron - both among the fund's top 10
investments at the end of February - helped the fund in 1993. In addition,
when businesses set up these networks, they need software. Database
software companies like Oracle and Informix were there to fill the need. In
late fall, I cut back a bit on the fund's investment in these networking
and software stocks. I still believed strongly in their business prospects,
but their stock prices compared to other measures like earnings had gotten
high enough to make me a bit nervous.
Q. WHERE DID YOU TURN YOUR ATTENTION?
A. I worked to broaden the fund's investments to take better advantage of
the boom in PCs. I added computer manufacturers Compaq and IBM - the fund's
top two names on February 28 - as well as several semiconductor companies.
IBM was a classic American business turnaround story. The company's
technology has always been solid, but now new management appears serious
about cutting costs. The stock rose steadily through the fall. Although it
has stalled a bit in 1994, I still feel good about the company's comeback.
Meanwhile, I can't say enough good things about Compaq. The company has
emerged as the leading low-cost PC producer, and has increased its market
share by 50% over the past year. The stock has risen dramatically, and I
think there's potential for more solid growth in '94.
Q. WHAT ABOUT SEMICONDUCTORS?
A. The increased demand for PCs, and the need for computers with better
memory capacity, have done wonders for the semiconductor industry. This
year, Intel is issuing its new state-of-the-art microprocessor, the
Pentium, which I think could set the company apart from its competition.
Texas Instruments and Advanced Micro Devices are two more companies that
should benefit from the need for more semiconductors.
Q. DID ANY INVESTMENTS NOT GO YOUR WAY?
A. Sure. Although it helped to avoid health-care stocks for most of the
year, I consider many of them to be suitable investments for the fund.
Pharmaceutical companies, in particular, benefit significantly from
technological advances and improvements. By late fall, I felt many of the
drug companies had been beaten up so badly they were primed for a rebound.
So I invested about 10% of the fund in drug firms like Pfizer,
Warner-Lambert and Schering-Plough. However, my timing was poor. Fears that
these companies would lose the ability to raise prices under health-care
reform continued to keep investors away. I had sold most of the fund's
health-care investment by the end of January.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS?
A. The PC market is the key to performance for many stocks in the fund.
That said, I see no signs of a slowdown in the demand for PCs and related
equipment, which makes me optimistic about the next several months. Taken
separately, computer manufacturers, networkers, software producers, and
semiconductor manufacturers are very volatile groups. By diversifying the
fund into all of these areas, I hope to limit downside potential should
there be a market correction.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect a decrease in paid in capital of $50,851,723, a decrease in
accumulated net investment loss of $4,483,576 and a decrease in accumulated
net realized loss on investments of $46,368,147.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $366,833,149 and $326,571,291, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance: total
percentage change in value, the average annual percentage change, or the
growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each performance figure
includes changes in a fund's share price, plus reinvestment of any
dividends (income) and capital gains (the profits the fund earns when it
sells stocks that have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one year, five years, or since the fund
started on July 29, 1985. You can compare these figures to the performance
of the S&P 500 - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's actual (or cumulative) return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. The stock market, for
example, has a history of growth in the long run
and volatility in the short run. Unlike the broader
market, however, some sectors may not have
a history of growth in the long run. And, as
with all stock funds, the share price and return
of a fund that invests in a sector will vary. That
means if you sell your shares during a sector
downturn, you might lose money. But if you
can identify a sector that is about to
experience rapid growth you may have the
potential for above-average gains.

Portfolio on July 29, 1985, when the fund started, and paid a 3% sales
charge. By February 28, 1994, your investment would have grown to $45,920 -
a 359.20% increase. That compares to $10,000 invested in the S&P 500,
which would have grown to $32,299 over the same period - a 222.99%
increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
Fergus Shiel,
Portfolio Manager of
Fidelity Select
Telecommunications
Portfolio
Q. FERGUS, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Quite well. For the year ending February 28, 1994, the fund had a total
return of 21.90%. This was more than double the 8.33% return of the S&P
500.
Q. WHILE THE FUND HAD A SOLID YEAR OVERALL, ITS PERFORMANCE FELL
DRAMATICALLY IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS. WHAT HAPPENED?
A. Telecommunications stocks corrected this fall, after hitting their peak
near the end of October. Up until this time, investors, spurred on by media
coverage of the information superhighway, were pouring money into
telecommunication stocks. The information superhighway promised to provide
Americans with multimedia technology at home by combining telephone,
television, and computer services. The market corrected because many
investors realized that the technology and capital needed for this kind of
multimedia product were at least several years away.
Q. HAVE YOU CHANGED YOUR INVESTMENT STRATEGY IN LIGHT OF THIS MARKET
CORRECTION?
A. Not really. I've been leery of "hyped" stocks that promised rewards from
future technology all year. While I did own some speculative stocks, I took
a more conservative path. I invested in companies that were positioned to
take advantage of upcoming technological changes but also focused on making
money now. For instance, I invested in Motorola, which makes several
products crucial to today's cellular industry. Cellular subscribers grew
about 40% in the U.S. this year, and more overseas. Motorola is well
positioned for future technological changes in a market that could grow
even more dramatically over the next year.
Q. A LARGE PART OF THE FUND'S INVESTMENT IS IN REGIONAL BELL OPERATING
COMPANIES, OR RBOCS. WHY DO THESE STOCKS CONTINUE TO LOOK GOOD?
A. I like RBOCs because they potentially offer growth plus dividends. In
fact, three of the fund's top stocks are RBOCs - Southwestern Bell,
Ameritech, and BellSouth. Each of these companies grew over 10% last year
and paid dividends of about 5%. Over the next year, I expect they could to
continue to expand their number of telephone lines and cut costs. I should
note that the fund has fewer investments in RBOCs than it did a year ago.
That's because many of them are acquiring companies that could slow their
earnings growth.
Q. RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE ABOUT 26% OF THE FUND IN FOREIGN STOCKS. WHERE ARE
YOU INVESTING?
A. Mostly in Canada and developing countries. Canadian cable companies,
like Rogers Communication - a cable, cellular, and long-distance company -
have had a great year. In the past, the Canadian government strictly
regulated cable companies, but over the last few years they've relaxed
restrictions. Now, Canadian cable companies can offer a broader range of
services and charge for them. As a result, they have been seeing solid
profits. I also have a sizable investment in Telefonos de Mexico and in two
Argentinian telephone companies, Telephonica Argentina and Telecom
Argentina. Phone companies in developing countries like these are adding
telephone lines much faster than companies in developed areas such as the
United States or Europe. In addition, since there are fewer existing phone
lines, each line typically generates high revenues. This further boosts
earnings for these phone companies.
Q. WHERE DO YOU SEE THE SECTOR AND THE FUND HEADING OVER THE NEXT YEAR?
A. I think the telecommunications industry may be positioned to do well. As
a result of technological advancements in the industry, the cost of phone
service is down, but usage is up. In general, the amount of money companies
make from higher usage can strongly outweigh the effects of price drops.
The wild card in this situation is regulation. As long as the government
doesn't regulate the telecommunications industry, I think it can thrive.
Prices could stay low because of competition, and people would invest more
money, resulting in a win-win situation for both telecommunications
companies and consumers. However, if government regulations increase, it
could negatively affect telecommunications stocks.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been restated to reflect
an increase in paid in capital of $27,655,078, a decrease in undistributed
net investment income of $2,334,320 and a decrease in accumulated net
realized gain on investments of $25,320,758.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $949,256,011 and $783,432,752, respectively.
The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage
firms which are affiliates of Fidelity Management & Research Company.
The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $326,700 for the period
(see Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements).
At the period end, the value of securities loaned and the value of
collateral amounted to $11,733,763 and $11,179,700, respectively (see Note
6 of Notes to Financial Statements).
The maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the periods for
which loans were outstanding amounted to $51,745,000 and $36,417,000,
respectively. The weighted average interest rate paid was 3.6% (see Note 7
of Notes to Financial Statements).
Distribution of investments by country, as a percentage of total value of
investment in securities, is as follows:
United States 74.4%
Mexico 5.5
Canada 5.2
United Kingdom 3.2
Argentina 2.9
Italy 2.2
Brazil 2.0
Finland 1.5
Netherlands 1.2
Japan 1.1

TOTAL 100.0%
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the aggregate cost of investment securities for
income tax purposes was $372,868,420. Net unrealized depreciation
aggregated $2,504,616, of which $18,143,193 related to appreciated
investment securities and $20,647,809 related to depreciated investment
securities.
The fund hereby designates $14,448,000 as a capital gain dividend for the
purpose of the dividend paid deduction.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE
PERFORMANCE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either total
return or yield. Total return reflects both the change in a fund's share
price over a given period, and reinvestment of its dividends (or income).
Yield measures the income paid by a fund. Since a money market fund tries
to maintain a $1 share price, yield is an important measure of performance.

Average All Taxable
Money Market Fund 2.69% 30.56% 63.67%
Consumer Price Index 2.52% 20.64% 35.83%
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS reflect actual performance over a specific period.
In this case, past one year, five years, or since the fund started on
August 30, 1985. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a fund that had a
5% return over the past year, you would end up with $1,050. Comparing the
fund's performance to the consumer price index helps show how your
investment did compared to inflation. To measure how the fund stacked up
against its peers, you can compare its return to the average taxable money
market fund's total return. This average currently reflects the performance
of 644 money market funds tracked by IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
REPORT.(Registered trademark) (The periods covered by the CPI numbers are
the closest available match to those covered by the fund.)

YIELD refers to the income paid by the fund over a given period. Yields for
money market funds are usually for seven-day periods, expressed as annual
percentage rates. A yield that assumes income earned is reinvested or
compounded is called an effective yield. The chart above shows the fund's
current seven-day yield at quarterly intervals over the past year. This is
compared to similar yields for the average all taxable money market fund
and the average bank money market deposit account (MMDA). Figures for the
average taxable money market fund are from the IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
REPORT.(Registered trademark) The MMDA average is supplied by BANK RATE
MONITOR.(double dagger)
COMPARING PERFORMANCE
There are some important differences between
a bank money market deposit account (MMDA)
and a money market fund. First, the U.S.
government neither insures nor guarantees a
money market fund. In fact, there is no
assurance that a money fund will maintain a $1
share price. Second, a money market fund
returns to its shareholders income earned by the
fund's investments after expenses. This is in
contrast to banks, which set their MMDA rates
periodically based on current interest rates,
competitors' rates, and internal criteria.

MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
John Todd,
Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Select Money
Market Portfolio
Q. JOHN, HOW HAVE SHORT-TERM INTEREST RATES BEHAVED WITHIN THE PAST SIX
MONTHS?
A. Short-term rates moved within a narrow range from the end of August
through the end of October. During this time, the Federal Reserve felt
comfortable maintaining a steady monetary policy. The federal funds rate -
the rate banks charge each other for overnight loans - remained at or near
3%, where it had been since September 1992. Through September and into
October, market interest rates generally fell. I kept the fund's average
maturity on the long side - 70 to 80 days - because I'd been locking in
higher yields while they were still available. Then in November, two
factors caused me to shorten the fund's average maturity. First, stronger
economic data were causing forecasts of fourth quarter growth to be revised
upward. Scaling back the average maturity provided me greater flexibility
to respond to future rate changes. Second, year-end pressures were inching
up yields. As often happens in December, issuers are forced to offer more
attractive yields on debt instruments with maturities that extend into the
new year. Shortening the fund's average maturity to 64 days by the end of
November allowed me to take advantage of this buying opportunity.
Q. YOU THEN ROLLED BACK THE AVERAGE MATURITY TO 55 DAYS BY THE END OF
JANUARY. WHY?
A. I felt that the economy had more momentum than many people thought, and
that inflation fears would soon play more of a role in the short-term
market. The fourth quarter economic numbers turned out to be strong. In
addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan implied again in public
testimony that a rise in short-term rates was inevitable. All of this
caused me to shorten the fund's average maturity through January. Then on
February 4, the Fed raised the fed funds rate a quarter of a point to
3.25%, the first hike in short-term interest rates in five years.
Q. WHAT DID THE FED'S TIGHTENING OF MONETARY POLICY MEAN TO THE FUND?
A. Because I had shortened the average maturity through January, the fund
was pretty well prepared. My neutral stance allowed me to capture some of
the higher-yielding instruments that came to market after the rate
increase. That caused the average maturity to extend to 64 days by the end
of February.
Q. GIVEN THOSE CONDITIONS, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Despite February's rate hike, the fund's seven-day yield was 2.45% on
February 28, 1994. That's down slightly from a year ago, when the yield was
2.88%. The similarity of these numbers reflects a year of mostly stable
interest rates. The fund's total return for the 12 months ended February 28
was 2.62%. The average total return for all taxable money funds tracked by
IBC/Donoghue was 2.69% during the same period.
Q. HOW DO YOU SEE THE NEXT SIX MONTHS SHAPING UP?
A. Since inflation doesn't appear to be a serious threat, I don't expect
the Fed to raise interest rates quickly and sharply. Instead, I anticipate
a policy of measured, gradual moves to push rates in an upward direction. I
plan to keep the fund's average maturity in the 55 to 70 day range. That
will give me the flexibility to respond to rising rates, while allowing me
to capture a portion of the higher yields available from issues with longer
maturities. In addition, the fund had a 15.9% stake in variable and
floating rate securities at the end of February. I'll probably keep the
fund at about that level, or higher, based on the availability of
attractively priced issues.
Q. HOW DO VARIABLE RATE INSTRUMENTS WORK?
A. Variable and floating rate instruments generally have longer stated
maturities. That requires a longer-term commitment to the issuer, which
results in a somewhat higher yield for the buyer. The advantage comes in
the form of stated, periodic interest rate resets. The frequency of these
resets can be negotiated - for example, they often happen weekly, monthly
or quarterly. When rates are rising, the fund can obtain a higher stated
interest rate on these issues at their reset intervals.

OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the fund adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the fund changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
Accordingly, amounts as of February 28, 1993 have been reclassified to
reflect an increase in paid in capital and an increase in accumulated net
realized loss of $5,258.
INCOME TAX INFORMATION
At February 28, 1994, the fund had a capital loss carryforward of
approximately $65,000 of which $2,000, $31,000, $5,000 $21,000 and $6,000
will expire on February 28, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2002, respectively.

Fidelity Select Portfolios (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. The trust
has thirty-five equity funds (the fund or the funds) which invest primarily
in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within
specific industries, and a money market fund which invests in high quality
money market instruments. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited
number of shares. The American Gold Portfolio and the Precious Metals and
Minerals Portfolio may also invest in certain precious metals. The
following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION:
EQUITY FUNDS. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith following consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within
sixty days are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued
interest, both of which approximate current value. Direct investments in
precious metals in the form of bullion are valued at the most recent bid
price quoted by a major bank on the New York Commodities Exchange.
MONEY MARKET FUND. As permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, and
certain conditions therein, securities are valued initially at cost and
thereafter assume a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or
premium.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of each fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in each
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for the fiscal
year. The schedules of investments include information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME:
EQUITY FUNDS. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except
certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may
have passed, are recorded as soon as the funds are informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Dividend and interest income is
recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
MONEY MARKET FUND. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium
and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income for the money market fund. Distributions
are recorded on the ex-dividend date, for all other funds.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting
principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for
partnerships, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, expiring capital
loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax
regulations. The funds also utilized earnings and profits distributed to
shareholders on redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid
deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax basis differences
relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to
paid in capital.
REDEMPTION FEES. Shares redeemed (including exchanges) from an equity fund
are subject to redemption fees. Shares held less than 30 days are subject
to a short-term redemption fee equal to .75% of the net asset value of
shares redeemed. Shares held 30 days or more are subject to a long-term
redemption fee equal to the lesser of $7.50 or .75% of the net asset value
of shares redeemed. The long-term redemption fee and the first $7.50 of the
short-term redemption fee are accounted for as a reduction of transfer
agent expenses. This portion of the redemption fee is used to offset the
transaction costs and other expenses that short-term trading imposes on
each fund and its shareholders. The remainder of the short-term redemption
fee is accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Effective March 1,
1993, the funds adopted Statement of Position 93-2: Determination,
Disclosure, and Financial Statement Presentation of Income, Capital Gain,
and Return of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies. As a result,
the funds changed the classification of distributions to shareholders to
better disclose the differences between financial statement amounts and
distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. The
effect of the change in classification is shown under the caption "Other
Information" on each fund's schedule of investments.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The equity funds may enter into forward
foreign currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess
of the amount reflected in each fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure
each fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value
of forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The funds, through their custodian, receive delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The funds' investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the funds, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the funds, along with other registered investment companies having
management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund lending
program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the
funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell securities on
a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Payment and delivery may take
place a month or more after the date of the transaction. 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. Each fund
identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value
at least equal to the amount of the purchase commitment.
INDEXED SECURITIES. The funds may invest in indexed securities whose value
is linked either directly or inversely to changes in foreign currencies,
interest rates, commodities, indices, or other reference instruments.
Indexed securities may be more volatile than the reference instrument
itself, but any loss is limited to the amount of the original investment.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Biotechnology Portfolio and Money Market
Portfolio are permitted to invest in privately placed restricted
securities. These securities 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. At the end of the
period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted to
$1,093,750 and $20,000,000 or 0.2% and 3.9% of the net assets of the
Biotechnology Portfolio and Money Market Portfolio, respectively.
3. JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT.
At the end of the period, the following funds had 20% or more of their
total investments in repurchase agreements through a joint trading account.
These repurchase agreements were with entities whose creditworthiness has
been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. The repurchase agreements were
dated February 28, 1994 and due March 1, 1994. The maturity values of the
joint trading account investments were $4,060,391 for Defense and Aerospace
Portfolio, $20,607,986 for Electronics Portfolio, $52,236,034 for
Industrial Materials Portfolio, $56,325,429 for Medical Delivery Portfolio,
and $50,610,878 for Home Finance Portfolio, all at 3.47%. The investments
in repurchase agreements through the joint trading account are summarized
as follows:
SUMMARY OF JOINT TRADING
Number of dealers or banks 24
Maximum amount with one dealer or bank 12.7%
Aggregate principal amount of agreements $18,432,895,000
Aggregate maturity amount of agreements $18,434,670,665
Aggregate market value of collateral $18,922,724,282
Coupon rates of collateral 3% to 15.75%
Maturity dates of collateral 3/10/94 to 8/15/23
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly
fee.
For each equity fund, the monthly fee is calculated on the basis of a group
fee rate plus a fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net
assets of each fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series
of rates ranging from .30% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net
assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund
fee rate is .30%. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an
annual rate of .63% of average net assets for each equity funds.
On December 12, 1991, the Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate
schedule with rates ranging from .30% to .52%. Effective January 1, 1992,
FMR voluntarily agreed to implement the new group fee rate schedule as it
resulted in the same or a lower management fee. On February 17, 1993, the
shareholders of Home Finance Portfolio approved an amended management
contract containing revised group fee rate schedule. Natural Gas Portfolio
commenced operations on April 21, 1993 and has a management contract which
includes that revised group fee rate schedule. Effective November 1, 1993
FMR has voluntarily agreed to implement a new group fee rate schedule with
rates ranging from .2850% to .5200%. New management contracts with this
revised group fee rate schedule for the equity funds were approved by
shareholders on
February 16, 1994.
For the money market fund, FMR receives a monthly fee that is computed
daily at an annual rate of 4% of that portion of gross income that
represents a gross yield of 5% or less and an annual rate of 6% of that
portion of gross income that represents a gross yield in excess of 5%. For
this purpose, gross income excludes realized gains and losses, if any. The
amount of the monthly management fee paid by the money market fund is
limited to a maximum annualized rate of .50% of the money market fund's
average net assets. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to an
annual rate of .13% of average net assets.
On February 16, 1994, the shareholders of the money market fund voted to
approve a proposal to amend the management contract. The new management fee
will be composed of a basic fund fee rate of .03% of the fund's average net
assets, plus a fixed income group fee that varies depending on FMR's total
assets under management, and an income based fee. The income based fee is
added only when the fund's yield exceeds 5%. At that time the fee would
equal 6% of that portion of the fund's gross income that represents a gross
yield of more than 5% per year. The maximum income-based component is 0.24%
(annualized) of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the money market fund's investment sub- adviser, FMR
Texas Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR, receives a fee from FMR of
50% of the management fee payable to FMR. The fee is paid prior to any
voluntary expense reimbursements which may be in effect, and after reducing
the fee for any payments by FMR pursuant to the fund's Distribution and
Service Plan.
SALES LOAD. Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of FMR,
is the general distributor of each fund. FDC is paid a 3% sales charge on
sales of shares of each fund. Prior to October 12, 1990, FDC was paid a 2%
sales charge and a 1% deferred sales charge. Shares purchased before
October 12, 1990 are subject to the deferred sales charge upon redemption
or exchange to any other Fidelity fund (other than Select funds). The
amounts received by FDC for sales charges and deferred sales charges are
shown under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's Statement of
Operations.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the
funds' transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC
receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of
transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the funds' accounting
records and administers their security lending program. The security
lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.
The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the
month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
EXCHANGE FEES. FSC charges an exchange fee of $7.50 to cover administrative
costs associated with exchanges out of an equity fund to any other Fidelity
Select fund or to any other Fidelity fund. The exchange fees retained by
FSC are shown under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's
Statement of Operations.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Each equity fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption
"Other Information" on each fund's schedule of investments.
5. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM.
Certain funds participated in the interfund lending program as a borrower.
The maximum loan, average daily loan balances and the weighted average
interest rates, during the periods for which loans were outstanding are as
follows:
AVERAGE WEIGHTED
MAXIMUM DAILY AVERAGE
LOAN LOAN BALANCE INTEREST RATE
Financial Services
Portfolio $18,120,000 $ 5,321,125 3.4%
Regional Banks Portfolio $15,419,000 $11,209,500 3.6%
Technology Portfolio $24,687,000 $24,687,000 3.6%
Interest expense includes $3,989, $2,236 and $2,481 paid under the
interfund lending program for Financial Services Portfolio, Regional Banks
Portfolio and Technology Portfolio, respectively.
6. SECURITY LENDING.
Certain equity funds loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund
negotiated lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. Each
fund receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against
the loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market
value of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This
collateral must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of
the loaned securities during the period of the loan. At the period end, the
value of the securities loaned and the value of collateral held are shown
under the caption "Other Information" on each fund's schedule of
investments.
7. BANK BORROWINGS.
Each fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency
purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has established
borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Under the most restrictive
arrangement, each fund must pledge to the bank securities having a market
value in excess of 220% of the total bank borrowings. The interest rate on
the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time to time. At
the period end, the maximum loan and average daily loan balances during the
periods for which loans were outstanding are shown under the caption "Other
Information" on each fund's schedule of investments.
8. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily limits expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses of each fund to 2.5% of average net
assets. In addition, FMR has agreed to reimburse each fund in accordance
with a state expense limitation if, and to the extent that the total
operating expenses of each fund, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions and extraordinary expenses, are in excess of specified
percentages of the average net assets of the fund for its fiscal year.
Therefore, the lowest limitation applicable to the fund is either 2.5% of
average net assets or 2.5% of the first $30 million of average net assets,
2% of the next $70 million and 1.5% of the excess. FMR retains the ability
to be repaid by a fund for these expense reimbursements in the amount that
the expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. The
reimbursement amounted to $48,710 and $13,001 for Defense and Aerospace
Portfolio and Consumer Products Portfolio, respectively.
FMR directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a portion of the
funds' expenses. The amount of reduction of expenses for each fund
(excluding Defense and Aerospace Portfolio and Consumer Products Portfolio)
is shown on each fund's Statement of Operations. For the period, the
aggregate reductions totalled $568,892.
9. MERGERS.
Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the
shareholders of Electric Utilities Portfolio at a meeting held on February
16, 1994, Utilities Portfolio acquired substantially all of the assets of
the Electric Utilities Portfolio on February 25, 1994. The acquisition was
accomplished by a tax-free exchange of assets of Electric Utilities
Portfolio in exchange for 458,728 shares of Utilities Portfolio (valued at
$36.36 per share). Electric Utilities Portfolio's net assets at that date
(valued at $16,679,364, including $1,838,111 of unrealized appreciation
were combined with those of Utilities Portfolio. The aggregate net assets
of Utilities Portfolio and Electric Utilities Portfolio immediately before
the acquisition were $233,107,469 and $16,679,364, respectively.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees and the Shareholders of Fidelity Select Portfolios:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments (except for Moody's and Standard
& Poor's ratings), 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 each of the thirty-six funds
constituting Fidelity Select Portfolios at February 28, 1994, the results
of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods indicated in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of
Fidelity Select Portfolios' 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 generally accepted
auditing standards which 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 owned at February 28, 1994 by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers and the application of alternative auditing
procedures where confirmations from brokers were not received, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
Dividend and capital gain distributions will be taxable regardless of
whether you take them in cash or in additional shares. You will be notified
at a later date as to the tax treatment of these distributions and
dividends. Since each fund's distribution and dividend are reportable for
tax purposes, the receipt of additional shares does not affect the basic
cost of the original shares owned. For federal tax purposes, these
additional shares are treated as though you purchased them at the net asset
value applicable to these shares at the 10:00 A.M. opening price on each
fund's ex-date. (See Reinvestment Price above.)
NOTE: IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS A FIDELITY PROTOTYPE RETIREMENT PLAN SUCH AS AN
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA), A KEOGH PLAN, A 403(B), OR A QUALIFIED
PENSION OR PROFIT SHARING PLAN, THE ABOVE DATA IS PROVIDED FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT REPORTABLE FOR TAX PURPOSES IN 1994.

LEGEND
TOTAL RETURNS include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends
and capital gains. CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS do not reflect Select's 3%
sales charge. However, each Fund Update includes load-adjusted cumulative
total returns. AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS are load-adjusted. Average Annual
Returns assume a steady compounded rate of return and are not year-by-year
results, which fluctuated over the periods shown. LIFE OF FUND figures are
from commencement of operations to February 28, 1994.
Figures for the S&P 500(Registered trademark), an unmanaged index of
common stock prices, include reinvestment of dividends. S&P 500 is
registered trademark of Standard & Poor's Corporation.
If the advisor had not reimbursed certain expenses for some of the funds
during the periods shown, those funds' returns would have been lower.
Consumer Products and Defense and Aerospace received reimbursement for the
year ended February 28, 1994. Expense reimbursements may be revised at any
time, at which time the fund's return will decline.
All performance numbers are historical; each equity fund's share price and
return will vary and shareholders may have a gain or loss when they sell
their shares.
DISTRIBUTIONS
The fiscal year end for Fidelity Select Portfolios recently changed from
April to February. Consequently, in 1993 distribution dates changed from
June and December to April and December.
VOLATILITY
Volatility measures the variability of a return from its mean, in terms of
STANDARD DEVIATIONS. (Standard deviation measures the variation from the
mean for a series of numbers.) Measures of volatility are based on
historical performance and seek to compare each fund's relative share price
fluctuations or total returns compared to the S&P 500. (Volatility
measures are not calculated for funds which are less than three years old.)
Volatility measures are given to investors to assist in determining the
historical risk versus return relationship between the fund and a benchmark
index. THE CALCULATIONS ARE NOT MEANT TO PREDICT PERFORMANCE and may change
quickly as fund composition and company fundamentals change.
A fund's RELATIVE VOLATILITY is a ratio that compares the fund's volatility
to the volatility of a benchmark index, such as the S&P 500. By
definition, the S&P 500 has a relative volatility of 1.0. A fund with a
relative volatility greater than 1.0 has had returns that have been more
variable than those returns of the benchmark index, while a fund with a
relative volatility less than 1.0 would have had less volatility than the
benchmark index.
MEDIAN PRICE/SALES
This figure represents the median price-to-sales ratio for all the stocks
in a fund on a given date. A stock's price-to-sales ratio compares the
company's market value with its total revenue. The ratio is calculated by
dividing the stock price by the most recent 12 months' revenues per share.
All price-to-sales ratios are from company 10Q filings. Excluded from the
median price/sales calculations are foreign companies without ADRs
(American Depository Receipts), IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) and certain
financial companies. As a result, figures are not available for Home
Finance and Precious Metals and Minerals.
MEDIAN PRICE/BOOK
This figure represents the median price-to-book ratio of all the stocks in
a fund on a given date. A stock's price-to-book ratio compares the
company's market value with its book value or net asset value. The ratio is
calculated by dividing the stock price by the book value per share. All
price-to-book ratios are from company 10Q filings. Excluded from the median
price/book calculations are foreign companies without ADRs and certain
financial companies.

WHO MAY WANT TO INVEST
The stock funds may be appropriate for investors who want to pursue growth
aggressively by concentrating their investment on domestic and foreign
securities within an industry or group of industries. The funds are
designed for those who are interested in actively monitoring the progress
of, and can accept the risks of, industry-focused investing. Because the
funds are so narrowly focused, changes in a particular industry can have a
substantial impact on a fund's share price. Also, because most of the funds
are non-diversified, changes in the value of one company's securities can
significantly affect a fund's performance.
The money market fund may be appropriate for investors who would like to
earn income at current money market rates while preserving the value of
their investment. The fund is managed to keep its share price stable at
$1.00. The money market fund is designed for use in connection with
exchanges between the stock funds. Since this money market fund is sold
with a sales charge, it is not recommended that you invest in the money
market fund unless you intend to use it for that purpose.
By themselves, these funds do not constitute a balanced investment plan.
The value of the stock funds' investments will vary from day to day,
generally reflecting changes in market and industry conditions, interest
rates, and other political and economic news. When you sell your stock fund
shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. The
rate of income for the money market fund will vary from day to day
generally reflecting short-term interest rates.
EXPENSES
SHAREHOLDER TRANSACTION EXPENSES are charges you pay when you buy or sell
shares of a fund. See pages P-50 to P-56 for an
explanation of how and when these charges apply. Lower sales charges may be
available for accounts over $250,000.
Maximum sales charge on purchases (as a % of offering price) 3.00%
Maximum sales charge on reinvested dividends None
Deferred sales charge on redemptions None
Exchange fee (stock funds only) $7.50
Maximum r edemption fees (stock funds only)
on shares held 29 days or less (as a % of redemption amount) 0.75%
on shares held 30 days or more $7.50
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of each fund's assets. Each
fund pays management fees to FMR. Each fund also incurs other expenses for
services such as maintaining shareholder statements and financial
reports. Expenses are factored into each fund's share price or dividends
and are not charged directly to shareholder accounts (see page
P-46 ).
The operating expenses are projections based on historical expenses, and
are calculated as a percentage of average net assets. A portion of the
brokerage commissions that some of the funds paid was used to
reduce fund expenses. Without this reduction, the total fund operating
expenses for the funds would have been higher.
EXAMPLES. Let's say, hypothetically, that each fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as described. For every $1,000
you invested, the examples show how much you would have paid in total
expenses if you closed your account after the number of years indicated.
The examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.

PERFORMANCE
Mutual fund performance is commonly measured as TOTAL RETURN. The total
returns in this section are based on historical fund results and do not
reflect the effect of taxes.
The tables on pages to show the funds' performance over past fiscal years
compared to two measures: investment in a broad selection of stocks
(S&P 500), and not investing
at all (inflation, or CPI). Each fund's fiscal year runs from
March 1 through February 28 .

EXPLANATION OF TERMS
TOTAL RETURN is the change in value of an investment in a fund over a given
period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gains. A
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURN reflects actual performance over a stated period of
time. An AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN is a hypothetical rate of return that,
if achieved annually, would have produced the same cumulative total return
if performance had been constant over the entire period. Average annual
total returns smooth out variations in performance; they are not the same
as actual year-by-year results. Average annual total returns covering
periods of less than one year assume that performance will remain constant
for the rest of the year.
THE S&P 500(Registered trademark) is the Standard & Poor's 500
Composite Stock Price Index, a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common
stock prices. The S&P 500 figures assume reinvestment of all dividends
paid by stocks included in the index. They do not, however, include any
allowance for the brokerage commissions or other fees you would pay if you
actually invested in those stocks.
THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX is a widely recognized measure of inflation
calculated by the U.S. government.
YIELD, for the money market fund, refers to the income generated by an
investment in a fund over a given period of time, expressed as an annual
percentage rate. Yields are calculated according to a standard that is
required for all money market funds. When a yield assumes that income
earned is reinvested, it is called an EFFECTIVE YIELD.
Other illustrations of fund performance may show moving averages over
specific periods.
The funds' recent strategies, performance, and holdings are detailed twice
a year in fund reports, which are sent to all shareholders. For current
performance or a free annual report, call 1-800-544-8888.
TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS ARE BASED ON PAST RESULTS AND ARE NOT AN
INDICATION OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.
<r>THE FUNDS IN DETAIL</r>
CHARTER
THE FUNDS ARE MUTUAL FUNDS: investments that pool shareholders' money and
invest it toward a specified goal. In technical terms, each stock fund
(except Financial Services, Regional Banks, and Home Finance) is a
non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios, an open-end, management
investment company. The money market fund and the remaining stock funds are
diversified funds of the trust. The trust was organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on November 20, 1980.
EACH FUND MAY HOLD SPECIAL MEETINGS AND MAIL PROXY MATERIALS. These
meetings may be called to elect or remove trustees, change fundamental
policies, approve a management contract, or for other purposes.
Shareholders not attending these meetings are encouraged to vote by proxy.
Fidelity will mail proxy materials in advance, including a voting card and
information about the proposals to be voted on. The number of votes you are
entitled to is based on the dollar value of your investment.

handles their business affairs. Fidelity Management and Research (U.K.)
Inc. (FMR U.K.) and Fidelity Management & Research (Far East) Inc. (FMR

reduce custodian or transfer agent fees. FMR may use its broker-dealer
affiliates and other firms that sell fund shares to carry out a fund's
transactions, provided that the fund receives brokerage services and
commission rates comparable to those of other broker-dealers.
INVESTMENT PRINCIPLES AND RISKS
The stock funds seek capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity
securities, although they may invest in other types of instruments as well.
American Gold and Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolios can also invest
in precious metals. Each stock fund focuses its investments on a particular
industry, normally investing most of its assets in securities of companies
principally engaged in the business activities identified below. For most
of the stock funds, an issuer is considered principally engaged in a
business activity if at least 50% of its assets, gross income, or net
profits are committed to, or derived from, that activity. For Brokerage and
Investment Management and Financial Services Portfolios, an issuer is
considered principally engaged if it derives more than 15% of revenues or
profits from brokerage or investment management activities. The
stock funds' strateg ies can lead to investments in small
companies, which often involve more risk than larger companies. Securities
of small companies, especially those that base their business on emerging
products or concepts, may be volatile due to limited product lines,
markets, or financial resources. The funds invest in domestic and foreign
securities, including securities of emerging markets, which can be
considered speculative and experience more volatility than those of the
more developed nations.
Non-diversified funds may have greater investments in a single issuer than
diversified funds, so the performance of a single issuer can have a
substantial impact on a fund's share price. Additionally, since the stock
funds focus on specific industries, their prices may be more volatile than
those of more broadly diversified investments. Each fund's performance is
closely tied to its industry, as well as to the economy as a whole.
Securities in an industry often react similarly to market conditions, and
may move in unison. As a result, the narrower a fund's focus is, the more
volatile its performance is likely to be. In many cases, the focus of a
fund differs from another only slightly, so they may invest in many of the
same securities.
FMR may use various techniques to hedge a fund's risks, but there is no
guarantee that these strategies will work as FMR intends. When you sell
your shares in a stock fund, they may be worth more or less than what you
paid for them.
FMR normally invests each fund's assets according to its investment
strategy. When FMR considers it appropriate for defensive purposes,
however, each stock fund may temporarily invest substantially in
investment-grade debt securities.
AIR TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
regional, national and international movement of passengers, mail, and
freight via aircraft. Investments in this fund may include, for example,
the airlines, air cargo providers, or companies that provide equipment or
services to these companies.
Airline profitability is substantially influenced by competition within the
industry, domestic and foreign economies and government regulation, and the
price of fuel. Additionally, the industry is still feeling the effects of
deregulation.
AMERICAN GOLD PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
exploration, mining, processing, or dealing in gold, or, to a lesser
degree, in silver, platinum, diamonds, or other precious metals and
minerals. The fund focuses on North, Central, and South American companies
engaged in gold-related activities. This focus may also include gold
bullion or coins and securities indexed to the price of gold. The fund may
also invest in securities of companies which themselves invest in companies
engaged in these activities.
The price of gold and other precious metal mining securities can face
substantial short-term volatility caused by international monetary and
political developments such as currency devaluations or revaluations,
economic and social conditions within a country, or trade restrictions
between countries. Since much of the world's gold reserves are located in
South Africa, the social and economic conditions there can affect gold and
gold-related companies located elsewhere. The price of gold bullion or
coins is more affected by broad economic and political conditions.
FMR does not currently intend to purchase gold if, as a result, more than
25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in gold and gold-indexed
securities, and does not currently intend to purchase coins. Under current
federal tax law, gains from selling gold may not exceed 10% of the fund's
annual gross income. This tax requirement could cause the fund to hold or
sell bullion or securities when it would not otherwise do so.
AUTOMOTIVE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
manufacture, marketing, or sale of automobiles, trucks, specialty vehicles,
parts, tires, and related services . These companies may include, for
example, automobile manufacturers, distributors, and parts providers. The
fund may also invest in companies that provide services to automobile
manufacturers, distributors, or consumers.
The automotive industry is highly cyclical and companies in the industry
may suffer periodic operating losses. While most of the major manufacturers
are large, financially strong companies, some are smaller manufacturers
that have a non-diversified product line or customer base.
BIOTECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
research, development, scale up, and manufacture of various
biotechnological products, services, and processes. This may include, for
example, companies involved with new or experimental technologies such as
genetic engineering. The fund may also invest in companies that
manufacture, distribute, or benefit from biotechnological and biomedical
products, processes, or services.
FMR interprets the biotechnology sector broadly. For example, the fund may
invest in companies involved in applications and developments in such areas
as health care, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
Biotechnology companies are affected by patent considerations, intense
competition, rapid technological change and obsolescence, and regulatory
requirements. In addition, many of these companies may not offer products
yet and may have persistent losses or erratic revenue patterns.
BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO invests primarily in
companies engaged in stock brokerage, commodity brokerage, investment
banking, tax-advantaged investment or investment sales, investment
management, or related investment advisory services. The fund does not
invest in securities of FMR or its affiliated companies. Under SEC
regulations the fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the
securities of any company that derives more than 15% of its revenues from
brokerage or investment management activities.
Changes in regulations, brokerage commission structure, stock market
activity, and the competitive environment, combined with the operating
leverage inherent in companies in these industries, can produce erratic
returns over time.
CHEMICALS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the research,
development, manufacture, or marketing of products or services related to
the chemical process industries. These products may include, for example,
synthetic and natural materials, such as fertilizers, building materials,
and plastics. The fund may also hold the securities of companies providing
design, engineering, construction, and consulting services to companies
engaged in chemical processing.
Companies in the chemical processing field are subject to intense
competition, product obsolescence and significant governmental regulation.
As regulations are developed and enforced, such companies may be required
to alter or cease production of a product, to pay fines, or to pay for
cleaning up a disposal site. In addition, chemical companies face unique
risks associated with handling hazardous products.
COMPUTERS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in research,
design, development, manufacture or distribution of products, processes, or
services that relate to currently available or experimental hardware
technology within the computer industry. The fund may invest in companies
that provide products or services such as computer and office equipment
wholesalers, software retailers, data processors, and designers of
artificial intelligence.
Competitive pressures and changing domestic and international demand may
have a significant effect on the financial condition of companies in the
computer industry. Companies in the industry spend heavily on research and
development and are sensitive to the risk of product obsolescence.
CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged
in the design and construction of residential, commercial, industrial, and
public works facilities, as well as companies engaged in the manufacture,
supply, distribution, or sale of products or services to these construction
industries. Examples of companies engaged in these activities include
companies that produce basic building materials such as cement, supply home
furnishings, or provide engineering or contracting services. The fund also
may invest in companies involved in real estate development and
construction financing such as home builders, architectural and design
firms, and property managers, and in companies involved in the home
improvement and maintenance industry.
Companies in this industry are subject to a variety of factors such as
government spending on housing subsidies, public works, and transportation
facilities, as well as changes in interest rates, consumer confidence and
spending, taxation, demographic patterns, the level of new and existing
home sales, and other economic activity.
CONSUMER PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
manufacture and distribution of goods to consumers both domestically and
internationally. This may include, for example, companies that manufacture
or sell durable goods such as homes, cars, boats, major appliances, and
personal computers. It may also include companies that manufacture or sell
non-durable goods such as food or entertainment products, and companies
that provide services such as lodging or childcare.
The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is closely tied
to the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, and
consumer confidence. Success depends heavily on disposable household income
and consumer spending. Changes in demographics and consumer tastes can also
affect the demand for, and success of, consumer products in the
marketplace.
DEFENSE AND AEROSPACE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
the research, manufacture, or sale of products or services related to the
defense or aerospace industries . For example, the fund may invest in
companies involved in defense electronics, aircraft or spacecraft
production, missile design, data processing or computer-related services.
The financial condition of companies in the industry and investor interest
in these companies are heavily influenced by government defense and
aerospace spending policies. Defense spending is currently under pressure
from efforts to control the U.S. budget deficit.
DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged
in the development, manufacture, or sale of emerging communications
services or equipment. Emerging communications are those which derive from
new technologies or new applications of existing technologies. Examples of
the fund's investments may include companies involved in cellular
communications, software development, video conferencing or data
processing. The fund places less emphasis on traditional communications
companies such as large long distance carriers.
Products or services provided by this industry may be in the development
stage and can face risks such as failure to obtain financing or regulatory
approval, intense competition, product incompatibility, consumer
preferences, and rapid obsolescence.
ELECTRONICS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the design,
manufacture, or sale of electronic components (semiconductors, connectors,
printed circuit boards, and other components); equipment vendors to
electronic component manufacturers; electronic component distributors; and
electronic instruments and electronic systems vendors. This may include
companies involved in new technologies or specialty areas such as defense
electronics, advanced design and manufacturing technologies, or lasers.
Many of the products offered by companies engaged in the design,
production, or distribution of electronic products are subject to risks of
rapid obsolescence and intense competition.
ENERGY PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies in the energy field,
including the conventional areas of oil, gas, electricity, and coal, and
newer sources of energy such as nuclear, geothermal, oil shale, and solar
power. This may include, for example, companies that produce, transmit,
market, or measure energy, as well as companies involved in the exploration
of new sources of energy.
Securities of companies in the energy field are subject to changes in value
and dividend yield which depend largely on the price and supply of energy
fuels. Swift price and supply fluctuations may be caused by events relating
to international politics, energy conservation, the success of exploration
projects, and tax and other governmental regulatory policies.
ENERGY SERVICE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies in the energy
service field, including those that provide services and equipment to the
conventional areas of oil, gas, electricity, and coal, and newer sources of
energy such as nuclear, geothermal, oil shale, and solar power. Holdings
may include companies providing services such as onshore or offshore
drilling, or those involved in production and well maintenance, exploration
technology, energy transport or equipment and plant design or construction.
Energy service firms are affected by supply and demand both for their
specific product or service, and for energy products in general. The price
of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, governmental
regulation, world events and economic conditions will likewise affect the
performance of these companies.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
the research, development, manufacture, or distribution of products,
processes, or services related to waste management or pollution control.
The fund may invest in companies participating in pollution control through
methods such as packaging, disposal, and sanitation, companies that are
investigating new ways to protect the environment, and companies engaged in
design, construction, or consulting.
This industry can be impacted by legislation, government regulations, and
enforcement policies. As regulations are developed and enforced, companies
may be required to alter or cease production of a product or service. In
addition, hazardous materials may be involved, and companies can face
significant liability risk.
FINANCIAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies providing
financial services to consumers and industry. Examples of companies in the
financial services field include commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, brokerage companies, insurance companies, real estate and
leasing companies, and companies that span across these segments. Under SEC
regulations, the fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in
the securities of any company that derives more than 15% of its revenues
from brokerage or investment management activities.
Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental
regulation which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other
financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they
can charge. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost
of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates
change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers
can negatively impact the industry. Insurance companies may be subject to
severe price competition.
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
the manufacture, sale, or distribution of food and beverage products,
agricultural products, and products related to the development of new food
technologies. This may include, for example, companies that sell products
and services, such as, grocery stores, and restaurants, companies that
manufacture and distribute products such as soft drinks, and companies
engaged in the development of new technologies such as improved hybrid
seeds.
The success of the industry is closely tied to supply and demand, which may
be affected by demographic and product trends, or stimulated by food fads,
marketing campaigns, and environmental factors. In the U.S., the
agricultural products industry is subject to regulation by numerous
government agencies.
HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the design,
manufacture, or sale of products or services used for or in connection with
health care or medicine. Companies in the health care field may include,
for example, pharmaceutical companies, companies involved in research and
development, companies involved in the operation of health care facilities,
and other companies involved in the design, manufacture, or sale of related
products or services.
Many of these companies are subject to government regulation and approval
of their products and services, which could have a significant effect on
their price and availability. Furthermore, the types of products or
services produced or provided by these companies may quickly become
obsolete. The administration is currently examining the health care
industry to determine whether government funds are spent appropriately, and
to ensure that adequate health care is available to everyone.
HOME FINANCE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in investing
in real estate, usually through mortgages and other consumer-related loans.
These companies may also offer discount brokerage services, insurance
products, leasing services, and joint venture financing. This may include,
for example, mortgage banking companies, real estate investment trusts,
banks, and other depository institutions.
The residential real estate finance industry has changed rapidly over the
last decade and is expected to continue to change. Regulatory changes at
federally insured institutions, in response to a high failure rate, have
mandated higher capital ratios and more prudent underwriting. This reduced
capacity has created growth opportunities for uninsured companies and
secondary market products to fill unmet demand for home finance. Regulatory
changes, interest rate movements, home mortgage demand, and residential
delinquency trends will affect the industry.
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
the manufacture, distribution, or service of products and equipment for the
industrial sector, including integrated producers of capital equipment
(such as general industr ial machinery, farm equipment, and
computers), parts suppliers, and subcontractors. This may include, for
example, companies that manufacture products or service equipment for
trucks , construction, or machine tools .
The success of equipment manufacturing and distribution companies is
closely tied to overall capital spending levels, which is influenced by an
individual company's profitability, and broader issues such as interest
rates and foreign competition. The industry may also be affected by
economic cycles, technical progress, labor relations, and government
regulations.
INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
the manufacture, mining, processing, or distribution of raw materials and
intermediate goods used in the industrial sector. These materials and goods
may include, for example, chemicals, metals, and wood products. Investments
may also include mining, processing, transportation, and distribution
companies, including equipment suppliers and railroads.
Many companies in this sector are significantly affected by the level and
volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import
controls, and worldwide competition. At times, worldwide production of
these materials has exceeded demand as a result of over-building or
economic downturns, leading to poor investment returns or losses. Other
risks may include liability for environmental damage, depletion of
resources, and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.
INSURANCE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in underwriting,
reinsuring, selling, distributing, or placing of property and casualty,
life, or health insurance. Examples of the fund's investments may include
companies that provide a specific type of insurance, such as life or health
insurance, those that offer a variety of insurance products and those that
provide insurance services such as brokers and claims processors.
Insurance company profits are affected by interest rate levels, general
economic conditions, and price and marketing competition. Certain types of
insurance may be impacted by events or trends such as natural
catastrophes , mortality rates , or recessions . Companies may
be exposed to material risks including shortage of cash reserves and the
inability to collect from reinsurance carriers. Also, insurance companies
are subject to extensive governmental regulation, and can be adversely
affected by proposed or potential tax law changes.
LEISURE PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the design,
production, or distribution of goods or services in the leisure industries.
The goods or services provided by companies in the fund may include, for
example, television and radio broadcast, motion pictures, wireless
communications , gaming casinos, theme parks , apparel,
restaurants , and lodging.
Securities of companies in the leisure industry may be considered
speculative and generally exhibit greater volatility than the overall
market. Many companies have unpredictable earnings, due in part to changing
consumer tastes and intense competition. The industry has reacted strongly
to technological developments and to the threat of government regulation.
MEDICAL DELIVERY PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
ownership or management of hospitals, nursing homes, health maintenance
organizations, and other companies specializing in the delivery of health
care services. This may include, for example, companies that operate acute
care, psychiatric, teaching, or specialized treatment hospitals, as well as
home health care providers, medical equipment suppliers, and those that
provide related services.
Federal and state governments provide a substantial percentage of revenues
to health care service providers via Medicare and Medicaid. These sources
are subject to extensive governmental regulation and appropriations are a
continued source of debate. The administration is currently examining the
health care industry to determine whether government funds are spent
appropriately, and to ensure that adequate health care is available to
everyone.
The demand for health care services should increase as the population ages.
However, studies have shown the ability of health care providers to curtail
unnecessary hospital stays and reduce costs. These changes could alter the
health care industry, focusing it more on home care, and placing less
emphasis on inpatient revenues as a source of profit.
MULTIMEDIA PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
development, production, sale, and distribution of goods or services used
in the broadcast and media industries. The fund's investments may include
broadcasting companies, such as cable television providers, companies
involved in emerging technologies such as cellular communications, or other
companies involved in the ownership, operation or development of media
products or services.
Some of the companies in these industries are undergoing significant change
because of federal deregulation of cable and broadcasting. As a result,
competitive pressures are intense and the stocks are subject to increased
price volatility. FMR abides by Federal Communications Commission rules
governing the concentration of investment in AM, FM, or TV stations ,
limiting investment alternatives.
NATURAL GAS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
production, transmission, and distribution of natural gas, and involved in
the exploration of potential natural gas sources, as well as those
companies that provide services and equipment to natural gas producers,
refineries, cogeneration facilities, converters, and distributors. This may
include, for example, companies participating in gas research, exploration,
or refining, companies working toward technological advances in the natural
gas field, and other companies providing products or services to the
industry.
The companies in the natural gas field are subject to changes in price and
supply of both conventional and alternative energy sources. Swift price and
supply fluctuations may be caused by events relating to international
politics, energy conservation, the success of energy source exploration
projects, and tax and other regulatory policies of domestic and foreign
governments.
PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged
in the manufacture, research, sale, or distribution of paper products,
packaging products, building materials (such as lumber and paneling
products), and other products related to the paper and forest products
industry. Examples of the fund's investments may include paper production
companies, printers, and publishers.
The success of these companies depends on the health of the economy,
worldwide production capacity for the industry's products, and interest
rate levels, which may affect product pricing, costs, and operating
margins. These variables also affect the level of industry and consumer
capital spending for paper and forest products.
PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies
engaged in exploration, mining, processing , or dealing in gold,
silver, platinum, diamonds , or other precious metals and minerals.
In addition to its investments in these securities, the fund's focus
includes investments in precious metals such as gold, silver, and
platinum, coins, and securities indexed to the price of gold or other
precious metals. The fund may also invest in securities of companies which
themselves invest in companies engaged in these activities.
The price of precious metals is affected by broad economic and political
conditions. For example, the price of gold and other precious metal mining
securities can face substantial short-term volatility caused by
international monetary and political developments such as currency
devaluations or revaluations, economic and social conditions within a
country, or trade restrictions between countries. Since much of the world's
gold reserves are located in South Africa, the social and economic
conditions there can affect gold and gold-related companies located
elsewhere. The price of precious metals is more affected by broad
economic and political conditions.
FMR does not currently intend to purchase precious metals if, as a result,
more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in precious
metals and securities indexed to the price of precious metals. Under
current federal tax law, gains from selling precious metals may not exceed
10% of the fund's annual gross income. This tax requirement could cause the
fund to hold or sell precious metals or securities when it would not
otherwise do so.
REGIONAL BANKS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
accepting deposits and making commercial and principally non-mortgage
consumer loans. These companies concentrate their operations in a specific
part of the country. This may include, for example, state chartered banks,
savings and loan institutions, and banks that are members of the Federal
Reserve System. The fund may own securities of U.S. institutions whose
deposits are not insured by the federal government.
As the services offered by banks expand, banks are becoming more exposed to
well-established competitors. This exposure has also increased due to the
erosion of historical distinctions between regional banks and other
financial institutions. Increased competition may result from the
broadening of regional and national interstate banking powers, which has
already reduced the number of publicly traded regional banks. In addition,
general economic conditions are important to regional banks which face
exposure to credit losses, and dependence on interest rate activity.
RETAILING PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in merchandising
finished goods and services primarily to individual consumers. This may
include, for example, department stores, food retailers, warehouse
membership clubs, mail order operations, or other companies involved in
alternative selling methods.
The success of retailing companies is closely tied to consumer spending,
which is affected by general economic conditions and consumer confidence
levels. The retailing industry is highly competitive, and a company's
success is often tied to its ability to anticipate changing consumer
tastes.
SOFTWARE AND COMPUTER SERVICES PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies
engaged in research, design, production or distribution of products or
processes that relate to software or information-based services. This may
include, for example, companies that design products such as systems level
software to run the basic functions of a computer, or applications software
for one type of work, and consulting, communications, and related services.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial
condition of companies in the software and computer services industries.
For example, an increasing number of companies and new product offerings
can lead to price cuts and slower selling cycles.
TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies which FMR believes
have, or will develop, products, processes, or services that will provide
or will benefit significantly from technological advances and improvements.
The description of the technology sector will be interpreted broadly by FMR
and may include such products or services as inexpensive computing power
such as personal computers, improved methods of communications such as
satellite transmission, or labor saving machines or instruments such as
computer-aided design equipment.
The fund emphasizes those companies positioned to benefit from
technological advances in areas such as semiconductors, minicomputers and
peripheral equipment, scientific instruments, computer software,
communications, and future automation trends in both office and factory
settings.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial
condition of companies in the technology industry. For example, if
technology continues to advance at an accelerated rate, and the number of
companies and product offerings continues to expand, these companies could
become increasingly sensitive to short product cycles and aggressive
pricing.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in the
development, manufacture, or sale of communications services or
communications equipment. Companies in the telecommunications field may
range from traditional local and long-distance telephone service or
equipment providers, to companies involved in new technologies such as
cellular telephone or paging services.
Telephone operating companies are subject to both federal and state
regulations governing rates of return and services that may be offered.
Many companies represented in the fund are engaged in fierce competition
for market share. Although telephone companies usually pay an above average
dividend, the fund's investment decisions are primarily based on growth
potential and not on income.
TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
providing transportation services or companies engaged in the design,
manufacture, distribution, or sale of transportation equipment.
Transportation services may include, for example, companies involved in the
movement of freight or people such as airlines, railroads, and bus
companies, equipment manufacturers, parts suppliers, and companies involved
in leasing, maintenance and related services.
Transportation stocks are cyclical and have occasional sharp price
movements which may result from changes in the economy, fuel prices, labor
agreements, and insurance costs. The U.S. has been deregulating these
industries, but it is uncertain whether this trend will continue and what
its effect will be.
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies in the public utilities
industry and companies deriving a majority of their revenues from their
public utility operations. This may include, for example, companies that
manufacture, produce, sell, or transmit gas or electric energy, and those
involved in telephone, satellite, and other communication fields.
Public utility stocks have traditionally produced above-average dividend
income, but the fund's investments are based on growth potential. The gas
and electric public utilities industries may be subject to broad risks
resulting from governmental regulation, financing difficulties, supply and
demand of services or fuel, and special risks associated with energy and
atmosphere conservation. The fund may not own more than 5% of the
outstanding voting securities of more than one public utility company as
defined by the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO seeks to earn a high level of current income while
maintaining a stable $1.00 share price by investing in high-quality,
short-term money market instruments. As a result, your investment earns
income at current money market rates, and when you sell your shares, they
should be worth the same amount as when you bought them. Of course, there
is no guarantee that the fund will maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
The fund invests in U.S. dollar-denominated instruments of domestic and
foreign issuers, including banks and other financial institutions,
governments and their agencies and instrumentalities, and corporations. The
fund stresses income, preservation of capital, and liquidity, and does not
seek the higher yields or capital appreciation that more aggressive
investments may provide. The fund's yield will vary from day to day,
generally reflecting current short-term interest rates and other market
conditions.
The fund follows industry-standard guidelines on the quality and maturity
of its investments, which are designed to help maintain a stable $1.00
share price. The fund will purchase only high-quality securities that FMR
believes present minimal credit risks and will observe maturity
restrictions on securities it buys. In general, securities with longer
maturities are more vulnerable to price changes, although they may provide
higher yields. It is possible that a major change in interest rates or a
default on the fund's investments could cause its share price (and the
value of your investment) to change.
SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
The following pages contain more detailed information about types of
instruments in which a fund may invest, and strategies FMR may employ in
pursuit of a fund's investment objective. A summary of risks and
restrictions associated with these instrument types and investment
practices is included as well. Policies and limitations are considered at
the time of purchase; the sale of instruments is not required in the event
of a subsequent change in circumstances.
FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques to
the full extent permitted unless it believes that doing so will help the
funds achieve their goals. As a shareholder, you will receive financial
reports every six months detailing fund holdings and describing recent
investment activities.
EQUITY SECURITIES may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible
securities, and warrants. Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent
an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation. This ownership interest
often gives a fund the right to vote on measures affecting the company's
organization and operations. Although common stocks have a history of
long-term growth in value, their prices tend to fluctuate in the
short er term, particularly those of smaller companies.
DEBT SECURITIES. Bonds and other debt instruments are used by issuers to
borrow money from investors. The issuer pays the investor a fixed or
variable rate of interest, and must repay the amount borrowed at maturity.
Some debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current
interest, but are purchased at a discount from their face values. Debt
securities, loans, and other direct debt have varying degrees of quality
and varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Longer-term
bonds are generally more sensitive to interest rate changes than short-term
bonds.
RESTRICTIONS: Each stock fund does not currently intend to invest more than
5% of its assets in lower-quality debt securities, sometimes called "junk
bonds" (those rated below Baa by Moody's or BBB by S&P, and unrated
securities judged by FMR to be of equivalent quality).
FOREIGN SECURITIES and foreign currencies may involve additional risks.
These include currency fluctuations, risks relating to political or
economic conditions in the foreign country, and the potentially less
stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
In addition to the political and economic factors that can affect foreign
securities, a governmental issuer may be unwilling to repay principal and
interest when due and may require that the conditions for payment be
renegotiated. These factors could make foreign investments, especially
those in developing countries, more volatile.
ADJUSTING INVESTMENT EXPOSURE. A fund can use various techniques to
increase or decrease its exposure to changing security prices, interest
rates, currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or other factors that
affect security values. These techniques may involve derivative
transactions such as buying and selling options and futures contracts,
entering into currency exchange contracts or swap agreements, and
purchasing indexed securities.
FMR can use these practices to adjust the risk and return characteristics
of a fund's portfolio of investments. If FMR judges market conditions
incorrectly or employs a strategy that does not correlate well with the
fund's investments, these techniques could result in a loss, regardless of
whether the intent was to reduce risk or increase return. These techniques
may increase the volatility of the fund and may involve a small investment
of cash relative to the magnitude of the risk assumed. In addition, these
techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction
does not perform as promised.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund buys a security at
one price and simultaneously agrees to sell it back at a higher price.
Delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults
or becomes insolvent.
ILLIQUID AND RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Some investments may be determined by
FMR, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, to be illiquid, which
means that they may be difficult to sell promptly at an acceptable price.
The sale of other securities, including illiquid securities, may be
subject to legal restrictions. Difficulty in selling securities may result
in a loss or may be costly to a fund.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may not purchase a security if, as a result, more than
10% of its assets would be invested in illiquid securities.
U.S. GOVERNMENT SECURITIES are high-quality debt securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or by an agency or instrumentality of the
U.S. government. Not all U.S. government securities are backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States. For example, securities issued by
the Federal Farm Credit Bank or by the Federal National Mortgage
Association are supported by the instrumentality's right to borrow money
from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances. However, securities
issued by the Financing Corporation are supported only by the credit of the
entity that issued them.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES may include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables,
or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities.
OTHER MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS may include commercial paper, certificates
of deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits, and corporate
and other short-term obligations. These instruments may carry fixed or
variable interest rates.
STRIPPED SECURITIES are the separate income or principal components of a
debt instrument. These involve risks that are similar to those of other
debt securities, although they may be more volatile.
WHEN-ISSUED AND DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS are trading practices in
which payment and delivery for the securities take place at a future date.
The market value of a security could change during this period, which could
affect the market value of a fund's assets.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
temporarily transfers possession of a portfolio instrument to another party
in return for cash. This could increase the risk of fluctuation in a fund's
yield or in the market value of its assets.
DIVERSIFICATION. Diversifying a fund's investment portfolio can reduce the
risks of investing. This may include limiting the amount of money invested
in any one issuer or, on a broader scale, in any one industry. A fund that
is not diversified may be more sensitive to changes in the market value of
a single issuer or industry.
RESTRICTIONS: The stock funds (except Financial Services, Home Finance, and
Regional Banks Portfolios) are considered non-diversified. Generally, to
meet federal tax requirements at the close of each quarter, a stock fund
does not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one issuer and,
with respect to 50% of total assets, does not invest more than 5% of its
total assets in any one issuer. With respect to 75% of total assets,
Financial Services Portfolio, Regional Banks Portfolio, and Home Finance
Portfolio may not invest more than 5% of their total assets in any one
issuer. The money market fund may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in the securities of any one issuer, except that it may invest up to
10% of its assets in the highest-quality securities of a single issuer for
up to three days. Each stock fund normally invests at least 80%, but always
at least 25%, of its assets in securities of companies principally engaged
in the business activities identified for that fund. For Precious Metals
and Minerals Portfolio, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its total
assets in securities of companies principally engaged in the business
activities identified for the fund, precious metals, and instruments whose
value is linked to the price of precious metals. The money market fund may
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry (other
than the financial services industry; see below). These limitations do not
apply to U.S. government securities.
FINANCIAL SERVICES INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services industry
are subject to various risks related to that industry, such as government
regulation, changes in interest rates, and exposure on loans, including
loans to foreign borrowers. If a fund invests substantially in this
industry, its performance may be affected by conditions affecting the
industry.
RESTRICTIONS: The money market fund will invest more than 25% of its total
assets in the financial services industry.
BORROWING. A fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR,
or through reverse repurchase agreements. If a stock fund borrows money,
its share price may be subject to greater fluctuation until the borrowing
is paid off. If the fund makes additional investments while borrowings are
outstanding, this may be considered a form of leverage.
RESTRICTIONS: A fund may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes,
but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its total assets.
LENDING. Lending securities to broker-dealers and institutions, including
FBSI, an affiliate of FMR, is a means of earning income. This practice
could result in a loss or a delay in recovering a fund's securities. A fund
may also lend money to other funds advised by FMR.
RESTRICTIONS: Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of a fund's total
assets.
FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RESTRICTIONS

in the manufacture, research, sale, or distribution of paper products,
packaging products, building materials (such as lumber and paneling
products), and other products related to the paper and forest products
industry.
PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies
engaged in exploration, mining, processing or dealing in gold, silver,
platinum, diamonds or other precious metals and minerals. Under normal
conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in (i)
securities of companies principally engaged in exploration, mining,

communications equipment.
TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies engaged in
providing transportation services or companies engaged in the design,
manufacture, distribution, or sale of transportation equipment.
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO invests primarily in companies in the public utilities
industry and companies deriving a majority of their revenues from their
public utility operations.
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO seeks to provide high current income, consistent
with preservation of capital and liquidity, by investing in a broad range
of high quality money market instruments. At all times, 80% or more of the
fund's assets will be invested in money market instruments. The fund may
not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any one industry, except
that the fund will invest more than 25% of its total assets in the
financial services industry.
EACH STOCK FUND seeks capital appreciation. The funds seek to achieve this
objective by investing primarily in equity securities, including common
stocks and securities convertible into common stocks, and for American Gold
Portfolio and Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio, in certain precious
metals. Normally, at least 80%, and in no event less than 25%, of a stock
fund's assets will be invested in securities of companies principally
engaged in the business activities identified for that fund (except
Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio). For the purposes of these
policies, a company is considered to be "principally engaged" in a
designated business activity (unless otherwise noted) if at least 50% of
its assets, gross income, or net profits are committed to, or derived from,
that activity. FMR does not place any emphasis on income when selecting
securities for the stock funds, except when it believes that income may
have a favorable effect on a security's market value.
When FMR considers it appropriate for defensive purposes, each stock fund
may temporarily invest substantially in investment-grade debt securities.
EACH FUND may borrow only for temporary or emergency purposes or engage in
reverse repurchase agreements, but not in an amount exceeding 33% of its
total assets. Loans, in the aggregate, may not exceed 33% of total assets.
BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES
Like all mutual funds, the funds pay expenses related to their daily
operations. Expenses paid out of a fund's assets are reflected in its share
price or dividends; they are neither billed directly to shareholders nor
deducted from shareholder accounts.
Each fund pays a MANAGEMENT FEE to FMR for managing its investments and
business affairs. FMR in turn pays fees to affiliates who provide
assistance with these services for the funds. Each fund also pays OTHER
EXPENSES, which are explained at right.
FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management
fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to
be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the
end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be terminated
at any time without notice, decrease a fund's expenses and boost its
performance.
MANAGEMENT FEE
EACH STOCK FUND'S management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month.
The fee for each fund is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an
individual fund fee rate, and multiplying the result by the respective
fund's average net assets.
The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above .52%, and it drops as
total assets under management increase. For February 1994, the group fee
rate was .3223 %. The individual fund fee rate is .30% for the stock
funds. The total management fee for each stock fund for fiscal 1994
is shown on the chart at right .
THE MONEY MARKET FUND'S management fee is calculated by multiplying the sum
of two components by the fund's average net assets and adding an
income-based fee. One component, the group fee rate, is based on the
average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. It cannot rise
above .37% and it drops as total assets, under management increase. The
other component, the individual fund fee rate, is .03%. The income-based
fee is 6% of the fund's gross income in excess of a 5% yield and cannot
rise above .24% of the fund's average net assets.
For February, 1994, the group fee rate was .1604 %. The money
market's total management fee for fiscal 1994 was .13 % under the
old contract and would have been .19% had the new contract been in effect
for fiscal 1994 .
FMR HAS SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East on behalf of
the stock funds (except American Gold Portfolio). These sub-advisers
provide FMR with investment research and advice on companies based outside
the United States. Under the sub-advisory agreements, FMR pays FMR U.K. and
FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%, respectively, of the costs of
providing these services.
The sub-advisers may also provide investment management services. In
return, FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East 50% of its management fee rate
with respect to a fund's investments that the sub-adviser manage on a
discretionary basis.
FMR HAS A SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT with FTX, which has primary responsibility
for providing investment management for the money market fund, while FMR
retains responsibility for providing other management services. FMR pays
FTX 50% of its management fee (before expense reimbursements) for these
services. FMR paid FTX .07 % of the money market fund's average net
assets for fiscal 1994.
OTHER EXPENSES
While the management fee is a significant component of the funds' annual
operating costs, the funds have other expenses as well.
The funds contract with FSC to perform many transaction s and
accounting functions. These services include processing shareholder
transactions, valuing the funds' investments, and handling securities
loans. In fiscal 1994 the funds paid FSC the fees outlined in the
following table.
The funds also pay other expenses, such as legal, audit, and custodian
fees; proxy solicitation costs; and the compensation of trustees who are
not affiliated with Fidelity.
Each fund's turnover rate varies from year to year, depending on market
conditions. These rates vary from year to year. High turnover rates
increase transaction costs, and may increase taxable capital gains. Of
course, FMR considers these effects when evaluating the anticipated
benefits of short-term investing. The funds' portfolio turnover rates for
fiscal 1994 are shown in the chart below.
Management Fees to Turnover
Fund fees FSC %
Air Transportation 0.63% 1.41% 171%

DOING BUSINESS WITH FIDELITY
Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's
first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in
the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality
financial services to individuals and institutions.
In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of
America's leading discount brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI). Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-sheltered
retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their
employer.
Fidelity is committed to providing investors with practical information to
make investment decisions. Based in Boston, Fidelity provides customers
with complete service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, through a network of
telephone service centers around the country.
To reach Fidelity for general information, call these numbers:
(bullet) For mutual funds, 1-800-544-8888
(bullet) For brokerage, 1-800-544-7272
If you would prefer to speak with a representative in person, Fidelity has
over 78 walk-in Investor Centers across the country.
TYPES OF ACCOUNTS
You may set up an account directly in the funds or, if you own or intend to
purchase individual securities as part of your total investment portfolio,
you may consider investing in a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account.
If you are investing through FBSI or another financial institution or
investment professional, refer to its program materials for any special
provisions regarding your investment in a fund.
The different ways to set up (register) your account with Fidelity are
listed at right.
The account guidelines that follow may not apply to certain retirement
accounts. If your employer offers a fund through a retirement program,
contact your employer for more information. Otherwise, call Fidelity
directly.
WAYS TO SET UP YOUR ACCOUNT
INDIVIDUAL OR JOINT TENANT
FOR YOUR GENERAL INVESTMENT NEEDS
Individual accounts are owned by one person. Joint accounts can have two or
more owners (tenants).
RETIREMENT
TO SHELTER YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS FROM TAXES
Retirement plans allow individuals to shelter investment income and capital
gains from current taxes. In addition, contributions to these accounts may
be tax deductible. Retirement accounts require special applications and
typically have lower minimums.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS (IRAS) allow anyone of legal age and under
70 with earned income to save up to $2,000 per tax year. If your spouse has
earned income of less than $250 per year, you can invest an additional $250
per year in your spouse's name.
ROLLOVER IRAS retain special tax advantages for certain distributions from
employer-sponsored retirement plans.
KEOGH OR CORPORATE PROFIT SHARING AND MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLANS allow
self-employed individuals or small business owners (and their employees) to
make tax deductible contributions for themselves and any eligible employees
up to $30,000 per year.
SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLANS (SEP-IRAS) provide small business owners
or those with self-employed income (and their eligible employees) with many
of the same advantages as a Keogh, but with fewer administrative
requirements.
403(B) CUSTODIAL ACCOUNTS are available to employees of most tax-exempt
institutions, including schools, hospitals, and other charitable
organizations.
401(K) PROGRAMS allow employees of corporations of all sizes to contribute
a percentage of their wages on a tax-deferred basis. These accounts need to
be established by the trustee of the plan.
GIFTS OR TRANSFERS TO A MINOR (UGMA, UTMA)
TO INVEST FOR A CHILD'S EDUCATION OR OTHER FUTURE NEEDS
These custodial accounts provide a way to give money to a child and obtain
tax benefits. An individual can give up to $10,000 a year per child without
paying federal gift tax. Depending on state laws, you can set up a
custodial account under the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act (UGMA) or the
Uniform Transfers to Minors Act (UTMA).
TRUST
FOR MONEY BEING INVESTED BY A TRUST
The trust must be established before an account can be opened.
BUSINESS OR ORGANIZATION
FOR INVESTMENT NEEDS OF CORPORATIONS, ASSOCIATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS,
INSTITUTIONS, OR OTHER GROUPS
Requires a special application.
HOW TO BUY SHARES
SHARE PRICE
ONCE EACH HOUR OF EVERY BUSINESS DAY, TWO SHARE PRICES ARE CALCULATED FOR
EACH FUND: the offering price and the net asset value (NAV). The offering
price includes the sales charge, if any, which you pay when you buy shares,
unless you qualify for a deduction or waiver as described on page .
When you buy shares at the offering price, Fidelity deducts the amount of
any sales charge and invests the rest at the NAV.
Shares are purchased at the next share price calculated after your
investment is received and accepted. Share price is normally calculated
hourly, each business day, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern time.
IF YOU ARE NEW TO FIDELITY, complete and sign an account application and
mail it along with your check. You may also open your account in person or
by wire as described at right. If there is no application accompanying this
prospectus, call 1-800-544-8888.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE MONEY INVESTED IN A FIDELITY FUND, you can:
(bullet) Mail in an application with a check, or
(bullet) Open your account by exchanging from another Fidelity fund.
IF YOU ARE INVESTING THROUGH A TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLAN, such as an
IRA, for the first time, you will need a specially marked application.
Retirement investing also involves its own investment procedures. Call
1-800-544-8888 for more information and a retirement application.
If you buy shares by check or Fidelity Money Line(Registered trademark) and
then sell those shares by any method other than by exchange to another
Fidelity fund, the payment may be delayed for up to seven business days to
ensure that your previous investment has cleared.

HOW TO SELL SHARES
You can arrange to take money out of your fund account at any time by

the next share price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Share price is normally calculated hourly, each business day, from 10 a.m.
to 4 p.m. Eastern time.
Before the fund s' current 3% sales charge became effective the
funds' shares were sold with a 2% sales charge and a 1% deferred sales
charge. The deferred sales charge applies to redemptions of fund shares
(including Select Cash Reserves) purchased prior to October 12, 1990, but
does not apply to exchanges between Select funds, or if you qualify for a
sales charge waiver.
TO SELL SHARES IN A NON-RETIREMENT ACCOUNT, you may use any of the methods
described on this page.

SHAREHOLDER AND ACCOUNT POLICIES
DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL GAINS, AND TAXES
Each stock fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income
and capital gains to shareholders each year, normally in April and
December. Income dividends for the money market fund are declared daily and
paid monthly.
DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS
When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to
receive your distributions. If the option you prefer is not listed on the
application, call 1-800-544-6666 for instructions. Each fund offers four
options (three for the money market fund):
1. REINVESTMENT OPTION. Your dividend and capital gain distributions will
be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not
indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.
2. INCOME-EARNED OPTION. Your capital gain distributions will be
automatically reinvested, but you will be sent a check for each dividend
distribution. This option is not available for the money market fund.
3. CASH OPTION. You will be sent a check for each dividend and capital gain
distribution.
4. DIRECTED DIVIDENDS(Registered trademark) OPTION. Your dividend and
capital gain distributions will be automatically invested in another
identically registered Fidelity fund. Call 1-800-544-6666 for more
information.
FOR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS, all distributions are automatically reinvested.
When you are over 59 years old, you can receive distributions in cash.
For the stock funds, distributions will be reinvested, or deducted from the
share price, at 10:00 a.m. on the ex-dividend date. Shareholders of record
at 4:00 p.m. on the business day before the ex-dividend will be entitled to
receive the distribution. For the money market fund, dividends will be
reinvested at 4:00 p.m. of the last day of the month. Cash distribution
checks will be mailed within seven days.
TAXES
As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the fund
will be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account,
you should be aware of the following tax implications:
TAXES ON DISTRIBUTIONS. Distributions are subject to federal income tax,
and may also be subject to state or local taxes. If you live outside the
United States, your distributions could also be taxed by the country in
which you reside. Your distributions are taxable when they are paid,
whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.
However, distributions declared in December and paid in January are taxable
as if they were paid on December 31.
For federal tax purposes, each fund's income and short-term capital gain
distributions are taxed as dividends; long-term capital gain distributions
are taxed as long-term capital gains. Every January, Fidelity will send you
and the IRS a statement showing the taxable distributions paid to you in
the previous year.
TAXES ON TRANSACTIONS. Your redemptions - including exchanges to other
Fidelity funds - are subject to capital gains tax. A capital gain or loss
is the difference between the cost of your shares and the price you receive
when you sell them.
UNDERSTANDING DISTRIBUTIONS
As a fund shareholder, you are entitled to your
share of the fund's net income and gains on its
investments. The fund passes these earnings
along to its investors as DISTRIBUTIONS.
Each fund earns dividends from stocks and
interest from bond, money market and other
investments. These are passed along as
DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTIONS. A fund realizes capital
gains whenever it sells securities for a higher
price than it paid for them. These are passed
along as CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS.
(checkmark)
Whenever you sell shares of a fund, Fidelity will send you a confirmation
statement showing how many shares you sold and at what price. You will also
receive a consolidated transaction statement every January. However, it is
up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether this sale resulted in a
capital gain and, if so, the amount of tax to be paid. Be sure to keep your
regular account statements; the information they contain will be essential
in calculating the amount of your capital gains.
"BUYING A DIVIDEND." If you buy shares just before a fund deducts a
distribution from its share price, you will pay the full price for the
shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable
distribution.
There are some tax requirements that all funds must follow in order to
avoid federal taxation. In its effort to adhere to these requirements, a
fund may have to limit its investment activity in some types of
instruments.
TRANSACTION DETAILS
THE FUNDS ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
is open. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's net asset value and
offering price, hourly, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each business day of
the NYSE.
EACH FUND'S NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV is computed by
adding up the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets,
subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of
shares outstanding.
The stock funds' portfolio securities and other assets are valued primarily
on the basis of market quotations or, if quotations are not readily
available, by a method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately
reflects fair value. Foreign securities are valued on the basis of
quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are
translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange
rates.
The money market fund values the securities it owns on the basis of
amortized cost. This method minimizes the effect of changes in a security's
market value and helps the fund to maintain a stable $1.00 share price.
EACH FUND'S OFFERING PRICE (price to buy one share) is the fund's NAV plus
a sales charge. The sales charge is 3% of the offering price, or 3.09% of
the net amount invested. The REDEMPTION PRICE (price to sell one share) is
the fund's NAV plus a redemption fee of $7.50 or of 1% of the value of
your redemptions depending on how long your shares were held. Exchanges
will also be charged an additional $7.50 fee.
WHEN YOU SIGN YOUR ACCOUNT APPLICATION, you will be asked to certify that
your Social Security or taxpayer identification number is correct and that
you are not subject to 31% backup withholding for failing to report income
to the IRS. If you violate IRS regulations, the IRS can require a fund to
withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.
YOU MAY INITIATE MANY TRANSACTIONS BY TELEPHONE. Note that Fidelity will
not be responsible for any losses resulting from unauthorized transactions
if it follows reasonable procedures designed to verify the identify of the
caller. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other
information, and may also record calls. You should verify the accuracy of
your confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If you do
not want the ability to redeem and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for
instructions.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO REACH FIDELITY BY PHONE (for example, during periods
of unusual market activity), consider placing your order by mail or by
visiting a Fidelity Investor Center.
EACH FUND RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND THE OFFERING OF SHARES for a period
of time. Each fund also reserves the right to reject any specific purchase
order, including certain purchases by exchange. See "Exchange Restrictions"
on page . Purchase orders may be refused if, in FMR's opinion, they are of
a size that would disrupt management of a fund.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO BUY SHARES, your order will be processed at the
next offering price calculated after your order is received and accepted.
Note the following:
(bullet) All of your purchases must be made in U.S. dollars and checks
must be drawn on U.S. banks.
(bullet) Fidelity does not accept cash.
(bullet) When making a purchase with more than one check, each check must
have a value of at least $50.
(bullet) Each fund reserves the right to limit the number of checks
processed at one time.
(bullet) If your check does not clear, your purchase will be cancelled and
you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or its transfer agent has
incurred.
(bullet) If you do not specify a particular stock fund, your investment
will be made in the money market fund until FSC receives instructions from
you.
TO AVOID THE COLLECTION PERIOD associated with check and Money Line
purchases, consider buying shares by bank wire, U.S. Postal money order,
U.S. Treasury check, Federal Reserve check, or Direct Deposit instead.
YOU MAY BUY OR SELL SHARES OF THE FUNDS THROUGH A BROKER, who may charge
you a fee for this service. If you invest through a broker or other
institution, read its program materials for service features or fees that
this prospectus may not mention.
Fidelity Brokerage Services, Inc. (FBSI) established a program permitting
customers with Fidelity brokerage accounts to sell short shares of Select
stock funds. FMR reserves the right to suspend the short selling program at
any time in the future.
CERTAIN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS that have entered into sales agreements with
FDC may enter confirmed purchase orders on behalf of customers by
phone, with payment to follow no later than the time when the fund is
priced on the following business day. If payment is not received by that
time, the financial institution could be held liable for resulting fees or
losses.
WHEN YOU PLACE AN ORDER TO SELL SHARES, your shares will be sold at the
next NAV calculated after your request is received and accepted. Please
note the following:
(bullet) Normally, redemption proceeds will be mailed to you on the next
business day, but if making immediate payment could adversely affect a
fund, it may take up to seven days to pay you.
(bullet) Fidelity Money Line redemptions generally will be credited to
your bank account on the second or third business day after your phone
call.
(bullet) Each fund may hold payment on redemptions until it is reasonably
satisfied that investments made by check or Fidelity Money Line have been
collected, which can take up to seven business days.
(bullet) Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed on days
when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on
the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
THE REDEMPTION FEE, if applicable, will be deducted from the amount of your
redemption. This fee is paid to the fund rather than FMR . If shares
you are redeeming were not all held for the same length of time, those
shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of
determining the appropriate fee that applies.
The long-term redemption fee may be reduced to ensure that the fee is no
greater than 0.75% of the net asset value of the long-term shares redeemed.
Shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
will be treated as long-term shares for purposes of the redemption fee.
IF YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE FALLS BELOW $1,000, you will be given 30 days'
notice to reestablish the minimum balance. If you do not increase your
balance, Fidelity reserves the right to close your account and send the
proceeds to you. Your shares will be redeemed at the NAV on the day your
account is closed.
THE SELECT CASH RESERVES ACCOUNT no longer accepts new investments. If you
have an investment in this account, you may leave it there, redeem your
investment, or exchange your shares for shares of a Select fund or another
Fidelity fund. The 1% deferred sales charge will apply to shares in the
Select Cash Reserves Account redeemed or exchanged to another Fidelity
fund, since these shares were available for purchase only when the 1%
deferred sales charge was still in effect. If you redeem by check from
Select Cash Reserves, and the amount of the check is greater than the value
of your account, your check will be returned to you and you may be subject
to extra charges.
FIDELITY MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR SPECIAL SERVICES, such as providing
historical account documents, that are beyond the normal scope of its
services.
FDC collects the proceeds from the funds' 3% sales charge and may
pay a portion of them to securities dealers who have sold the fund's
shares, or to others, including banks and other financial institutions
(qualified recipients), under special arrangements in connection
with FDC's sales activities. The sales charge paid to qualified
recipients is 2.25% of the offering price.
FDC may, at its own expense, provide promotional incentives to
q ualified r ecipients who support the sale of shares of the
funds without reimbursement from the funds. In some instances, these
incentives may be offered only to certain institutions whose
representatives provide services in connection with the sale or expected
sale of significant amounts of shares.
EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for
shares of other Fidelity funds. However, you should note the following:
(bullet) The fund you are exchanging into must be registered for sale in
your state.
(bullet) You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the
same name, address, and taxpayer identification number.
(bullet) Before exchanging into a fund, you should read its prospectus.
(bullet) If you exchange into a fund with a sales charge, you pay the
percentage-point difference between that fund's sales charge and any sales
charge you have previously paid in connection with the shares you are
exchanging. For example, if you had already paid a sales charge of 2% on
your shares and you exchange them into a fund with a 3% sales charge, you
would pay an additional 1% sales charge.
(bullet) Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
(bullet) Although there is no limit on the number of exchanges you may
make between the Select funds, the funds reserve the right to enact
limitations in the future. Because excessive trading can hurt fund
performance and shareholders, each fund reserves the right to temporarily
or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes
more than four exchanges out of the Select funds to other Fidelity funds
per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control, including
accounts with the same taxpayer identification number, will be counted
together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
(bullet) Each fund reserves the right to reject exchange purchases in
excess of 1% of its net assets or $1 million, whichever is less. For
purposes of this policy, accounts under common ownership or control will be
aggregated.
(bullet) Each fund also reserves the right to refuse exchange purchases by
any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective
and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
(bullet) Your exchanges may be restricted or refused if the funds receive
or anticipate simultaneous orders affecting significant portions of the
funds' assets. In particular, a pattern of exchanges that coincide with a
"market timing" strategy may be disruptive to the funds.
(bullet) Each exchange limit may be modified for accounts in certain
institutional retirement plans to conform to plan exchange limits and
Department of Labor regulations. See your plan materials for further
information.
(bullet) For cash management purposes, up to seven days may pass before
exchange proceeds are paid from one Select fund to another, or to another
Fidelity equity fund. Exchange proceeds are recorded in your shareholder
account when the transaction occurs. Therefore, when you exchange from a
stock fund to the money market fund, you will earn money market dividends
immediately. When you exchange from the money market fund to a stock fund,
you will not earn money market dividends during the seven-day period. This
policy could increase the volatility of the money market fund's yield.
Although the funds will attempt to give you prior notice whenever they are
reasonably able to do so, they may impose these restrictions at any time.
The funds reserve the right to terminate or modify the exchange privilege
in the future.
OTHER FUNDS MAY HAVE DIFFERENT EXCHANGE RESTRICTIONS, and may impose
administrative fees of up to $7.50 and redemption fees of up to 1.50% on
exchanges. Check each fund's prospectus for details.
SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS
REDUCTIONS. Each stock fund's sales charge may be reduced if you invest
directly with Fidelity or through prototype or prototype-like retirement
plans sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp. Purchases made with assistance or
intervention from a financial intermediary are not eligible. The amount you
invest, plus the value of your account, must fall within the ranges shown
below. Call Fidelity to see if your purchase qualifies.
Net amount
Ranges Sales charge invested
$0 - 249, 999 3% 3.09%
$250,000 - 499,999 2% 2.04%
$500,000 - 999,999 1% 1.01%
$1,000,000 or more none none
The sales charge for the stock funds and the money market fund will
also be reduced by the percentage of any sales charge you previously paid
on investments in other Fidelity funds (not including Fidelity's Foreign
Currency Funds). Similarly, your shares carry credit for any sales charge
you would have paid if the reductions in the table above had not been
available. These sales charge credits only apply if you continuously owned
Fidelity fund shares or a Fidelity brokerage core account, or participated
in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program, and only to purchases made in
one of the following ways:
1. By exchange from another Fidelity fund.
2. With proceeds of a transaction within a Fidelity brokerage core account,
including any free credit balance, core money market fund, or margin
availability, to the extent such proceeds were derived from redemption
proceeds from another Fidelity fund.
3. With redemption proceeds from one of Fidelity's Foreign Currency
Funds , if the Foreign Currency Fund shares were originally
purchased with redemption proceeds from a Fidelity fund.
4. Through the Directed Dividends Option (see page ).
5. By participants in The CORPORATEplan for Retirement Program when shares
are purchased through plan-qualified loan repayments, and for exchanges
into and out of the Managed Income Portfolio.
WAIVERS. The fund's sales charge will not apply:
1. If you buy shares as part of an employee benefit plan having more than
200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3 million in plan assets invested
in Fidelity mutual funds. Plan sponsors are encouraged to notify Fidelity
when they first satisfy either of these requirements.
2. To shares in a Fidelity Rollover IRA account purchased with the proceeds
of a distribution from an employee benefit plan, provided that at the time
of the distribution, the employer or its affiliate maintained a plan that
both qualified for waiver (1) above and had at least some of its assets
invested in Fidelity-managed products.
3. If you are a charitable organization (as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of
the Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or more.
4. If you purchase shares for a charitable remainder trust or life income
pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as defined
by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code).
5. If you are an investor participating in the Fidelity Trust Portfolios
program.
6. To shares purchased through Portfolio Advisory Services.
7. If you are a current or former trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund
or a current or retired officer, director, or regular employee of FMR
Corp. or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (a Fidelity Trustee or
employee), the spouse of a Fidelity trustee or employee, a Fidelity trustee
or employee acting as custodian for a minor child, or a person acting as
trustee of a trust for the sole benefit of the minor child of a Fidelity
trustee or employee.
8. If you are a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other
employee of a qualified recipient, as defined on page .
T hese waivers must be qualified through FDC in advance. More
detailed information about waivers (1), (2), and (5) is contained in
the Statement of Additional Information. A representative of your plan or
organization should call Fidelity for more information.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS
The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the
Prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or
limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be
invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding
quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be
determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of
such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in
values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when
determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment
policies and limitations.
The funds of the trust are registered as non-diversified investment
companies (except Financial Services, Regional Banks, Home Finance, and
Money Market Portfolios) Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, an investment company is diversified if at least 75% of the value
of its total assets are represented by cash, cash items, U.S. government
securities, and other securities of issuers which represent, with respect
to each issuer, no more than 5% of the value of the investment company's
total assets and no more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of
such issuer. As a non-diversified investment company, the fund need not
satisfy these conditions. However, the stock funds' fundamental investment
limitations provide that a fund will not purchase the securities of any
issuer (except securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
government or its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than
10% of the outstanding voting securities of that issuer would be owned by
the fund. It is anticipated that each of the stock funds, except the
Financial Services, Regional Banks, and Home Finance Portfolios, will
operate as "non-diversified," subject to the above conditions and any other
conditions applicable to the entire trust. The Financial Services,
Regional Banks, and Home Finance Portfolios will not purchase the
securities of any issuer (other than obligations issued or guaranteed by
the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a
result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of a fund's
total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer, and each
will operate as a diversified fund. The Money Market Portfolio also will
operate as a diversified fund. Each fund intends to meet the
diversification requirements necessary to qualify as a regulated investment
company for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. (See non-fundamental
limit (i) on page and "Distributions and Taxes" beginning on page .)
Each fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be
changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting
securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of that
fund. However, with respect to the money market fund, except for the
fundamental investment limitations set forth below, the investment policies
and limitations described in this Statement of Additional Information are
not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
THE FOLLOWING ARE EACH STOCK FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. EACH STOCK FUND MAY NOT:
(1) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(2) borrow money, except that a fund may borrow money for temporary or
emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not
exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less
liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed
this amount will be reduced within three days ( not including Sundays and
holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(3) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that a
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(4) purchase or sell the securities of any issuer, if, as a result of such
purchase or sale, less than 25% of the assets of the fund would be invested
in the securities of issuers principally engaged in the business activities
having the specific characteristics denoted by the fund;
(5) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent a fund from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(6) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent a
fund from purchasing or selling options and futures contracts or from
investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical
commodities). This limitation does not apply to the Precious Metals and
Minerals Portfolio (see below) or to the American Gold Portfolio;
(7) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.
IN ADDITION, A FUND MAY:
(8) notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation,
invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management
investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment
objectives, policies, and limitations as the fund.
THE PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO MAY NOT:
(1) purchase any precious metal if, as a result, more than 50% of its total
assets would be invested in precious metals; or
(2) purchase or sell physical commodities, provided that the fund may
purchase and sell precious metals, and further provided that the fund may
sell physical commodities acquired as a result of ownership of securities.
The fund may not purchase or sell options, options on futures contracts, or
futures contracts on physical commodities other than precious metals.
THE FINANCIAL SERVICES, REGIONAL BANKS, AND HOME FINANCE PORTFOLIOS
MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of total assets, purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government,
or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5%
of its total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STOCK FUNDS' NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS WHICH MAY BE
CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) To meet federal tax requirements for qualification as a "regulated
investment company," each fund limits its investments so that at the close
of each quarter of its taxable year: (a) with regard to at least 50% of
total assets, no more than 5% of total assets are invested in the
securities of a single issuer, and (b) no more than 25% of total assets are
invested in the securities of a single issuer. Limitations (a) and (b) do
not apply to "Government securities" as defined for federal tax purposes.
(ii) Each fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless
it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount
to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(iii) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that a fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for
the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) Each fund does not currently intend to hedge more than 40% of its
total assets with short sales against the box under normal conditions.
(v) Each fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for
purposes of fundamental investment limitation (2)). Each fund will not
purchase any security while borrowings representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. Each fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(vi) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vii) Each fund does not currently intend to invest in interests of
real estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to invest
in interests of real estate limited partnerships that are not listed
on the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or traded on
the NASDAQ National Market System.
(vii) Each fund (except the American Gold Portfolio and the Precious Metals
and Minerals Portfolio) will not purchase physical commodities, or purchase
or sell futures contracts based on physical commodities.
(ix) The American Gold Portfolio and the Precious Metals and Minerals
Portfolio will each limit investment in gold bullion or coins to no more
than 25% of its total assets.
(x) Each fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 5% of its net
assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an
affiliate serves as investment adviser. (This limitation does not apply to
purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements.)
(xi) Each fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of
other investment companies, except in the open market where no commission
except the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(xii) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by domestic and foreign
governments or political subdivisions thereof) if, as a result, more than
5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of business
enterprises that, including predecessors, have a record of less than three
years of continuous operation.
(xiii) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase warrants, valued at
the lower of cost or market, in excess of 5% of the fund's net assets.
Included in that amount, but not to exceed 2% of a fund's net assets, may
be warrants that are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the
American Stock Exchange. Warrants acquired by a fund in units or attached
to securities are not subject to these restrictions. The Brokerage and
Investment Management Portfolio and Financial Services Portfolio are
subject to additional restrictions on the purchase of warrants and rights.
See page .
(xiv) Each fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases; provided, however,
that if consistent with the designated business activities of a particular
fund, a fund may purchase securities of issuers whose principal business
activities fall within these areas.
(xv) Each fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(xvi) Each fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objectives, policies, and
limitations as the funds.
For the stock funds' limitations on futures and options transactions, see
the section entitled "Limitations on Futures and Options Transactions"
beginning on page .
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MONEY MARKET FUND'S FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT
LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THEIR ENTIRETY. THE MONEY MARKET FUND MAY NOT:
(1) with respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the securities
of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result,
(a) more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the
securities of that issuer, or (b) the fund would hold more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of that issuer.
(2) issue senior securities, except as permitted under the Investment
Company Act of 1940;
(3) borrow money, except that the fund may (i) borrow money for temporary
or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) and (ii) engage in
reverse repurchase agreements for any purpose; provided that (i) and (ii)
in combination do not exceed 33 1/3% of the fund's total assets (including
the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any
borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three
days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply
with the 33 1/3% limitation;
(4) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the
fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities;
(5) purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total
assets would be invested in the securities of companies whose principal
business activities are in the same industry, except that the fund will
invest more than 25% of its total assets in the financial services
industry;
(6) purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership
of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund
from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or
securities of companies engaged in the real estate business);
(7) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of
ownership of securities or other instruments;
(8) lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33
1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this
limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements;
(9) invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or
management.
IN ADDITION, THE FUND MAY:
(10) notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation,
invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management
investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment
objectives, policies, and limitations as the fund.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE MONEY MARKET FUND'S NON-FUNDAMENTAL LIMITATIONS WHICH
MAY BE CHANGED WITHOUT SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL.
(i) The fund does not currently intend to purchase a security (other than a
security issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies
or instrumentalities) if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets
would be invested in the securities of a single issuer; provided that the
fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the first tier securities
of a single issuer for up to three business days.
(ii) The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it
owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to
the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures
contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities
short.
(iii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin,
except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary
for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in
connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall
not constitute purchasing securities on margin.
(iv) The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered
investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with
any party. The fund will not purchase any security while borrowings
(excluding reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than 5% of its
total assets are outstanding. The fund will not borrow from other funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates if total outstanding borrowings
immediately after such borrowing would exceed 15% of the fund's total
assets.
(v) The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a
result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities
that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or
disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices
at which they are valued.
(vi) The fund does not currently intend to invest in securities of real
estate investment trusts that are not readily marketable, or to invest in
securities of real estate limited partnerships that are not listed on the
New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or traded on the
NASDAQ National Market System.
(vii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase physical commodities
or purchase or sell futures contracts based on physical commodities.
(viii) The fund does not currently intend to lend assets other than
securities to other parties, except by lending money (up to 10% of the
fund's net assets) to a registered investment company or portfolio for
which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser. (This limitation
does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase
agreements.)
(ix) The fund does not currently intend to (a) purchase securities of other
investment companies, except in the open market where no commission except
the ordinary broker's commission is paid, or (b) purchase or retain
securities issued by other open-end investment companies. Limitations (a)
and (b) do not apply to securities received as dividends, through offers of
exchange, or as a result of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger.
(x) The fund does not currently intend to invest in oil, gas, or other
mineral exploration or development programs or leases.
(xii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of any
issuer if those officers and Trustees of the trust and those officers and
directors of FMR who individually own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities
of such issuer together own more than 5% of such issuer's securities.
(xii) The fund does not currently intend to purchase or sell futures
contracts or call options. This limitation does not apply to options
attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying securities
and does not apply to securities that incorporate features similar to
options or futures contracts.
(xiii) The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in
the securities of a single open-end management investment company with
substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and
limitations as the fund.
BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
PORTFOLIO Rule 12d3-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, allows investment portfolios such as these funds to invest in
companies engaged in securities-related activities subject to certain
conditions. Purchases of securities of a company that derived 15% or less
of gross revenues during its most recent fiscal year from
securities-related activities (i.e., broker/dealer, underwriting, or
investment advisory activities) are subject only to the same percentage
limitations as would apply to any other security the funds may purchase.
Each fund may purchase securities of an issuer that derived more than 15%
of its gross revenues in its most recent fiscal year from
securities-related activities, subject to the following conditions:
a. the purchase cannot cause more than 5% of the fund's total assets to be
invested in securities of that issuer;
b. for an equity security, the purchase cannot result in the fund owning
more than 5% of the issuer's outstanding securities in that class;
c. for a debt security, the purchase cannot result in the fund owning more
than 10% of the outstanding principal amount of the issuer's debt
securities.
In applying the gross revenue test, an issuer's own securities-related
activities must be combined with its ratable share of securities-related
revenues from enterprises in which it owns a 20% or greater voting or
equity interest. All of the above percentage limitations, as well as the
issuer's gross revenue test, are applicable at the time of purchase. With
respect to warrants, rights, and convertible securities, a determination of
compliance with the above limitations shall be made as though such warrant,
right, or conversion privilege had been exercised. Neither fund will be
required to divest its holdings of a particular issuer when circumstances
subsequent to the purchase cause one of the above conditions to not be met.
The funds are not permitted to acquire any security issued by FMR, FDC, or
any affiliated company of these companies that is a securities-related
business. The purchase of a general partnership interest in a
securities-related business is prohibited.
MULTIMEDIA PORTFOLIO
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has certain rules which limit
ownership of corporate broadcast licensees in an effort to assure that no
one person or entity (including mutual funds) exercises an unacceptable
degree of influence or control over broadcast facilities. Current FCC
rules prohibit the fund, together with all other funds advised by FMR, from
holding in the aggregate 10% of the voting stock of more than 18 AM, 18 FM,
or 12 TV broadcast stations. If the officer or director of a broadcast
licensee is a representative of the fund, that licensee must also be taken
into account in determining whether the limitation on the number of
stations has been exceeded. FCC rules also limit investment in multiple
stations serving the same area.
The attribution rules are not applicable to noncommercial educational FM
and TV stations, or to TV stations that are primarily "satellite"
operations. In addition, the rules do not restrict the ownership of a
broadcast licensee if any other person holds more than 50% of the
outstanding voting stock of the licensee. These limitations apply to the
aggregate assets of Multimedia Portfolio and of all funds managed by FMR.
AMERICAN GOLD PORTFOLIO AND PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO
The American Gold Portfolio and the Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio
each have the authority to invest a portion of their assets in gold. The
Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio can invest in other precious metals,
such as platinum, palladium, and silver. No more than 50% of the American
Gold Portfolio's total assets may be invested in gold bullion or coins. No
more than 50% of the Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio's total assets
may be invested in precious metals, including gold bullion or coins.
FMR does not currently intend that either fund will hold gold coins, but
the Trustees reserve the right of the Portfolios to do so in the future.
Transactions in gold coins will be entered into only with prior approval by
the Trustees, prior notice to current shareholders, and provided that
disclosure regarding the nature of such investments is set forth in a
subsequent Prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the
ability of the funds to hold gold coins may be restricted by the securities
laws and/or regulations of states where the funds' shares are qualified for
sale.
The funds may also consider investments in securities indexed to the price
of gold (both funds) or other precious metals (Precious Metals Portfolio
only) as an alternative to direct investments in precious metals.
The Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio's gold-related investments will
often contain securities of companies located in the Republic of South
Africa, which is a principal producer of gold. Unsettled political and
social conditions in South Africa and its neighboring countries, may from
time to time pose certain risks to the Precious Metals and Minerals
Portfolio's investments in South African issuers. These events could also
have an impact on the American Gold Portfolio through their influence on
the price of gold and related mining securities worldwide.
FUND DESCRIPTIONS
THE STOCK FUNDS INVEST PRIMARILY WITHIN THE INVESTMENT AREAS DESCRIBED
BELOW.
AIR TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE REGIONAL, NATIONAL
AND INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT OF PASSENGERS, MAIL, AND FREIGHT VIA AIRCRAFT.
Such companies include the major airlines, commuter airlines, air cargo and
express delivery operators, air freight forwarders, aviation service firms,
and manufacturers of aeronautical equipment.
Airline deregulation has substantially diminished the government's role in
the air transport industry while promoting an increased level of
competition. However, regulations and policies of various domestic and
foreign governments can still affect the profitability of individual
carriers as well as the entire industry. In addition to regulations and
competition, the air transport industry is also very sensitive to fuel
price levels and the state of foreign and domestic economies.
AMERICAN GOLD PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN EXPLORATION, MINING,
PROCESSING, OR DEALING IN GOLD, OR, TO A LESSER DEGREE, IN SILVER,
PLATINUM, DIAMONDS, OR OTHER PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS. FMR also may
invest in securities of companies which themselves invest in companies
engaged in these activities. Normally at least 80% of the fund's assets
will be invested in securities of North, Central and South American
companies engaged in gold-related activities, and in gold bullion or coins.
The prices of gold and other precious metal mining securities have been
subject to substantial fluctuations over short periods of time and may be
affected by unpredictable international monetary and political developments
such as currency devaluations or revaluations, economic and social
conditions within a country, trade imbalances, or trade or currency
restrictions between countries. Since much of the world's gold reserves are
located in South Africa, the social upheaval and related economic
difficulties there may, from time to time, influence the price of gold and
the share values of precious metals mining companies located elsewhere.
Investors should understand the special considerations and risks related to
such an investment emphasis, and, accordingly, the potential effect on the
fund's value.
In addition to its investments in securities, the fund may invest a portion
of its assets in gold bullion or coins. The price of gold is affected by
broad economic and political conditions, but is less subject to local and
company-specific factors than securities of individual companies. As a
result, gold may be more or less volatile in price than securities of
companies engaged in gold-related businesses. FMR intends to purchase only
those forms of gold that are readily marketable and that can be stored in
accordance with custody regulations applicable to mutual funds. The fund
may incur higher custody and transaction costs for gold than for
securities.
The fund is authorized to invest up to 50% of its total assets in gold
bullion or coins; however, as a non-fundamental policy (which can be
changed without shareholder approval), FMR does not currently intend to
purchase gold if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets
would be invested in gold, and does not currently intend to purchase coins.
As a further limit on gold investments, under current federal tax law,
gains from selling gold may not exceed 10% of the fund's annual gross
income. This tax requirement could cause the fund to hold or sell bullion
or securities when it would not otherwise do so. The fund also may purchase
securities whose redemption value is indexed to the price of gold, which
are discussed in the Statement of Additional Information. Because the value
of these securities is directly linked to the price of gold, they involve
risks and pricing characteristics similar to direct investments in gold.
FMR currently intends to treat such securities as gold investments for the
purposes of the 25% and 50% limitations above and the 80% policy in the
first paragraph of this section.
AUTOMOTIVE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE, MARKETING OR
SALE OF AUTOMOBILES, TRUCKS, SPECIALTY VEHICLES, PARTS, TIRES, AND RELATED
SERVICES. These companies include those involved with the manufacture and
distribution of vehicles, vehicle parts and tires - either original
equipment or for the aftermarket - and those which are involved in the
retail sale of vehicles, parts or tires. In addition, the fund may invest
in companies that provide automotive-related services to manufacturers,
distributors or consumers.
The automotive industry is highly cyclical and companies involved in this
business may suffer periodic operating losses. While most of the major
manufacturers are large, financially strong companies, many others are
small and may be non-diversified in both product line and customer base.
BIOTECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT,
SCALE UP AND MANUFACTURE OF VARIOUS BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PRODUCTS, SERVICES AND
PROCESSES. These include companies involved with new or experimental
technologies such as genetic engineering, hybridoma and recombinant DNA
techniques and monoclonal antibodies. The fund may also invest in companies
that manufacture and/or distribute biotechnological and biomedical
products, including devices and instruments, and in companies that provide
or benefit significantly from scientific and technological advances in
biotechnology. Some biotechnology companies may provide processes or
services instead of, or in addition to, products.
The description of the biotechnology sector will be interpreted broadly by
FMR, and may include applications and developments in such areas as human
health care (e.g., cancer, infectious disease, diagnostics and
therapeutics); pharmaceuticals (e.g., new drug development and production);
agricultural and veterinary applications (e.g., improved seed varieties,
animal growth hormones); chemicals (e.g., enzymes, toxic waste treatment);
medical/surgical (e.g., epidermal growth factor, in vivo
imaging/therapeutics); and industry (e.g., biochips, fermentation, enhanced
mineral recovery).
Many of these companies may have losses and may not offer products until
the late 1990's. These companies may have persistent losses during a new
product's transition from development to production, and revenue patterns
may be erratic. In addition, biotechnology companies are affected by patent
considerations, intense competition, rapid technological change and
obsolescence, and regulatory requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local
governments, and foreign regulatory authorities. Many of these companies
are relatively small and their stock is thinly traded.
BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN STOCK
BROKERAGE, COMMODITY BROKERAGE, INVESTMENT BANKING, TAX-ADVANTAGED
INVESTMENT OR INVESTMENT SALES, INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, OR RELATED
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES. Holdings may include diversified companies
with operations in the aforementioned areas, in addition to firms
principally engaged in brokerage activities or investment management. The
fund will not invest in securities of FMR or its affiliated companies.
Changes in regulations, the brokerage commission structure, and the
competitive environment, combined with the operating leverage inherent in
companies in these industries, can produce erratic revenues and earnings
over time. The performance of companies in this industry can be closely
tied to the stock market and can suffer during market declines. Revenues
often depend on overall market activity. Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations provide that the fund may not invest more than 5% of its total
assets in the securities of any one company that derives more than 15% of
its revenues from brokerage or investment management activities. These
companies, as well as those deriving more than 15% of profits from
brokerage and investment management activities, will be considered to be
"principally engaged" in this fund's specific business activity.
CHEMICALS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT,
MANUFACTURE OR MARKETING OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES RELATED TO THE CHEMICAL
PROCESS INDUSTRIES. Such products may include synthetic and natural
materials, such as basic and intermediate organic and inorganic chemicals,
plastics, synthetic fibers, fertilizers, industrial gases, flavorings,
fragrances, biological materials, catalysts, carriers, additives, and
process aids. The fund may also hold the securities of companies providing
design, engineering, construction, and consulting services to companies
engaged in chemical processing.
Companies in the chemical processing field are subject to regulation by
various federal and state authorities, including the Environmental
Protection Agency and its state agency counterparts. As regulations are
developed and enforced, such companies may be required to alter or cease
production of a product, to pay fines or to pay for cleaning up a disposal
site, or to agree to restrictions on their operations. In addition, some of
the materials and processes used by these companies involve hazardous
components. There are risks associated with their production, handling and
disposal. These risks are in addition to the more common risks of intense
competition and product obsolescence.
COMPUTERS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN RESEARCH, DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT,
MANUFACTURE OR DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS, PROCESSES OR SERVICES THAT RELATE
TO CURRENTLY AVAILABLE OR EXPERIMENTAL HARDWARE TECHNOLOGY WITHIN THE
COMPUTER INDUSTRY. The fund may hold securities of companies that provide
the following products or services: mainframes, minicomputers,
microcomputers, peripherals, data or information processing, office or
factory automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer aided
design, medical technology, engineering and manufacturing, data
communications and software.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial
conditions of companies in the computer industry. For example, as product
cycles shorten and manufacturing capacity increases, these companies could
become increasingly subject to aggressive pricing, which hampers
profitability. Fluctuating domestic and international demand also affect
profitability.
CONSTRUCTION AND HOUSING PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN AND
CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL AND PUBLIC WORKS
FACILITIES, AS WELL AS COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE, SUPPLY,
DISTRIBUTION OR SALE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES TO THESE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRIES. Examples of companies engaged in these activities include
companies that provide engineering and contracting services, and companies
that produce basic building materials such as cement, aggregates, gypsum,
timber, wall coverings, and floor coverings.
The fund also may invest in the securities of companies involved in real
estate development and construction financing. Such companies could include
homebuilders, architectural and design firms, and property managers.
Additionally, the fund may invest in the securities of companies involved
in the home improvement and maintenance industry, which would include
building material retailers and distributors, household service firms, and
those that supply such companies.
The companies that the fund may invest in are subject to, among other
factors, changes in government spending on public works and transportation
facilities such as highways and airports, as well as changes in interest
rates and levels of economic activity, government-sponsored housing subsidy
programs, rate of housing turnover, taxation, demographic patterns,
consumer spending, consumer confidence, and new and existing home sales.
CONSUMER PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE AND
DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS TO CONSUMERS BOTH DOMESTICALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY.
The fund may invest in companies that manufacture or sell durable products
such as homes, cars, boats, furniture, major appliances, and personal
computers.
The fund will also invest in companies that manufacture, wholesale, or
retail non-durable goods such as food, beverages, tobacco, health care
products, household and personal care products, apparel, and entertainment
products (books, magazines, TV, cable, movies, music). Consumer products
and services such as lodging, child care, convenience stores, and car
rentals may also be represented in the fund.
The success of durable goods manufacturers and retailers is closely tied to
the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, and consumer
confidence. These segments are very competitive; success depends heavily on
household disposable income and consumer spending. Consumer product and
retailing concepts tend to rise and fall with changes in demographics and
consumer tastes.
DEFENSE AND AEROSPACE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE RESEARCH,
MANUFACTURE OR SALE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES RELATED TO THE DEFENSE OR
AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES. The fund may hold securities of companies that
provide the following products or services: air transport; data processing,
or computer-related services; communications systems; research; development
and manufacture of military weapons and transportation; general aviation
equipment, missiles, space launch vehicles, and spacecraft; units for
guidance, propulsion, and control of flight vehicles; equipment components
and airborne and ground-based equipment essential to the testing,
operation, and maintenance of flight vehicles.
Companies involved in the defense and aerospace industries rely to a large
extent on U.S. (and other) government demand for their products and
services. The financial condition of such companies and investor interest
in the stocks of these companies are heavily influenced by federal defense
and aerospace spending policies. For example, defense spending is currently
under pressure from efforts to control the U.S. budget deficit.
DEVELOPING COMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT,
MANUFACTURE OR SALE OF EMERGING COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES OR EQUIPMENT. The
fund may invest in companies developing or offering services or products
based on communications technologies such as cellular, paging, personal
communications networks, special mobile radio, facsimile, fiber optic
transmission, voice mail, video conferencing, microwave, satellite, local
and wide area networking, and other transmission electronics. For purposes
of characterizing the fund's investments, communications services or
equipment may be deemed to be "emerging" if they derive from new
technologies or new applications of existing technologies. The fund will
focus on companies whose business is based on these emerging technologies,
with less emphasis on traditional telephone utilities and large long
distance carriers. The fund will attempt to exploit growth opportunities
presented by new technologies and applications in the communications field.
Many of these opportunities may be in the development stage and, as such,
can pose large risks as well as potential rewards. Such risks might include
failure to obtain (or delays in obtaining) adequate financing or necessary
regulatory approvals, intense competition, product incompatibility,
consumer preferences and rapid obsolescence. Securities of small companies
that base their business on emerging technologies may be volatile due to
limited product lines, markets, or financial resources.
ELECTRONICS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, OR
SALE OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS (SEMICONDUCTORS, CONNECTORS, PRINTED CIRCUIT
BOARDS AND OTHER COMPONENTS); EQUIPMENT VENDORS TO ELECTRONIC COMPONENT
MANUFACTURERS; ELECTRONIC COMPONENT DISTRIBUTORS; AND ELECTRONIC
INSTRUMENTS AND ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS VENDORS. In addition, the fund may
invest in companies in the fields of defense electronics, medical
electronics, consumer electronics, advanced manufacturing technologies
(computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing [CAD/CAM],
computer-aided engineering, and robotics), lasers and electro-optics, and
other new electronic technologies. Many of the products offered by
companies engaged in the design, production or distribution of electronic
products are subject to risks of rapid obsolescence.
ENERGY PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES IN THE ENERGY FIELD, INCLUDING THE CONVENTIONAL
AREAS OF OIL, GAS, ELECTRICITY AND COAL, AND NEWER SOURCES OF ENERGY SUCH
AS NUCLEAR, GEOTHERMAL, OIL SHALE AND SOLAR POWER. The business activities
of companies held in the Energy Portfolio may include: production,
generation, transmission, marketing, control, or measurement of energy or
energy fuels; providing component parts or services to companies engaged in
the above activities; energy research or experimentation; and environmental
activities related to the solution of energy problems, such as energy
conservation and pollution control. Companies participating in new
activities resulting from technological advances or research discoveries in
the energy field will also be considered for this fund.
The securities of companies in the energy field are subject to changes in
value and dividend yield which depend, to a large extent, on the price and
supply of energy fuels. Swift price and supply fluctuations may be caused
by events relating to international politics, energy conservation, the
success of exploration projects, and tax and other regulatory policies of
various governments.
ENERGY SERVICE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES IN THE ENERGY SERVICE FIELD, INCLUDING
THOSE THAT PROVIDE SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT TO THE CONVENTIONAL AREAS OF OIL,
GAS, ELECTRICITY AND COAL, AND NEWER SOURCES OF ENERGY SUCH AS NUCLEAR,
GEOTHERMAL, OIL SHALE AND SOLAR POWER. Holdings may include companies
involved in providing services and equipment for drilling processes such as
offshore and onshore drilling, drill bits, drilling rig equipment, drilling
string equipment, drilling fluids, tool joints and wireline logging. Many
energy service companies are engaged in production and well maintenance,
providing such products and services as packers, perforating equipment,
pressure pumping, downhole equipment, valves, pumps, compression equipment,
and well completion equipment and service. Certain companies supply energy
providers with exploration technology such as seismic data, geological and
geophysical services, and interpretation of this data. Holdings may also
include companies with a variety of products or services including pipeline
construction, oil tool rental, underwater well services, helicopter
services, geothermal plant design or construction, electric and nuclear
plant design or construction, energy-related capital equipment, mining
related equipment or services, and high technology companies serving the
above industries.
Energy service firms are affected by supply, demand and other normal
competitive factors for their specific products or services. They are also
affected by other unpredictable factors such as supply and demand for oil
and gas, prices of oil and gas, exploration and production spending,
governmental regulation, world events and economic conditions.
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE RESEARCH,
DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURE OR DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS, PROCESSES OR SERVICES
RELATED TO WASTE MANAGEMENT OR POLLUTION CONTROL. Such products or services
may include the transportation, treatment and disposal of both hazardous
and solid wastes, including waste-to-energy and recycling; remedial project
efforts, including groundwater and underground storage tank
decontamination, asbestos cleanup and emergency cleanup response; and the
detection, analysis, evaluation, and treatment of both existing and
potential environmental problems including, among others, contaminated
water, air pollution, and acid rain. The fund may also hold the securities
of companies providing design, engineering, construction, and consulting
services to companies engaged in waste management or pollution control.
The environmental services industry has generally been positively
influenced by legislation resulting in stricter government regulations and
enforcement policies for both commercial and governmental generators of
waste materials, as well as specific expenditures designated for remedial
cleanup efforts. Companies in the environmental services field are also
affected by regulation by various federal and state authorities, including
the federal Environmental Protection Agency and its state agency
counterparts. As regulations are developed and enforced, such companies may
be required to alter or cease production of a product or service or to
agree to restrictions on their operations. In addition, since the materials
handled and processes involved include hazardous components, there is
significant liability risk. There are also risks of intense competition
within the environmental services industry.
FINANCIAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES PROVIDING FINANCIAL SERVICES TO
CONSUMERS AND INDUSTRY. Companies in the financial services field include:
commercial banks and savings and loan associations, consumer and industrial
finance companies, securities brokerage companies, real estate-related
companies, leasing companies, and a variety of firms in all segments of the
insurance field such as multi-line, property and casualty, and life
insurance.
The financial services area is currently undergoing relatively rapid change
as existing distinctions between financial service segments become less
clear. For instance, recent business combinations have included insurance,
finance, and securities brokerage under single ownership. Some primarily
retail corporations have expanded into securities and insurance fields.
Moreover, the federal laws generally separating commercial and investment
banking are currently being studied by Congress.
Banks, savings and loan associations, and finance companies are subject to
extensive governmental regulation which may limit both the amounts and
types of loans and other financial commitments they can make and the
interest rates and fees they can charge. The profitability of these groups
is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can
fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. In addition, general
economic conditions are important to the operations of these concerns, with
exposure to credit losses resulting from possible financial difficulties of
borrowers potentially having an adverse effect. Insurance companies are
likewise subject to substantial governmental regulation, predominantly at
the state level, and may be subject to severe price competition.
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations provide that the fund may
not invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one company
that derives more than 15% of its revenues from brokerage or investment
management activities. These companies as well as those deriving more than
15% of profits from brokerage and investment management activities will be
considered to be "principally engaged" in this fund's business activity.
FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE, SALE
OR DISTRIBUTION OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE PRODUCTS, AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS, AND
PRODUCTS RELATED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW FOOD TECHNOLOGIES. The goods and
services provided or manufactured by companies in the fund may include:
packaged food products such as cereals, pet foods and frozen foods; meat
and poultry processing; the production of hybrid seeds; the wholesale and
retail distribution and warehousing of food and food-related products,
including restaurants; and the manufacture and distribution of health food
and dietary products, fertilizer and agricultural machinery, wood products,
tobacco, and tobacco leaf. In addition to the above, food technology
companies engaged in and pioneering the development of new technologies to
provide improved hybrid seeds, new and safer food storage, and new enzyme
technologies may be purchased by the fund.
The success of food and food-related products is closely tied to supply and
demand, which may be strongly affected by demographic and product trends,
stimulated by food fads, marketing campaigns, and environmental factors. In
the U.S., the agricultural products industry is subject to regulation by
numerous federal and municipal government agencies.
HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, OR
SALE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES USED FOR OR IN CONNECTION WITH HEALTH CARE OR
MEDICINE. Companies in the health care field include pharmaceutical
companies; firms that design, manufacture, sell, or supply medical, dental,
and optical products, hardware or services; companies involved in
biotechnology, medical diagnostic, and biochemical research and
development, as well as companies involved in the operation of health care
facilities. Many of these companies are subject to government regulation of
their products and services, a factor which could have a significant and
possibly unfavorable effect on the price and availability of such products
or services. Furthermore, the types of products or services produced or
provided by these companies may become obsolete quickly.
HOME FINANCE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE,
USUALLY THROUGH MORTGAGES AND OTHER CONSUMER-RELATED LOANS. These companies
may also offer discount brokerage services, insurance products, leasing
services, and joint venture financing. Investments may include mortgage
banking companies, government-sponsored enterprises, real estate investment
trusts, consumer finance companies, and similar entities, as well as
savings and loan associations, savings banks, building and loan
associations, cooperative banks, commercial banks, and similar depository
institutions. The fund may hold securities of U.S. depository institutions
whose customer deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF) or the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF).
The residential real estate finance industry has changed rapidly over the
last decade. Regulatory changes at federally insured institutions, in
response to a high failure rate, have mandated higher capital ratios and
more prudent underwriting. This reduced capacity has created growth
opportunities for uninsured companies and secondary market products to fill
unmet demand for home finance. Continued change in the origination,
packaging, selling, holding, and insuring of home finance products is
expected going forward.
The fund will be influenced by potential regulatory changes, interest rate
movements, the level of home mortgage demand, and residential delinquency
trends.
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE,
DISTRIBUTION OR SERVICE OF PRODUCTS AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE INDUSTRIAL
SECTOR, INCLUDING INTEGRATED PRODUCERS OF CAPITAL EQUIPMENT (SUCH AS
GENERAL INDUSTRY MACHINERY, FARM EQUIPMENT, AND COMPUTERS), PARTS SUPPLIERS
AND SUBCONTRACTORS. The fund may invest in companies that manufacture
products or service equipment for the food, clothing or sporting goods
industries.
The success of equipment manufacturing and distribution companies is
closely tied to overall capital spending levels. Capital spending is
influenced by the individual company's profitability, and broader issues
such as interest rates and foreign competition, which are partly determined
by currency exchange rates. Equipment manufacturing concerns may also be
affected by economic cycles, technical obsolescence, labor relations
difficulties and government regulations pertaining to products, production
facilities, or production processes.
INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE,
MINING, PROCESSING, OR DISTRIBUTION OF RAW MATERIALS AND INTERMEDIATE GOODS
USED IN THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR. The products handled by the companies held
in the fund may include chemicals, timber, paper, copper, iron ore, nickel,
steel, aluminum, textiles, cement, and gypsum. Investments may also be made
in the securities of mining, processing, transportation, and distribution
companies, including equipment suppliers and railroads.
Many companies in this sector are significantly affected by the level and
volatility of commodity prices, the exchange value of the dollar, import
controls, and worldwide competition. At times, worldwide production of
these materials has exceeded demand as a result of over-building or
economic downturns. During these times, commodity price declines, and unit
volume reductions have led to poor investment returns and losses. Other
risks include liability for environmental damage, depletion of resources,
and mandated expenditures for safety and pollution control.
INSURANCE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN UNDERWRITING, REINSURING,
SELLING, DISTRIBUTING, OR PLACING OF PROPERTY AND CASUALTY, LIFE, OR HEALTH
INSURANCE. The fund may invest in multi-line companies that provide
property and casualty coverage, as well as life and health insurance. The
fund may invest in insurance brokers, reciprocals, and claims processors.
The fund may also invest in diversified financial companies with
subsidiaries (including insurance brokers, reciprocals and claims
processors) engaged in underwriting, reinsuring, selling, distributing or
placing insurance with independent third parties.
Insurance company profits are affected by interest rate levels, general
economic conditions, and price and marketing competition. Property and
casualty insurance profits may also be affected by weather catastrophes and
other disasters. Life and health insurance profits may be affected by
mortality and morbidity rates. Individual companies may be exposed to
material risks including reserve inadequacy and the inability to collect
from reinsurance carriers. Insurance companies are subject to extensive
governmental regulation, including the imposition of maximum rate levels,
which may not be adequate for some lines of business. Proposed or potential
tax law changes may also adversely affect insurance companies' policy
sales, tax obligations, and profitability.
LEISURE PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN, PRODUCTION, OR
DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS OR SERVICES IN THE LEISURE INDUSTRIES. The goods or
services provided by companies in the fund may include: television and
radio broadcast or manufacture (including cable television); motion
pictures and photography; recordings and musical instruments; publishing,
including newspapers and magazines; sporting goods and camping and
recreational equipment; and sports arenas. Other goods and services may
include toys and games (including video and other electronic games),
amusement and theme parks, travel-related services, hotels and motels,
leisure apparel or footwear, fast food, beverages, restaurants, and gaming
casinos.
Securities of companies in the leisure industry may be considered
speculative. Companies engaged in entertainment, gaming, broadcasting,
cable television and cellular communications, for example, have
unpredictable earnings, due in part to changing consumer tastes and intense
competition. Securities of companies in the leisure industry generally
exhibit greater volatility than the overall market. The market has been
known to react strongly to technological developments and to the specter of
government regulation in the leisure industry.
MEDICAL DELIVERY PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE OWNERSHIP OR
MANAGEMENT OF HOSPITALS, NURSING HOMES, HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATIONS,
AND OTHER COMPANIES SPECIALIZING IN THE DELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES.
Holdings may include companies that operate acute care, psychiatric,
teaching, or specialized treatment hospitals; firms that provide outpatient
surgical, outpatient rehabilitation, or other specialized care, home health
care, drug and alcohol abuse treatment, and dental care; firms operating
comprehensive health maintenance organizations and nursing homes for the
elderly and disabled; and firms that provide related laboratory services.
Federal and state governments provide a substantial percentage of revenues
to health care service providers via Medicare and Medicaid. The future
growth of this source of funds is subject to great uncertainty.
Additionally, the complexion of the private payment system is changing. For
example, insurance companies are beginning to offer long term health care
insurance for nursing home patients to supplement or replace government
benefits. Also, membership in health maintenance organizations or prepaid
health plans is displacing individual payments for each service rendered by
a hospital or physician.
The demand for health care services will tend to increase as the population
ages. However, review of patients' need for hospitalization by Medicare and
health maintenance organizations has demonstrated the ability of health
care providers to curtail unnecessary hospital stays and reduce costs.
MULTIMEDIA PORTFOLIO (FORMERLY BROADCAST AND MEDIA PORTFOLIO): COMPANIES
ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF GOODS OR
SERVICES USED IN THE BROADCAST AND MEDIA INDUSTRIES. Business activities of
companies held in the fund may include: ownership, operation, or broadcast
of free or pay television, radio or cable stations; publication and sale of
newspapers, magazines, books or video products; and distribution of
data-based information. The fund may also invest in companies involved in
the development, syndication and transmission of the following products:
television and movie programming, pay-per-view television, advertising,
cellular communications, and emerging technology for the broadcast and
media industries.
Some of the companies in these industries are undergoing significant change
because of federal deregulation of cable and broadcasting. As a result,
competitive pressures are intense and the stocks are subject to increased
price volatility. Current Federal Communications Commission rules prohibit
the fund, together with all other funds advised by FMR, from holding in the
aggregate 10% of the voting stock of more than 18 AM, 18 FM or 12 TV
stations.
This fund may purchase securities identical to those in the Leisure
Portfolio, or securities of companies that are engaged in business
activities similar to those of certain companies in the Leisure Portfolio.
The Broadcast and Media Portfolio's narrower focus may make it a more
volatile investment than the Leisure Portfolio.
NATURAL GAS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE PRODUCTION, TRANSMISSION,
AND DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL GAS, AND INVOLVED IN THE EXPLORATION OF
POTENTIAL NATURAL GAS SOURCES, AS WELL AS THOSE COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE
SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT TO NATURAL GAS PRODUCERS, REFINERIES, COGENERATION
FACILITIES, CONVERTERS, AND DISTRIBUTORS. The business activities of
companies held in the Natural Gas Portfolio may include: production,
transmission, distribution, marketing, control, or measurement of natural
gas; exploration of potential natural gas sources; providing component
parts or services to companies engaged in the above activities; natural gas
research or experimentation; and environmental activities related to the
solution of energy problems, such as energy conservation or pollution
control through the use of natural gas. Companies participating in new
activities working toward technological advances in the natural gas field
may also be considered for the fund.
The companies in the natural gas field are subject to, among other factors,
changes in price and supply of both conventional and alternative energy
sources. Swift price and supply fluctuations may be caused by events
relating to international politics, energy conservation, the success of
energy source exploration projects, and tax and other regulatory policies
of domestic and foreign governments.
PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE MANUFACTURE,
RESEARCH, SALE, OR DISTRIBUTION OF PAPER PRODUCTS, PACKAGING PRODUCTS,
BUILDING MATERIALS (SUCH AS LUMBER AND PANELING PRODUCTS), AND OTHER
PRODUCTS RELATED TO THE PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS INDUSTRY. Holdings may
include diversified companies with operations in the aforementioned
activities.
The success of these companies depends on, among other things, the health
of the economy, worldwide production capacity and prevailing interest rate
levels, which, in turn, may affect product pricing, costs and operating
margins. These variables also affect the level of industry and consumer
capital spending for paper and forest products.
PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN EXPLORATION,
MINING, PROCESSING OR DEALING IN GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM, DIAMONDS OR OTHER
PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS. The fund may also invest in securities of
companies which themselves invest in companies engaged in these activities.
Under normal conditions, the fund will invest at least 80% of its total
assets in (i) securities of companies principally engaged in exploration,
mining, processing, or dealing in gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, or
other precious metals and minerals, and (ii) precious metals. The fund's
investments also may include securities whose redemption value is indexed
to the price of gold or other precious metals.
The value of the fund's investments may be affected by changes in the price
of gold and other precious metals. Gold has been subject to substantial
price fluctuations over short periods of time and may be affected by
unpredictable international monetary and other governmental policies, such
as currency devaluations or revaluations; economic and social conditions
within a country; trade imbalances; or trade or currency restrictions
between countries. Since much of the world's known gold reserves are
located in South Africa, political and social conditions there may pose
certain risks to the fund's investments. For instance, social upheaval and
related economic difficulties in South Africa could cause a decrease in the
share values of South African issuers. A number of institutions have
adopted policies precluding investments in companies doing business in
South Africa.
Because companies involved in exploring, mining, processing, or dealing in
precious metals or minerals are frequently located outside of the United
States, all or a significant portion of this fund may be invested in
securities of foreign issuers. Investors should understand the special
considerations and risks related to such an investment emphasis.
In addition to its investments in securities, the fund may invest a portion
of its assets in precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and
palladium. The prices of precious metals are affected by broad economic and
political conditions, but are less subject to local and company-specific
factors than securities of individual companies. As a result, precious
metals may be more or less volatile in price than securities of companies
engaged in precious metals-related businesses. The fund may purchase
precious metals in any form, including bullion and coins, provided that FMR
intends to purchase only those forms of precious metals that are readily
marketable and that can be stored in accordance with custody regulations
applicable to mutual funds. The fund may incur higher custody and
transaction costs for precious metals than for securities. Also, precious
metals investments do not pay income.
The fund is authorized to invest up to 50% of its total assets in precious
metals; however, as a non-fundamental policy (which can be changed without
shareholder approval), FMR does not currently intend to purchase precious
metals if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be
invested in precious metals. As a further limit on precious metals
investments, under current federal tax law, gains from selling precious
metals may not exceed 10% of the fund's annual gross income. This tax
requirement could cause the fund to hold or sell precious metals or
securities when it would not otherwise do so.
Securities whose redemption value is indexed to the price of gold or other
precious metals involve risks and pricing characteristics similar to direct
precious metals investments. FMR currently intends to treat such securities
as investments in precious metals for the purposes of the 25% and 50%
limitations above and the 80% policy in the first paragraph of this
section.
REGIONAL BANKS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN ACCEPTING DEPOSITS AND
MAKING COMMERCIAL AND PRINCIPALLY NON-MORTGAGE CONSUMER LOANS. In addition,
these companies may offer the following services: merchant banking,
consumer and commercial finance, discount brokerage, leasing and insurance.
These companies concentrate their operations within a specific part of the
country rather than operating predominantly on a national or international
scale. The fund may invest in securities of foreign institutions, although
the majority of publicly-traded regional banks currently are organized in
the United States.
The fund may own, among others, securities of U.S. institutions whose
customer deposits may or may not be insured by the federal government. Such
U.S. institutions may include, but are not limited to, state chartered
banks, savings and loan institutions, and banks that are members of the
Federal Reserve System.
Federal laws generally separating commercial and investment banking, as
well as laws governing the capitalization and regulation of the savings and
loan industry, are currently being reexamined by Congress. The services
offered by banks may expand if legislation broadening bank powers is
enacted. While providing diversification, expanded powers could expose
banks to well-established competitors, particularly as the historical
distinctions between regional banks and other financial institutions erode.
Increased competition may also result from the broadening of regional and
national interstate banking powers, which has already reduced the number of
publicly traded regional banks. In addition, general economic conditions
are important to regional banking concerns, with exposure to credit losses
resulting from possible financial difficulties of borrowers potentially
having an adverse effect.
RETAILING PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN MERCHANDISING FINISHED GOODS AND
SERVICES PRIMARILY TO INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS. Companies in the fund may
include: general merchandise retailers, department stores, food retailers,
drug stores, and any specialty retailers selling a single category of
merchandise such as apparel, toys, or consumer electronics products.
Companies engaged in selling goods and services through alternative means
such as direct telephone marketing, mail order, membership warehouse clubs,
computer, or video based electronic systems may also be purchased by the
fund.
The success of retailing companies is closely tied to consumer spending
which, in turn, is affected by general economic conditions and consumer
confidence levels. The retailing industry is highly competitive; success is
often tied to a company's ability to anticipate changing consumer tastes.
SOFTWARE AND COMPUTER SERVICES PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN RESEARCH,
DESIGN, PRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF PRODUCTS OR PROCESSES THAT RELATE TO
SOFTWARE OR INFORMATION-BASED SERVICES. The fund may hold securities of
companies that provide systems level software (designed to run the basic
functions of a computer) or applications software (designed for one type of
work) directed at either horizontal (general use) or vertical (certain
industries or groups) markets, time-sharing services, information-based
services, computer consulting or facilities management services,
communications software, and data communications services.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial
condition of companies in the software and computer services industries.
For example, the increasing number of companies and product offerings in
the vertical and horizontal markets may lead to aggressive pricing and
slower selling cycles.
TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES WHICH FMR BELIEVES HAVE, OR WILL DEVELOP,
PRODUCTS, PROCESSES OR SERVICES THAT WILL PROVIDE OR WILL BENEFIT
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES AND IMPROVEMENTS. The description
of the technology sector will be interpreted broadly by FMR and may include
such products or services as inexpensive computing power, such as personal
computers; improved methods of communications, such as satellite
transmission, or labor saving machines or instruments, such as
computer-aided design equipment.
The prime emphasis of the fund will be to identify those companies
positioned to benefit from technological advances in areas such as
semiconductors, minicomputers and peripheral equipment, scientific
instruments, computer software, communications, and future automation
trends in both office and factory settings.
Competitive pressures may have a significant effect on the financial
condition of companies in the technology industry. For example, if
technology continues to advance at an accelerated rate, and the number of
companies and product offerings continue to expand, these companies could
become increasingly sensitive to short product cycles and aggressive
pricing.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DEVELOPMENT,
MANUFACTURE, OR SALE OF COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES OR COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT. Companies in the telecommunications field offer a variety of
services and products, including local and long distance telephone service;
cellular, paging, local and wide area product networks; satellite,
microwave and cable television; and equipment used to provide these
products and services. Long distance telephone companies may also have
interests in new technologies, such as fiber optics and data transmission.
Telephone operating companies are subject to both federal and state
regulation affecting permitted rates of return and the kinds of services
that may be offered. Telephone companies usually pay an above average
dividend. However, the fund's investment decisions are based primarily upon
capital appreciation potential rather than income considerations. Certain
types of companies represented in the fund are engaged in fierce
competition for a share of the market for their products. In recent years,
these have been companies providing goods or services such as private and
local area networks, or engaged in the sale of telephone set equipment.
TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES ENGAGED IN PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES OR COMPANIES ENGAGED IN THE DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, DISTRIBUTION, OR
SALE OF TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT. Transportation services include the
movement of freight or people by airlines, railroads, ships, trucks, and
bus companies. Other service companies include those providing auto, truck,
container, rail car, and plane leasing and maintenance. Equipment
manufacturers include makers of trucks, autos, planes, containers, rail
cars, or any other mode of transportation and their related products. In
addition, the fund may invest in companies that sell fuel saving devices to
the transportation industry and those that sell insurance and software
developed primarily for transportation companies.
Risk factors that affect transportation stocks include the state of the
economy, fuel prices, labor agreements, and insurance costs. Transportation
stocks are cyclical and have occasional sharp price movements. The U.S.
trend has been to deregulate these industries, which could have a favorable
long-term effect, but future government decisions may adversely affect
these companies.
UTILITIES PORTFOLIO: COMPANIES IN THE PUBLIC UTILITIES INDUSTRY AND
COMPANIES DERIVING A MAJORITY OF THEIR REVENUES FROM THEIR PUBLIC UTILITY
OPERATIONS. Public utility investments will include companies engaged in
the manufacture, production, generation, transmission and sale of gas and
electric energy, and companies engaged in the communications field,
including telephone, telegraph, satellite, microwave and the provision of
other communication facilities for the public benefit (not including
companies involved in public broadcasting). Public utility stocks have
traditionally produced above-average dividend income, but the fund's
investments are made based on capital appreciation potential. The fund may
not own more than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of more than one
public utility company as defined by the Public Utility Holding Company Act
of 1935. This policy is non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board of
Trustees.
QUALITY AND MATURITY. (money market fund) Pursuant to procedures adopted
by the Board of Trustees, the fund may purchase only high-quality
securities that FMR believes present minimal credit risks. To be considered
high-quality, a security must be a U.S. government security; rated in
accordance with applicable rules in one of the two highest categories for
short-term securities by at least two nationally recognized rating services
(or by one, if only one rating service has rated the security); or, if
unrated, judged to be of equivalent quality by FMR.
High quality securities are divided into "first tier" and "second tier"
securities. First tier securities have received the highest rating (e.g.,
Standard & Poor's A-1 rating) from at least two rating services (or
one, if only one has rated the security). Second tier securities have
received ratings within the two highest categories (e.g., Standard &
Poor's A-1 or A-2) from at least two rating services ( or one, if only one
has rated the security), but do not qualify as first tier securities. If a
security has been assigned different ratings by different ratings services,
at least two rating services must have assigned the higher rating in order
for FMR to determine eligibility on the basis of that higher rating. Based
on procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, FMR may determine that an
unrated security is of equivalent quality to a rated first or second tier
security.
The fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in second tier
securities. In addition, the fund may not invest more than 1% of its total
assets or $1 million (whichever is greater) in the second tier securities
of a single issuer.
The fund must limit its investments to securities with remaining maturities
of 397 days or less and must maintain a dollar-weighted average maturity of
90 days or less.
AFFILIATED BANK TRANSACTIONS. A fund may engage in transactions with banks
that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund
under the Investment Company Act of 1940. These transactions may include
repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and
repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by
deposits); municipal securities; U.S. government securities with affiliated
financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities;
short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowing. In accordance
with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures
applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.
FUND'S RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The stock funds do not intend to direct or
administer the day-to-day operations of any company. Each stock
fund, however, may exercise its rights as a shareholder and may communicate
its views on important matters of policy to management, the Board of
Directors, and shareholders of a company when FMR determines that such
matters could have a significant effect on the value of the fund's
investment in the company. The activities that each fund may engage in,
either individually or in conjunction with others, may include, among
others, supporting or opposing proposed changes in a company's corporate
structure or business activities; seeking changes in a company's directors
or management; seeking changes in a company's direction or policies;
seeking the sale or reorganization of the company or a portion of its
assets; or supporting or opposing third party takeover efforts. This area
of corporate activity is increasingly prone to litigation and it is
possible that a fund could be involved in lawsuits related to such
activities. FMR will monitor such activities with a view to mitigating, to
the extent possible, the risk of litigation against each fund and the risk
of actual liability if the fund is involved in litigation. No guarantee
can be made, however, that litigation against a fund will not be undertaken
or liabilities incurred.
ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES may include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables
or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent
upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in
certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other
credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be
affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the
originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s)
providing the credit support.
ILLIQUID INVESTMENTS are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in
the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they
are valued. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines
the liquidity of the funds' investments and, through reports from FMR, the
Board monitors investments in illiquid instruments. In determining the
liquidity of the funds' investments, FMR may consider various factors,
including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of
dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer
undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the security (including
any demand or tender features) and (5) the nature of the marketplace for
trades (including the ability to assign or offset a fund's rights and
obligations relating to the investment).
For the money market fund, investments currently considered by the fund to
be illiquid include repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to
payment of principal and interest within seven days. Also, FMR may
determine some restricted securities and time deposits to be illiquid.
Investments currently considered by the stock funds to be illiquid include
repurchase agreements not entitling the holder to payment of principal and
interest within seven days, over-the-counter options, and non-government
stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities. Also, FMR may determine
some restricted securities, government-stripped fixed-rate mortgage-backed
securities, and swap agreements to be illiquid. However, with
respect to over-the-counter options the fund writes, all or a portion of
the value of the underlying instrument may be illiquid depending on the
assets held to cover the option and the nature and terms of any agreement
the fund may have to close out the option before expiration.
In the absence of market quotations, illiquid investments are, for the
money market fund, valued for purposes of monitoring amortized cost
valuation, or, for the stock funds, priced at fair value as determined in
good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees. If through a
change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, a fund were in a
position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid
securities, it would seek to take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES generally can be sold in privately negotiated
transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, or in a registered public offering. Where
registration is required, a fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the
registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time
it decides to seek registration and the time the fund may be permitted to
sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such
a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might obtain
a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration
of the security. However, in general, the money market fund anticipates
holding restricted securities to maturity or selling them in an exempt
transaction.
LOWER-RATED DEBT SECURITIES. The stock funds may purchase lower-rated
debt securities (those rated Ba or lower by Moody's or BB or lower by
Standard & Poor's Corporation) that have poor protection with respect
to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, or may be in
default. These securities are often considered to be speculative and
involve greater risk of loss or price changes due to changes in the
issuer's capacity to pay. The market prices of lower-rated debt securities
may fluctuate more than those of higher-rated debt securities and may
decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty which may
follow periods of rising interest rates.
While the market for high-yield corporate debt securities has been in
existence for many years and has weathered previous economic downturns, the
1980s brought a dramatic increase in the use of such securities to fund
highly leveraged corporate acquisitions and restructurings. Past
experience may not provide an accurate indication of future performance of
the high-yield bond market, especially during periods of economic
recession. In fact, from 1989 to 1991, the percentage of lower-rated
securities that defaulted rose significantly above prior levels, although
the default rate decreased in 1992.
The market for lower-rated debt securities may be thinner and less active
than that for higher-rated debt securities, which can adversely affect the
prices at which the former are sold. If market quotations are not
available, lower-rated debt securities will be valued in accordance with
procedures established by the Board of Trustees, including the use of
outside pricing services. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing
high-yield corporate debt securities than is the case for securities for
which more external sources for quotations and last-sale information are
available. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect
the ability of outside pricing services to value lower-rated debt
securities and the funds' ability to sell these securities.
Since the risk of default is higher for lower-rated debt securities, FMR's
research and credit analysis are an especially important part of managing
securities of this type held by a fund. In considering investments for the
funds, FMR will attempt to identify those issuers of high-yielding
securities whose financial condition is adequate to meet future
obligations, has improved, or is expected to improve in the future. FMR's
analysis focuses on relative values based on such factors as interest or
dividend coverage, asset coverage, earnings prospects, and the experience
and managerial strength of the issuer.
Each fund may choose, at its expense or in conjunction with others, to
pursue litigation or otherwise to exercise its rights as a security holder
to seek to protect the interests of security holders if it determines this
to be in the best interest of its shareholders.
VARIABLE- OR FLOATING-RATE INSTRUMENTS. The money market fund may invest in
variable- or floating-rate instruments that ultimately mature in more than
one year, if the fund acquires a right to sell the securities that meets
certain requirements set forth in Rule 2a-7. Variable-rate instruments
(including instruments subject to a demand feature) that mature in 397 days
or less may be deemed to have maturities equal to the period remaining
until the next readjustment of the interest rate. Other variable rate
instruments with demand features may be deemed to have a maturity equal to
the longer of the period remaining until the next readjustment of the
interest rate or the period remaining until the principal amount can be
recovered through demand. A floating rate instrument subject to a demand
feature may be deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining
until the principal amount can be recovered through demand.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, a fund purchases a
security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller
at an agreed upon price on an agreed upon date within a number of days from
the date of purchase. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an
agreed upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or
maturity of the purchased security. A repurchase agreement involves the
obligation of the seller to pay the agreed upon price, which obligation is
in effect secured by the value (at least equal to the amount of the agreed
upon resale price and marked to market daily) of the underlying security.
A fund may engage in a repurchase agreement with respect to any security in
which it is authorized to invest even if, with respect to the money market
fund, the underlying security matures in more than 397 days. While it does
not presently appear possible to eliminate all risks from these
transactions (particularly the possibility of a decline in the market value
of the underlying securities, as well as delays and costs to a fund in
connection with bankruptcy proceedings); it is the funds' current policy to
limit repurchase agreement transactions to those parties whose
creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.
REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund
sells a portfolio instrument to another party, such as a bank or
broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase the instrument
at a particular price and time. While a reverse repurchase agreement is
outstanding, the fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account to cover its obligation under the agreement.
The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements only with parties
whose creditworthiness has been found satisfactory by FMR. Such
transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of the fund's
assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.
DELAYED-DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. The money market fund may buy and sell
securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. These transactions
involve a commitment by the fund to purchase or sell specific securities at
a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place
after the customary settlement period for that type of security (and more
than seven days in the future). Typically, no interest accrues to the
purchaser until the security is delivered.
When purchasing securities on a delayed-delivery basis, the fund assumes
the rights and risks of ownership, including the risk of price and yield
fluctuations. Because the fund is not required to pay for securities until
the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with
the fund's other investments. If the fund remains substantially fully
invested at a time when delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the
delayed-delivery purchases may result in a form of leverage. When
delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the fund will set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover its
purchase obligations. When the fund has sold a security on a
delayed-delivery basis, the fund does not participate in further gains or
losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a
delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities,
the fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could suffer
a loss.
The fund may renegotiate delayed-delivery transactions after they are
entered into, and may sell underlying securities before they are delivered,
which may result in capital gains or losses.
INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM. Each fund has received permission from the
SEC to lend money to and borrow money from other funds advised by FMR or
its affiliates. Interfund loans and borrowings normally will extend
overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be
called on one day's notice. A fund will lend through the program only when
the returns are higher than those available at the same time from other
short-term instruments (such as repurchase agreements), and will borrow
through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the cost
of bank loans. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest
rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed. Any delay in repayment
to a lending fund could result in a lost investment opportunity or
additional borrowing costs.
SECURITIES LENDING. The stock funds may lend securities to parties such as
broker-dealers or institutional investors, including Fidelity Brokerage
Services, Inc. (FBSI). FBSI is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and
a subsidiary of FMR Corp.
Securities lending allows the funds to retain ownership of the securities
loaned and, at the same time, to earn additional income. Since there may
be delays in the recovery of loaned securities, or even a loss of rights in
collateral supplied should the borrower fail financially, loans will be
made only to parties deemed by FMR to be of good standing. Furthermore,
they will only be made if, in FMR's judgment, the consideration to be
earned from such loans would justify the risk.
FMR understands that it is the current view of the SEC Staff that a fund
may engage in loan transactions only under the following conditions: (1)
the fund must receive 100% collateral in the form of cash or cash
equivalents (e.g., U.S. Treasury bills or notes) from the borrower; (2) the
borrower must increase the collateral whenever the market value of the
securities loaned (determined on a daily basis) rises above the value of
the collateral; (3) after giving notice, the fund must be able to terminate
the loan at any time; (4) the fund must receive reasonable interest on the
loan or a flat fee from the borrower, as well as amounts equivalent to any
dividends, interest, or other distributions on the securities loaned and to
any increase in market value; (5) the fund may pay only reasonable
custodian fees in connection with the loan; and (6) the Board of Trustees
must be able to vote proxies on the securities loaned, either by
terminating the loan or by entering into an alternative arrangement with
the borrower.
Cash received through loan transactions may be invested in any security in
which the funds are authorized to invest. Investing this cash subjects
that investment, as well as the security loaned, to market forces (i.e.,
capital appreciation or depreciation).
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS. Foreign investments can involve significant risks in
addition to the risks inherent in U.S. investments. The value of
securities denominated in or indexed to foreign currencies, and of
dividends and interest from such securities, can change significantly when
foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar.
Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less
liquidity than U.S. markets, and prices on some foreign markets can be
highly volatile. Many foreign countries lack uniform accounting and
disclosure standards comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies, and
it may be more difficult to obtain reliable information regarding an
issuer's financial condition and operations. In addition, the costs of
foreign investing, including withholding taxes, brokerage commissions, and
custodial costs, are generally higher than for U.S. investments.
Foreign markets may offer less protection to investors than U.S. markets.
Foreign issuers, brokers, and securities markets may be subject to less
government supervision. Foreign security trading practices, including
those involving the release of assets in advance of payment, may involve
increased risks in the event of a failed trade or the insolvency of a
broker-dealer, and may involve substantial delays. It may also be
difficult to enforce legal rights in foreign countries.
Investing abroad also involves different political and economic risks.
Foreign investments may be affected by actions of foreign governments
adverse to the interests of U.S. investors, including the possibility of
expropriation or nationalization of assets, confiscatory taxation,
restrictions on U.S. investment or on the ability to repatriate assets or
convert currency into U.S. dollars, or other government intervention.
There may be a greater possibility of default by foreign governments or
foreign government-sponsored enterprises. Investments in foreign countries
also involve a risk of local political, economic, or social instability,
military action or unrest, or adverse diplomatic developments. There is no
assurance that FMR will be able to anticipate these potential events or
counter their effects.
The considerations noted above generally are intensified for investments in
developing countries. Developing countries may have relatively unstable
governments, economies based on only a few industries, and securities
markets that trade a small number of securities.
The funds may invest in foreign securities that impose restrictions on
transfer within the U.S. or to U.S. persons. Although securities subject
to transfer restrictions may be marketable abroad, they may be less liquid
than foreign securities of the same class that are not subject to such
restrictions.
American Depositary Receipts and European Depositary Receipts (ADRs and
EDRs) are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign-based
issuer held in trust by a bank or similar financial institution. Designed
for use in U.S. and European securities markets, respectively, ADRs and
EDRs are alternatives to the purchase of the underlying securities in their
national markets and currencies.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The funds may hold foreign currency
deposits from time to time, and may convert dollars and foreign currencies
in the foreign exchange markets. Currency conversion involves dealer
spreads and other costs, although commissions usually are not charged.
Currencies may be exchanged on a spot (i.e., cash) basis, or by entering
into forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies at a future
date and price. Forward contracts generally are traded in an interbank
market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large
commercial banks) and their customers. The parties to a forward contract
may agree to offset or terminate the contract before its maturity, or may
hold the contract to maturity and complete the contemplated currency
exchange.
The funds may use currency forward contracts to manage currency risks and
to facilitate transactions in foreign securities. The following discussion
summarizes the principal currency management strategies involving forward
contracts that could be used by the funds.
In connection with purchases and sales of securities denominated in foreign
currencies, the funds may enter into currency forward contracts to fix a
definite price for the purchase or sale in advance of the trade's
settlement date. This technique is sometimes referred to as a "settlement
hedge" or "transaction hedge." FMR expects to enter into settlement hedges
in the normal course of managing the funds' foreign investments. The funds
could also enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell a foreign
currency in anticipation of future purchases or sales of securities
denominated in foreign currency, even if the specific investments have not
yet been selected by FMR.
The funds may also use forward contracts to hedge against a decline in the
value of existing investments denominated in foreign currency. For
example, if a fund owned securities denominated in pounds sterling, it
could enter into a forward contract to sell pounds sterling in return for
U.S. dollars to hedge against possible declines in the pound's value. Such
a hedge (sometimes referred to as a "position hedge") would tend to offset
both positive and negative currency fluctuations, but would not offset
changes in security values caused by other factors. The fund could also
hedge the position by selling another currency expected to perform
similarly to the pound sterling - for example, by entering into a forward
contract to sell Deutschemarks or European Currency Units in return for
U.S. dollars. This type of hedge, sometimes referred to as a "proxy
hedge," could offer advantages in terms of cost, yield, or efficiency, but
generally would not hedge currency exposure as effectively as a simple
hedge into U.S. dollars. Proxy hedges may result in losses if the currency
used to hedge does not perform similarly to the currency in which the
hedged securities are denominated.
Under certain conditions, SEC guidelines require mutual funds to set aside
appropriate liquid assets in a segregated custodial account to cover
currency forward contracts. As required by SEC guidelines, the funds will
segregate assets to cover currency forward contracts, if any, whose purpose
is essentially speculative. The funds will not segregate assets to cover
forward contracts entered into for hedging purposes, including settlement
hedges, position hedges, and proxy hedges.
Successful use of forward currency contracts will depend on FMR's skill in
analyzing and predicting currency values. Forward contracts may
substantially change a fund's investment exposure to changes in currency
exchange rates, and could result in losses to the fund if currencies do not
perform as FMR anticipates. For example, if a currency's value rose at a
time when FMR had hedged a fund by selling that currency in exchange for
dollars, the fund would be unable to participate in the currency's
appreciation. If FMR hedges currency exposure through proxy hedges, a fund
could realize currency losses from the hedge and the security position at
the same time if the two currencies do not move in tandem. Similarly, if
FMR increases a fund's exposure to a foreign currency, and that currency's
value declines, the fund will realize a loss. There is no assurance that
FMR's use of forward currency contracts will be advantageous to the funds
or that it will hedge at an appropriate time. The policies described in
this section are non-fundamental policies of the funds.
SWAP AGREEMENTS. Swap agreements can be individually negotiated and
structured to include exposure to a variety of different types of
investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap
agreements may increase or decrease a fund's exposure to long- or
short-term interest rates (in the U.S. or abroad), foreign currency
values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors
such as security prices or inflation rates. Swap agreements can take many
different forms and are known by a variety of names. The stock funds are
not limited to any particular form of swap agreement if FMR determines it
is consistent with a fund's investment objective and policies.
In a typical cap or floor agreement, one party agrees to make payments only
under specified circumstances, usually in return for payment of a fee by
the other party. For example, the buyer of an interest rate cap obtains
the right to receive payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
exceeds an agreed upon level, while the seller of an interest rate floor is
obligated to make payments to the extent that a specified interest rate
falls below an agreed upon level. An interest rate collar combines
elements of buying a cap and selling a floor.
Swap agreements will tend to shift a fund's investment exposure from one
type of investment to another. For example, if a fund agreed to exchange
payments in dollars for payments in foreign currency, the swap agreement
would tend to decrease the fund's exposure to U.S. interest rates and
increase its exposure to foreign currency and interest rates. Caps and
floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on
how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall
volatility of a fund's investments and its share price.
The most significant factor in the performance of swap agreements is the
change in the specific interest rate, currency, or other factors that
determine the amounts of payments due to and from a fund. If a swap
agreement calls for payments by a fund, the fund must be prepared to make
such payments when due. In addition, if the counterparty's
creditworthiness declined, the value of a swap agreement would be likely to
decline, potentially resulting in losses. Each equity fund expects to be
able to eliminate its exposure under swap agreements either by assignment
or other disposition, or by entering into an offsetting swap agreement with
the same party or a similarly creditworthy party.
Each equity fund will maintain appropriate liquid assets in a segregated
custodial account to cover its current obligations under swap agreements.
If a fund enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate
assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the
fund's accrued obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount
the fund is entitled to receive under the agreement. If a fund enters into
a swap agreement on other than a net basis, it will segregate assets with a
value equal to the full amount of the fund's accrued obligations under the
agreement.
INDEXED SECURITIES. Each stock fund may purchase securities whose
prices are indexed to the prices of other securities, securities indices,
currencies, precious metals or other commodities, or other financial
indicators. Indexed securities typically, but not always, are debt
securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined
by reference to a specific instrument or statistic. Gold-indexed
securities typically are short-term to intermediate-term debt securities
whose maturity values or interest rates are determined by reference to the
values of one or more specified foreign currencies, and may offer higher
yields than U.S. dollar-denominated securities of equivalent issuers.
Currency-indexed securities may be positively or negatively indexed; that
is, their maturity value may increase when the specified currency value
increases, resulting in a security that performs similarly to a
foreign-denominated instrument, or their maturity value may decline when
foreign currencies increase, resulting in a security whose price
characteristics are similar to a put on the underlying currency.
Currency-indexed securities may also have prices that depend on the values
of a number of different foreign currencies relative to each other.
The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the
performance of the security, currency, or other instrument to which they
are indexed, and may also be influenced by interest rate changes in the
U.S. and abroad. At the same time, indexed securities are subject to the
credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values
may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.
Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations, and
certain U.S. government agencies. Indexed securities may be more volatile
than the underlying instruments.
The American Gold Portfolio and the Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio
may consider purchasing securities indexed to the price of gold as an
alternative to direct investments in gold. The funds will only buy
gold-indexed securities when they are satisfied with the creditworthiness
of the issuers liable for payment. The securities generally will earn a
nominal rate of interest while held by a fund, and may have maturities of
one year or more. In addition, the securities may be subject to being put
by a fund to the issuer, with payment to be received on no more than seven
days' notice. The put feature would ensure the liquidity of the notes in
the absence of an active secondary market. The Precious Metals and
Minerals fund may consider investments in securities indexed to the price
of platinum, silver, or other precious metals.
SHORT SALES "AGAINST THE BOX". The money market fund may sell securities
short when it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind
or amount to the securities sold short. Short sales could be used to
protect the net asset value per share of the fund in anticipation of
increase interest rates, without sacrificing the current yield of the
securities sold short. If the money market fund or a stock
fund enters into a short sale against the box, it will be required to set
aside securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short
(or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will
be required to hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding.
The fund will incur transaction costs, including interest expense, in
connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the
box.
LIMITATIONS ON FUTURES AND OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS. Each stock fund
intends to file a notice of eligibility for exclusion from the definition
of the term "commodity pool operator" with the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (CFTC) and the National Futures Association, which regulate
trading in the futures markets, before engaging in any purchases or sales
of futures contracts or options on futures contracts.
The stock funds intend to comply with Rule 4.5 under the Commodity
Exchange Act, which limits the extent to which the funds can commit assets
to initial margin deposits and option premiums.
In addition, each fund will not: (a) sell futures contracts, purchase put
options, or write call options if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's
total assets would be hedged with futures and options under normal
conditions; (b) purchase futures contracts or write put options if, as a
result, the fund's total obligations upon settlement or exercise of
purchased futures contracts and written put options would exceed 25% of its
total assets; or (c) purchase call options if, as a result, the current
value of option premiums for call options purchased by the fund would
exceed 5% of the fund's total assets. These limitations do not apply to
options attached to or acquired or traded together with their underlying
securities, and do not apply to securities that incorporate features
similar to options.
The above limitations on the funds' investments in futures contracts and
options, and the funds' policies regarding futures contracts and options
discussed elsewhere in this Statement of Additional Information, are not
fundamental policies and may be changed as regulatory agencies permit.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. When a fund purchases a futures contract, it agrees to
purchase a specified underlying instrument at a specified future date.
When a fund sells a futures contract, it agrees to sell the underlying
instrument at a specified future date. The price at which the purchase and
sale will take place is fixed when a fund enters into the contract. Some
currently available futures contracts are based on specific securities,
such as U.S. Treasury bonds or notes, and some are based on indices of
securities prices, such as the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock
Price Index (S&P 500). Futures can be held until their delivery dates,
or can be closed out before then if a liquid secondary market is available.
The value of a futures contract tends to increase and decrease in tandem
with the value of its underlying instrument. Therefore, purchasing futures
contracts will tend to increase a fund's exposure to positive and negative
price fluctuations in the underlying instrument, much as if it had
purchased the underlying instrument directly. When a fund sells a futures
contract, by contrast, the value of its futures position will tend to move
in a direction contrary to the market. Selling futures contracts,
therefore, will tend to offset both positive and negative market price
changes, much as if the underlying instrument had been sold.
FUTURES MARGIN PAYMENTS. The purchaser or seller of a futures contract is
not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the
contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the purchaser and
seller are required to deposit "initial margin" with a futures broker,
known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), when the contract is entered
into. Initial margin deposits are typically equal to a percentage of the
contract's value. If the value of either party's position declines, that
party will be required to make additional "variation margin" payments to
settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may
be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Initial and
variation margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin
for purposes of the funds' investment limitations. In the event of the
bankruptcy of an FCM that holds margin on behalf of a fund, the fund may be
entitled to return of margin owed to it only in proportion to the amount
received by the FCM's other customers, potentially resulting in losses to
the fund.
PURCHASING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. By purchasing a put option, a fund
obtains the right (but not the obligation) to sell the option's underlying
instrument at a fixed strike price. In return for this right, the fund
pays the current market price for the option (known as the option premium).
Options have various types of underlying instruments, including specific
securities, indices of securities prices, and futures contracts. A fund
may terminate its position in a put option it has purchased by allowing it
to expire or by exercising the option. If the option is allowed to expire,
the fund will lose the entire premium it paid. If the fund exercises the
option, it completes the sale of the underlying instrument at the strike
price. The fund may also terminate a put option position by closing it out
in the secondary market at its current price, if a liquid secondary market
exists.
The buyer of a typical put option can expect to realize a gain if security
prices fall substantially. However, if the underlying instrument's price
does not fall enough to offset the cost of purchasing the option, a put
buyer can expect to suffer a loss (limited to the amount of the premium
paid, plus related transaction costs).
The features of call options are essentially the same as those of put
options, except that the purchaser of a call option obtains the right to
purchase, rather than sell, the underlying instrument at the option's
strike price. A call buyer typically attempts to participate in potential
price increases of the underlying instrument with risk limited to the cost
of the option if security prices fall. At the same time, the buyer can
expect to suffer a loss if security prices do not rise sufficiently to
offset the cost of the option.
WRITING PUT AND CALL OPTIONS. When a fund writes a put option, it takes
the opposite side of the transaction from the option's purchaser. In
return for receipt of the premium, the fund assumes the obligation to pay
the strike price for the option's underlying instrument if the other party
to the option chooses to exercise it. When writing an option on a futures
contract the fund will be required to make margin payments to an FCM as
described above for futures contracts. A fund may seek to terminate its
position in a put option it writes before exercise by closing out the
option in the secondary market at its current price. If the secondary
market is not liquid for a put option the fund has written, however, the
fund must continue to be prepared to pay the strike price while the option
is outstanding, regardless of price changes, and must continue to set aside
assets to cover its position.
If security prices rise, a put writer would generally expect to profit,
although its gain would be limited to the amount of the premium it
received. If security prices remain the same over time, it is likely that
the writer will also profit, because it should be able to close out the
option at a lower price. If security prices fall, the put writer would
expect to suffer a loss. This loss should be less than the loss from
purchasing the underlying instrument directly, however, because the premium
received for writing the option should mitigate the effects of the decline.
Writing a call option obligates a fund to sell or deliver the option's
underlying instrument, in return for the strike price, upon exercise of the
option. The characteristics of writing call options are similar to those
of writing put options, except that writing calls generally is a profitable
strategy if prices remain the same or fall. Through receipt of the option
premium, a call writer mitigates the effects of a price decline. At the
same time, because a call writer must be prepared to deliver the underlying
instrument in return for the strike price, even if its current value is
greater, a call writer gives up some ability to participate in security
price increases.
COMBINED POSITIONS. A fund may purchase and write options in combination
with each other, or in combination with futures or forward contracts, to
adjust the risk and return characteristics of the overall position. For
example, a fund may purchase a put option and write a call option on the
same underlying instrument, in order to construct a combined position whose
risk and return characteristics are similar to selling a futures contract.
Another possible combined position would involve writing a call option at
one strike price and buying a call option at a lower price, in order to
reduce the risk of the written call option in the event of a substantial
price increase. Because combined options positions involve multiple
trades, they result in higher transaction costs and may be more difficult
to open and close out.
CORRELATION OF PRICE CHANGES. Because there are a limited number of types
of exchange-traded options and futures contracts, it is likely that the
standardized contracts available will not match a fund's current or
anticipated investments exactly. Each fund may invest in options and
futures contracts based on securities with different issuers, maturities,
or other characteristics from the securities in which it typically invests
which involves a risk that the options or futures position will not track
the performance of the fund's other investments.
Options and futures prices can also diverge from the prices of their
underlying instruments, even if the underlying instruments match a fund's
investments well. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors
as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility
of the underlying instrument, and the time remaining until expiration of
the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect
correlation may also result from differing levels of demand in the options
and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences
in how options and futures and securities are traded, or from imposition of
daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. A fund may purchase or
sell options and futures contracts with a greater or lesser value than the
securities it wishes to hedge or intends to purchase in order to attempt to
compensate for differences in volatility between the contract and the
securities, although this may not be successful in all cases. If price
changes in a fund's options or futures positions are poorly correlated with
its other investments, the positions may fail to produce anticipated gains
or result in losses that are not offset by gains in other investments.
LIQUIDITY OF OPTIONS AND FUTURES CONTRACTS. There is no assurance a liquid
secondary market will exist for any particular options or futures contract
at any particular time. Options may have relatively low trading volume and
liquidity if their strike prices are not close to the underlying
instrument's current price. In addition, exchanges may establish daily
price fluctuation limits for options and futures contracts, and may halt
trading if a contract's price moves upward or downward more than the limit
in a given day. On volatile trading days when the price fluctuation limit
is reached or a trading halt is imposed, it may be impossible for a fund to
enter into new positions or close out existing positions. If the secondary
market for a contract is not liquid because of price fluctuation limits or
otherwise, it could prevent prompt liquidation of unfavorable positions,
and potentially could require a fund to continue to hold a position until
delivery or expiration regardless of changes in its value. As a result,
the fund's access to other assets held to cover its options or futures
positions could also be impaired.
OTC OPTIONS. Unlike exchange-traded options, which are standardized with
respect to the underlying instrument, expiration date, contract size, and
strike price, the terms of over-the-counter options (options not traded on
exchanges) generally are established through negotiation with the other
party to the option contract. While this type of arrangement allows a fund
greater flexibility to tailor an option to its needs, OTC options generally
involve greater credit risk than exchange-traded options, which are
guaranteed by the clearing organization of the exchanges where they are
traded.
OPTIONS AND FUTURES RELATING TO FOREIGN CURRENCIES. Currency futures
contracts are similar to forward currency exchange contracts, except that
they are traded on exchanges (and have margin requirements) and are
standardized as to contract size and delivery date. Most currency futures
contracts call for payment or delivery in U.S. dollars. The underlying
instrument of a currency option may be a foreign currency, which generally
is purchased or delivered in exchange for U.S. dollars, or may be a futures
contract. The purchaser of a currency call obtains the right to purchase
the underlying currency, and the purchaser of a currency put obtains the
right to sell the underlying currency.
The uses and risks of currency options and futures are similar to options
and futures relating to securities or indices, as discussed above. The
funds may purchase and sell currency futures and may purchase and write
currency options to increase or decrease their exposure to different
foreign currencies. The funds may also purchase and write currency options
in conjunction with each other or with currency futures or forward
contracts. Currency futures and options values can be expected to
correlate with exchange rates, but may not reflect other factors that
affect the value of the funds' investments. A currency hedge, for example,
should protect a Yen-denominated security from a decline in the Yen, but
will not protect a fund against a price decline resulting from
deterioration in the issuer's creditworthiness. Because the value of a
fund's foreign-denominated investments changes in response to many factors
other than exchange rates, it may not be possible to match the amount of
currency options and futures to the value of the fund's investments exactly
over time.
ASSET COVERAGE FOR FUTURES AND OPTIONS POSITIONS. The funds will comply
with guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission with
respect to coverage of options and futures strategies by mutual funds, and
if the guidelines so require will set aside appropriate liquid assets in a
segregated custodial account in the amount prescribed. Securities held in
a segregated account cannot be sold while the futures or option strategy is
outstanding, unless they are replaced with other suitable assets. As a
result, there is a possibility that segregation of a large percentage of a
fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the fund's ability to
meet redemption requests or other current obligations.
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on
behalf of the funds by FMR (either directly or, for the money market fund,
through an affiliated sub-adviser) pursuant to authority contained in each
fund's management contract. FMR is also responsible for the placement of
transaction orders for other investment companies and accounts for which it
or its affiliates act as investment adviser. Securities purchased and sold
by the money market fund will generally be traded on a net basis (i.e.,
without commission). In selecting broker-dealers, subject to the
applicable limitations of the federal securities laws, FMR considers
various relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the size and type
of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the
security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement
capability, and financial condition of the broker-dealer firm; the
broker-dealer's execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the
reasonableness of any commissions; and, for the stock funds, arrangements
for payment of fund expenses. Commissions for foreign investments traded
on foreign exchanges will generally be higher than for U.S. investments and
may not be subject to negotiation.
Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers who
provide research and execution services to the funds and other accounts
over which FMR or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. Such
services may include advice concerning the value of securities; the
advisability of investing in, purchasing, or selling securities; the
availability of securities or the purchasers or sellers of securities;
furnishing analyses and reports concerning issuers, industries, securities,
economic factors and trends, portfolio strategy, and performance of
accounts; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions
incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The selection of
such broker-dealers is generally made by FMR (to the extent possible
consistent with execution considerations) in accordance with a ranking of
broker-dealers determined periodically by FMR's investment staff based upon
the quality of research and execution services provided.
The receipt of research from broker-dealers that execute transactions on
behalf of the funds may be useful to FMR in rendering investment management
services to a fund or its other clients, and conversely, such research
provided by broker-dealers who have executed transaction orders on behalf
of other FMR clients may be useful to FMR in carrying out its obligations
to the funds. The receipt of such research has not reduced FMR's normal
independent research activities; however, it enables FMR to avoid the
additional expenses that could be incurred if FMR tried to develop
comparable information through its own efforts.
Subject to applicable limitations of the federal securities laws,
broker-dealers may receive commissions for agency transactions that are in
excess of the amount of commissions charged by other broker-dealers in
recognition of their research and execution services. In order to cause a
fund to pay such higher commissions, FMR must determine in good faith that
such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage
and research services provided by such executing broker-dealers, viewed in
terms of a particular transaction or FMR's overall responsibilities to the
fund and its other clients. In reaching this determination, FMR will not
attempt to place a specific dollar value on the brokerage and research
services provided, or to determine what portion of the compensation should
be related to those services.
FMR is authorized to use research services provided by and to place
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms that have provided assistance
in the distribution of shares of the funds or shares of other Fidelity
funds to the extent permitted by law. FMR may use research services
provided by and place agency transactions with Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Inc. (FBSI) and Fidelity Brokerage Services, Ltd. (FBSL), subsidiaries of
FMR Corp., if the commissions are fair, reasonable, and comparable to
commissions charged by non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms for
similar services. Prior to September 4, 1992, FBSL operated under the name
Fidelity Portfolio Services, Ltd. (FPSL) as a wholly owned subsidiary of
Fidelity International Limited (FIL). Edward C. Johnson 3d is Chairman of
FIL. Mr. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the
benefit of the Johnson family , own directly or indirectly, more than 25%
of the voting common stock of FIL.
FMR may allocate transactions to broker-dealers who have entered into
arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of
the commissions paid by the fund toward payment of the fund's expenses such
as transfer agent fees of FSC or custodian fees. The transaction quality
must, however, be comparable to those of other qualified broker-dealers.
Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits members of
national securities exchanges from executing exchange transactions for
accounts which they or their affiliates manage, except if certain
requirements are satisfied. Pursuant to such requirements, the Board of
Trustees has authorized FBSI to execute fund portfolio transactions on
national securities exchanges in accordance with approved procedures and
applicable SEC rules.
The Trustees periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities
in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the
funds and review the commissions paid by the funds over representative
periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the
benefits to the funds.
The stock funds' annual portfolio turnover rates for the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1994 and the fiscal period May 1, 1992 to
February 28, 1993 are listed in the table on page 21 . The
stock funds' annual portfolio turnover rates may be substantially greater
than those of other equity investment companies. The significantly higher
or lower portfolio turnover rates from year to year are primarily the
result of fluctuations in asset levels and FMR's assessment of changing
economic conditions throughout each year for various industries. High
turnover may also be the result of short-term shareholder trading activity
which increases brokerage and operating costs. This shareholder activity
may also result in required purchases or sales of portfolio securities at
disadvantageous times.
The brokerage commissions incurred by each stock fund for the fiscal year
ended February 28, 1994, the 1993 fiscal period, and the fiscal year ended
April 30, 1992 are also listed in the table on page 21 . The
significantly higher or lower brokerage commissions paid by many of the
funds from year to year are primarily a result of changing asset levels
throughout the year. During fiscal 1994, the funds paid commissions to
brokerage firms that provided research services, although the provision of
such services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all of this
business with these firms. The percentage of brokerage commissions paid by
each fund during fiscal 1994 to brokerage firms that provided research
services is also listed in the table on page 21.

** Commenced operations April 21, 1993
The funds pay both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement
of portfolio transactions; FBSI is paid on a commission basis. During
fiscal 1994, the fiscal period ended February 28, 1993, and the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1992, the stock funds paid brokerage commissions to FBSI,
the amounts of which are listed in the table on page 23 entitled "Brokerage
Commissions paid to FBSI." This table also lists the percentage of each
fund's aggregate brokerage commissions paid to FBSI during the fiscal 1994
as well as the percentage of each fund's aggregate dollar amount of
transactions executed through FBSI. The difference in the percentage of
the brokerage commissions paid to and the percentage of the dollar amount
of transactions effected through FBSI is a result of the low commission
rates charged by FBSI.
During the 1993 fiscal period and fiscal 1992, some stock funds also
paid brokerage commissions to FBSL, the amounts of which are listed in the
table entitled "Brokerage Commissions Paid to FBSL"on page 24. There
were no fees paid to FBSL in fiscal 1994. The table also lists the
percentage of each fund's aggregate brokerage commissions paid to FBSL
during fiscal 1994, and the percentage of each fund's aggregate dollar
amount of transactions executed through FBSL during the same period. The
difference in the percentage of brokerage commissions paid to and the
percentage of the dollar amount of transactions executed through FBSL is a
result of the lower commission rates charged by FBSL.
From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the
benefit of the funds of some portion of the brokerage commissions or
similar fees paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally
permissible and advisable. The funds seek to recapture soliciting
broker-dealer fees on the tender of portfolio securities, but at present no
other recapture arrangements are in effect. The Trustees intend to
continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are
legally permissible and, if so, to determine, in the exercise of their
business judgment, whether it would be advisable for the funds to seek such
recapture.
Although the Trustees and officers of the funds are substantially the same
as those of other funds managed by FMR, investment decisions for each fund
are made independently from those of other funds managed by FMR or accounts
managed by FMR affiliates. Likewise, the investment decisions for each
Select fund are made independently of those for the other Select funds. It
sometimes happens that the same security is held in the portfolio of more
than one of these funds or other Fidelity funds or accounts. Simultaneous
transactions are inevitable when several funds and accounts are
managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security
is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or
account .
When two or more funds are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance
with a formula considered by the officers of the funds involved to be
equitable to each fund. In some cases this system could have a detrimental
effect on the price or value of the security as far as a fund is concerned.
In other cases, however, the ability of a fund to participate in volume
transactions will produce better executions and prices for the fund. It is
the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR
as investment adviser to the funds outweighs any disadvantages that may be
said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.

VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES
Each stock fund's net asset value is determined hourly during
business hours observed by the New York Stock Exchange. Currently, the
Exchange is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through
Friday. The Board has approved the following "valuation times" for the
determination of each fund's net asset value: 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m.,
12:00 noon, 1:00 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. At each
valuation time, the value of each fund's assets will be determined in the
manner described below .
STOCK FUNDS. Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending
on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity
securities for which the primary market is the U.S. are valued at last sale
price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Equity
securities for which the primary market is outside the U.S. are valued
using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal
market where they are traded. If the last sale price (on the local
exchange) is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or last bid price is
normally used. Short-term securities are valued either at amortized cost
or at original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate
current value. Fixed-income securities are valued primarily by a pricing
service that uses a vendor security valuation matrix which incorporates
both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques.
This twofold approach is believed to more accurately reflect fair value
because it takes into account appropriate factors such as institutional
trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate,
maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data,
without exclusive reliance upon quoted, exchange, or over-the counter
prices. Use of pricing services has been approved by the Board of
Trustees.
Securities and other assets for which there is no readily available market
are valued in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of Trustees.
The procedures set forth above need not be used to determine the value of
the securities owned by the fund if, in the opinion of a committee
appointed by the Board of Trustees, some other method (e.g., closing
over-the-counter bid prices in the case of debt instruments traded on an
exchange) would more accurately reflect the fair market value of such
securities.
Generally, the valuation of foreign and domestic equity securities, as well
as corporate bonds, U.S. government securities, money market instruments,
and repurchase agreements, is substantially completed each day at the close
of the NYSE. The values of any such securities held by the fund are
determined as of such time for the purpose of computing the fund's net
asset value. Foreign security prices are furnished by independent brokers
or quotation services which express the value of securities in their local
currency. FSC gathers all exchange rates daily at the close of the NYSE
using the last quoted price on the local currency and then translates the
value of foreign securities from their local currency into U.S. dollars.
Any changes in the value of forward contracts due to exchange rate
fluctuations and days to maturity are included in the calculation of net
asset value. If an extraordinary event that is expected to materially
affect the value of a portfolio security occurs after the close of an
exchange on which that security is traded, then the security will be valued
as determined in good faith by a committee appointed by the Board of
Trustees.
MONEY MARKET FUND. The fund values its investments on the basis of
amortized cost. This technique involves valuing an instrument at its cost
as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather
than its value based on current market quotations or appropriate
substitutes which reflect current market conditions. The amortized cost
value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price the fund would
receive if it sold the instrument.
Valuing the fund's instruments on the basis of amortized cost and use of
the term "money market fund" are permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The fund must adhere to certain conditions
under Rule 2a-7; these conditions are summarized in the Prospectus.
The Board of Trustees oversees FMR's adherence to SEC rules concerning
money market funds, and has established procedures designed to stabilize
the fund's NAV at $1.00. At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the
Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market
valuations would deviate from $1.00 per share. If the Trustees believe
that a deviation from the fund's amortized cost per share may result in
material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees
have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem
appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable,
the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include
selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or
losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends;
redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market
quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.
During periods of declining interest rates, the fund's yield based on
amortized cost may be higher than the yield based on market valuations.
Under these circumstances, a shareholder in the fund would be able to
obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result if the fund utilized
market valuations to determine its NAV. The converse would apply in a
period of rising interest rates.
PERFORMANCE
The funds may quote performance in various ways. All performance
information supplied by the funds in advertising is historical and is not
intended to indicate future returns. The stock funds' share prices, yields
and total returns, and the money market fund's yields and total returns,
fluctuate in response to market conditions and other factors. When
redeemed, the value of the stock funds' shares may be more or less than
their original cost.
TOTAL RETURN CALCULATIONS. Total returns quoted in advertising reflect all
aspects of a fund's return, including the effect of reinvesting dividends
and capital gain distributions, and any change in a fund's net asset value
per share (NAV) over the period. Average annual returns are calculated by
determining the growth or decline in value of a hypothetical historical
investment in a fund over a stated period, and then calculating the
annually compounded percentage rate that would have produced the same
result if the rate of growth or decline in value had been constant over the
period. For example, a cumulative return of 100% over ten years would
produce an average annual return of 7.18%, which is the steady annual rate
that would equal 100% growth on a compounded basis in ten years. While
average annual returns are a convenient means of comparing investment
alternatives, investors should realize that each fund's performance is not
constant over time, but changes from year to year, and that average annual
returns represent averaged figures as opposed to the actual year-to-year
performance of each fund.
In addition to average annual returns, a fund may quote unaveraged or
cumulative total returns reflecting the simple change in value of an
investment over a stated period. Average annual and cumulative total
returns may be quoted as a percentage or as a dollar amount, and may be
calculated for a single investment, a series of investments, and/or a
series of redemptions, over any time period. Total returns may be broken
down into their components of income and capital (including capital gains
and changes in share price) in order to illustrate the relationship of
these factors and their contributions to total return. An example of this
type of illustration is given on pages 27 to 33 . Total returns may
be quoted with or without taking the funds' 3% sales charge into account.
Total returns generally will not include the effect of paying exchange or
redemption fees or other charges for special transactions or services.
Excluding fees or charges from a total return calculation produces a higher
total return figure. Total returns, yields, and other performance
information may be quoted numerically or in a table, graph, or similar
illustration.
NET ASSET VALUE. Charts and graphs using a stock fund's net asset values,
adjusted net asset values, and benchmark indices may be used to exhibit
performance. An adjusted NAV includes any distributions paid by the fund
and reflects all elements of its return. Unless otherwise indicated, the
fund's adjusted NAVs are not adjusted for sales charges, if any.
MOVING AVERAGES. A stock fund may illustrate performance using
moving averages. A long-term moving average is the average of each week's
adjusted closing NAV for a specified period. A short-term moving average
is the average of each day's adjusted closing NAV for a specified period.
Moving Average Activity Indicators combine adjusted closing NAVs from the
last business day of each week with moving averages for a specified period
to produce indicators showing when an NAV has crossed, stayed above, or
stayed below its moving average. On February 25 , 1994, the 13-week
and 39-week short-term moving averages for each stock fund were as
follows: Air Transportation, 17.22 and 16.18 ; American Gold,
23.43 and 21.60 ; Automotive, 25.30 and 23.63 ;
Biotechnology, 28.34 and 26.71 ; Brokerage and Investment

The table below shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment
invested in each equity fund from its commencement of operations, or
February 2 9 , 1984 for funds in operation for ten years or more,
through February 28, 1994, after deducting the funds' 3% sales charge and
assuming all distributions were reinvested. The table compares each fund's
return to the record of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price
Index (S&P 500) and the cost of living (measured by the Consumer Price
Index, or CPI) over the same period. The S&P 500 comparison is
provided to show how each fund's total return compared to the record of a
broad average of common stock prices. Each fund has the ability to invest
in securities not included in the index, and its investment portfolio
normally will not be similar in composition to the index. The S&P 500
is based on the prices of unmanaged groups of stocks and assumes
reinvestment of dividends paid on those stocks. Unlike each fund's
returns, its return does not include the effect of paying brokerage
commissions and other costs of investing. S&P 500 is a registered
trademark of Standard & Poor's Corporation. The figures below (rounded
to the nearest dollar) represent the value of an investment in each fund
before redemption, and do not take the stock funds' exchange or redemption
fees into account. This was a period of widely fluctuating stock prices,
and should not be considered representative of the dividend income or
capital gain or loss that could be realized from investments in the funds
today.

* Cost of Living as measured by the Consumer Price Index starting at the

Explanatory Notes: Investments in the funds are subject to a sales charge
of 3% of the offering price (or 3.09% of the net amount invested). After
deduction of the sales charge, the net amount invested in shares of each
fund was $9,700. Values for each fund are based on changes in net asset
value, including net investment income earned and net capital gains
realized during each period by each fund.
The table on the next page reflects the cost of the initial $10,000
investment in each of the stock funds, plus the aggregate cost of
reinvested dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, from
commencement of operations, or February 28, 1984 for funds in operation for
ten years or more, through February 28, 1994. If no additional shares of
these funds had been acquired through the reinvestment of distributions,
the cash payments from these funds would have come to the amounts shown in
column (A) for capital gain distributions, and the amounts shown in column
(B) for income dividends. No adjustment has been made for a shareholder's
income tax liability on dividends and capital gain distributions.

YIELD CALCULATIONS. To compute the money market fund's yield for a period,
the net change in value of a hypothetical account containing one share
reflects the value of additional shares purchased with dividends from the
original share and dividends declared on both the original share and any
additional shares. The net change is then divided by the value of the
account at the beginning of the period to obtain a base period return.
This base period return is annualized to obtain a current annualized yield.
The money market fund may also calculate an effective yield by compounding
the base period return over a one-year period. In addition to current
yield, the fund may quote yields in advertising based on any historical
seven-day period.
Yield information may be useful in reviewing the fund's performance and in
providing a basis for comparison with other investment alternatives.
However, the fund's yield fluctuates, unlike investments that pay a fixed
interest rate over a stated period of time. The fund's yield is calculated
on the same basis as yields for other money market funds, as required by
regulations. When comparing investment alternatives, investors should also
note the quality and maturity of the portfolio securities of the respective
investment companies they have chosen to consider.
Investors should recognize that in periods of declining interest rates the
fund's yield will tend to be somewhat higher than prevailing market rates,
and in periods of rising interest rates the fund's yield will tend to be
somewhat lower. Also, when interest rates are falling, the inflow of net
new money to the fund from the continuous sale of its shares will likely be
invested in instruments producing lower yields than the balance of the
fund's holdings, thereby reducing the fund's current yield. In periods of
rising interest rates, the opposite can be expected to occur.
The money market fund may reference the growth and variety of money market
mutual funds and the adviser's innovation and participation in the
industry.
A fund's performance may be compared to the performance of other mutual
funds in general, or to the performance of particular types of mutual
funds. These comparisons may be expressed as mutual fund rankings
prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper), an independent
service located in Summit, New Jersey that monitors the performance of
mutual funds. Lipper generally ranks funds on the basis of total return,
assuming reinvestment of distributions, but does not take sales charges or
redemption fees into consideration, and is prepared without regard to tax
consequences. Lipper may also rank money market funds based on yield. In
addition to the mutual fund rankings, a fund's performance may be compared
to mutual fund performance indices prepared by Lipper.
From time to time, a fund's performance may also be compared to other
mutual funds tracked by financial or business publications and periodicals.
For example, the fund may quote Morningstar, Inc. in its advertising
materials. Morningstar, Inc. is a mutual fund rating service that rates
mutual funds on the basis of risk-adjusted performance. Rankings that
compare the performance of Fidelity funds to one another in appropriate
categories over specific periods of time may also be quoted in advertising.
Fidelity may provide information designed to help individuals understand
their investment goals and explore various financial strategies. For
example, Fidelity's FundMatchsm Program includes a workbook describing
general principles of investing, such as asset allocation, diversification,
risk tolerance, and goal setting; a questionnaire designed to help create a
personal financial profile; and an action plan offering investment
alternatives. Materials may also include discussions of Fidelity's three
asset allocation funds and other Fidelity funds, products, and services.
Ibbotson Associates of Chicago, Illinois (Ibbotson) provides historical
returns of the capital markets in the United States, including common
stocks, small capitalization stocks, long-term corporate bonds,
intermediate-term government bonds, long-term government bonds, Treasury
bills, the U.S. rate of inflation (based on the CPI), and combinations of
various capital markets. The performance of these capital markets is based
on the returns of different indices.
Fidelity funds may use the performance of these capital markets in order
to demonstrate general risk-versus-reward investment scenarios. Performance
comparisons may also include the value of a hypothetical investment in any
of these capital markets. The risks associated with the security types in
any capital market may or may not correspond directly to those of the
funds. Ibbotson calculates total returns in the same method as the funds.
The funds may also compare performance to that of other compilations or
indices that may be developed and made available in the future.
The funds may be compared in advertising to Certificates of Deposit
(CDs) or other investments issued by banks. The funds differ from bank
investments in several respects. The funds may offer greater liquidity or
higher potential returns than CDs; but unlike CDs, the funds do not
guarantee your principal or your return.
The money market fund may compare its performance or the performance of
securities in which it may invest to averages published by IBC USA
(Publications), Inc. of Ashland, Massachusetts. These averages assume
reinvestment of distributions. The IBC/Donoghue's MONEY FUND
AVERAGES(trademark)/All Taxable, which is reported in the MONEY FUND
REPORT(registered trademark), covers over 645 taxable money market funds.
In advertising materials, Fidelity may reference or discuss its products
and services, which may include: other Fidelity funds; retirement
investing; brokerage products and services; the effects of periodic
investment plans and dollar cost averaging; saving for college; charitable
giving; and the Fidelity credit card. In addition, Fidelity may quote
financial or business publications and periodicals, including model
portfolios or allocations, as they relate to fund management, investment
philosophy, and investment techniques. Fidelity may also reprint, and use
as advertising and sales literature, articles from Fidelity Focus, a
quarterly magazine provided free of charge to Fidelity fund shareholders.
A fund may present its fund number, Quotron(trademark) number, and CUSIP
number, and discuss or quote its current portfolio manager.
VOLATILITY. The stock funds may quote various measures of volatility and
benchmark correlation in advertising. In addition, a fund may compare
these measures to those of other funds. Measures of volatility seek to
compare the fund's historical share price fluctuations or total returns to
those of a benchmark. Measures of benchmark correlation indicate how valid
a comparative benchmark may be. All measures of volatility and correlation
are calculated using averages of historical data.
MOMENTUM INDICATORS indicate a stock fund's price movements over
specific periods of time. Each point on the momentum indicator represents
the fund's percentage change in price movements over that period.
The stock funds may advertise examples of the effects of periodic
investment plans, including the principle of dollar cost averaging. In
such a program, an investor invests a fixed dollar amount in a fund at
periodic intervals, thereby purchasing fewer shares when prices are high
and more shares when prices are low. While such a strategy does not assure
a profit or guard against loss in a declining market, the investor's
average cost per share can be lower than if fixed numbers of shares are
purchased at the same intervals. In evaluating such a plan, investors
should consider their ability to continue purchasing shares during periods
of low price levels.
A fund may be available for purchase through retirement plans or other
programs offering deferral of, or exemption from, income taxes, which may
produce superior after-tax returns over time. For example, a $1,000
investment earning a taxable return of 10% annually would have an after-tax
value of $1,949 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted from the return
each year at a 31% rate. An equivalent tax-deferred investment would have
an after-tax value of $2,100 after ten years, assuming tax was deducted at
a 31% rate from the tax-deferred earnings at the end of the ten-year
period.
As of February 28, 1994, FMR managed over $144 billion in equity fund
assets as defined and tracked by Lipper. This figure represents the
largest amount of equity fund assets under management by a mutual fund
investment adviser in the United States, making FMR America's leading
equity (stock) fund manager.
ADDITIONAL PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION INFORMATION
As provided for in Rule 22d-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, FDC
exercises its right to waive the funds' 3% sales charge on shares acquired
through reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions or in
connection with a fund's merger with or acquisition of any investment
company or trust.
In addition, the funds' sales charge will not apply (1) if you buy shares
as part of an employee benefit plan (including the Fidelity-sponsored
403(b) and corporate IRA programs but otherwise as defined in the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act) maintained by a U.S. employer and having
more than 200 eligible employees, or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets
invested in Fidelity mutual funds, or as part of an employee benefit plan
maintained by a U.S. employer that is a member of a parent-subsidiary group
of corporations (within the meaning of Section 1563(a)(1) of the Internal
Revenue Code, with "50%" substituted for "80%") any member of which
maintains an employee benefit plan having more than 200 eligible employees,
or a minimum of $3,000,000 in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual
funds, or as part of an employee benefit plan maintained by a non-U.S.
employer having 200 or more eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000
in plan assets invested in Fidelity mutual funds, the assets of which are
held in a bona fide trust for the exclusive benefit of employees
participating therein; (2) to shares purchased by an insurance company
separate account used to fund annuity contracts purchased by employee
benefit plans (including 403(b) programs, but otherwise as defined in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act), which, in the aggregate, have
either more than 200 eligible employees or a minimum of $3,000,000 in
assets invested in Fidelity funds; (3) to shares in a Fidelity IRA account
purchased (including purchases by exchange) with the proceeds of a
distribution from an employee benefit plan provided that: (i) at the time
of the distribution, the employer, or an affiliate (as described in
exemption (1) above) of such employer, maintained at least one employee
benefit plan that qualified for exemption (1) and that had at least some
portion of its assets invested in one or more mutual funds advised by FMR,
or in one or more accounts or pools advised by Fidelity Management Trust
Company; and (ii) the distribution is transferred from the plan to a
Fidelity Rollover IRA account within 60 days from the date of the
distribution; (4) if you are a charitable organization (as defined in
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code) investing $100,000 or more;
(5) if you purchase shares for a charitable remainder trust or life income
pool established for the benefit of a charitable organization (as defined
by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code); (6) if you are an
investor participating in the Fidelity Trust Portfolios program (these
investors must make initial investments of $100,000 or more in the Trust
Portfolios and must, during the initial six-month period, reach and
maintain an aggregate balance of at least $500,000 in all accounts and
subaccounts purchased through the Trust Portfolios program); (7) to shares
purchased through Portfolio Advisory Services; (8) if you are a current or
former Trustee or officer of a Fidelity fund or a current or retired
officer, director, or full-time employee of FMR Corp. or its direct or
indirect subsidiaries (a Fidelity Trustee or employee), the spouse of a
Fidelity Trustee or employee, a Fidelity Trustee or employee acting as
custodian for a minor child, or a person acting as trustee of a trust for
the sole benefit of the minor child of a Fidelity Trustee or employee; or
(9) if you are a bank trust officer, registered representative, or other
employee of a Qualified Recipient. Qualified Recipients are securities
dealers, or other entities, including banks and other financial
institutions, who have sold the funds' shares under special arrangements in
connection with FDC's sales activities. FDC has chosen to waive the fund's
sales charge in these instances because of the efficiencies involved in
sales of shares to these investors.
The fund's sales charge may be reduced to reflect sales charges previously
paid, or that would have been paid absent a reduction as noted in the
prospectus, in connection with investments in other Fidelity funds. This
includes reductions for investments in the following prototype or
prototype-like retirement plans sponsored by FMR or FMR Corp.: The Fidelity
IRA, The Fidelity Rollover IRA, The Fidelity SEP-IRA, The Fidelity 403(b)
Program, The Fidelity Investments 401(a) Prototype Plan for Tax-Exempt
Employers, and the CORPORATEplan for Retirement (Profit Sharing and Money
Purchase Plan).
Each fund is open for business and its net asset value per share (NAV) is
calculated hourly each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for
trading. The NYSE has designated the following holiday closings for 1994:
Washington's Birthday (observed), Good Friday, Memorial Day (observed),
Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day
(observed). Although FMR expects the same holiday schedule, with the
addition of New Year's Day, to be observed in the future, the NYSE may
modify its holiday schedule at any time.
FSC normally determines each fund's NAV hourly, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m., and the final determination of each fund's NAV will coincide with the
close of business of the NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time); however,
NAV calculations may cease earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or
as permitted by the SEC. To the extent that portfolio securities are traded
in other markets on days when the NYSE is closed, a fund's NAV may be
affected on days when investors do not have access to the fund to purchase
or redeem shares. Some foreign securities may not be traded
during the funds' business hours. Since these securities are generally
priced at their last determined price in their primary market, their
price may not change during the funds' business day.
If the Trustees determine that existing conditions make cash payments
undesirable, redemption payments may be made in whole or in part in
securities or other property, valued for this purpose as they are valued in
computing a fund's NAV. Shareholders receiving securities or other property
on redemption may realize a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur
any costs of sale, as well as the associated inconveniences.
Pursuant to Rule 11a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940
Act), each fund is required to give shareholders at least 60 days' notice
prior to terminating or modifying its exchange privilege. Under the Rule,
the 60-day notification requirement may be waived if (i) the only effect of
a modification would be to reduce or eliminate an administrative fee,
redemption fee, or deferred sales charge ordinarily payable at the time of
an exchange, or (ii) a fund suspends the redemption of the shares to be
exchanged as permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder, or the fund to be acquired suspends the sale of its shares
because it is unable to invest amounts effectively in accordance with its
investment objective and policies.
In the Prospectus, each fund has notified shareholders that it reserves
the right at any time, without prior notice, to refuse exchange purchases
by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to
invest effectively in accordance with its investment objective and
policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DISTRIBUTIONS. If you request to have distributions mailed to you and the
U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your checks, or if your checks remain
uncashed for six months, Fidelity may reinvest your distributions at the
then-current NAV. All subsequent distributions will then be reinvested
until you provide Fidelity with alternate instructions.
DIVIDENDS. A portion of the stock funds' dividends may qualify for the
dividends-received deduction available to corporate shareholders to the
extent that the funds' income is derived from qualifying dividends.
Because the funds may earn other types of income, such as interest, income
from securities loans, non-qualifying dividends and short-term capital
gains, the percentage of dividends from the stock funds that qualify for
the deduction will generally be less than 100%. Each fund will notify
corporate shareholders annually of the percentage of that fund's dividends
that qualify for the dividends-received deduction. A portion of the funds'
dividends derived from certain U.S. government obligations may be exempt
from state and local taxation. Gains (losses) attributable to foreign
currency fluctuations are generally taxable as ordinary income and
therefore will increase (decrease) dividend distributions. The funds will
send each shareholder a notice in January describing the tax status of
dividends and capital gain distributions for the prior year.
CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. Long-term capital gains earned by the funds on
the sale of securities and distributed to shareholders are federally
taxable as long-term capital gains, regardless of the length of time
shareholders have held their shares. If a shareholder receives a long-term
capital gain distribution on shares of a fund and such shares are held six
months or less and are sold at a loss, the portion of the loss equal to
the amount of the long-term capital gain distribution will be considered a
long-term loss for tax purposes.
Short-term capital gains distributed by the funds are taxable to
shareholders as dividends, not as capital gains. Distributions from
short-term capital gains do not qualify for the dividends-received
deduction.
FOREIGN TAXES. Foreign governments may withhold taxes on dividends and
interest paid with respect to foreign securities typically at a rate
between 10% and 35%. If, at the close of its fiscal year, more than 50% of
a fund's total assets are invested in securities of foreign issuers, each
fund will elect to pass through foreign taxes paid and thereby allow
shareholders to take a credit or deduction on their individual tax returns.
With the possible exception of the Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio,
FMR does not currently anticipate that the funds will qualify to pass
foreign taxes paid through to shareholders.
TAX STATUS OF THE FUNDS. Each fund has qualified and intends to continue
to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for tax purposes, so that it
will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed
to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company and
avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes, each fund intends to
distribute substantially all of its net investment income and realized
capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis.
Each fund intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated
investment companies, including a requirement that capital gains from the
sale of securities held less than three months constitute less than 30% of
a fund's gross income for each fiscal year. Gains from some forward
currency contracts, futures contracts, and options are included in this 30%
calculation, which may limit the funds' investments in such instruments.
Each fund is treated as a separate entity from the other portfolios of the
fund for tax purposes.
If a fund purchases shares in certain foreign investment entities, defined
as passive foreign investment companies (PFIC's) in the Internal Revenue
Code, it may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a portion of any
excess distribution or gain from the disposition of such shares. Interest
charges may also be imposed on the fund with respect to deferred taxes
arising from such distributions or gains.
As of February 28, 1994 the funds had capital loss carryovers available to
offset future capital gains, approximated as follows:

Subsequent to the reorganization of certain funds of the trust on October
26, 1990, the Insurance and Industrial Equipment Portfolios acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Life Insurance and Automation and
Machinery Portfolios, respectively. The Life Insurance and Automation and
Machinery Portfolios have capital loss carryovers of approximately $96,000
and $143,000, respectively, available to offset future realized capital
gains in the Insurance and Industrial Equipment Portfolios, respectively,
to the extent provided by regulations.
To the extent that capital loss carryovers are used to offset any future
capital gains, it is unlikely that the gains so offset will be distributed
to shareholders since any such distributions may be taxable to shareholders
as ordinary income.
OTHER TAX INFORMATION. The information above is only a summary of some of
the tax consequences generally affecting the funds and their shareholders
and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. In
addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and
local taxes on distributions received from the funds. Investors should
consult their tax advisors to determine whether the funds are suitable for
their particular tax situation.
FMR
FMR is a wholly owned subsidiary of FMR Corp., a parent company organized
in 1972. At present, the principal operating activities of FMR Corp. are
those conducted by three of its divisions as follows: FSC, which is the

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS
The trust employs FMR to furnish investment advisory and other services.
There is a separate management contract with FMR with respect to each fund.
Under its management contracts with the trust on behalf of each fund, FMR
acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of
Trustees, directs the investments of each fund in accordance with its
investment objective, policies, and limitations. FMR also provides the
funds with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the
funds' investments, and compensates all officers of the trust, all Trustees
who are "interested persons" of the trust or FMR, and all personnel of the
trust or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical, and
investment activities.
In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board
of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary
for the operation of the funds. These services include providing
facilities for maintaining the funds' organization; supervising relations
with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters,
and other persons dealing with the funds; preparing all general shareholder
communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining the funds'
records and the registration of the funds' shares under federal and state
law; developing management and shareholder services for the funds; and
furnishing reports, evaluations, and analyses on a variety of subjects to
the Board of Trustees.
In addition to the management fees payable to FMR and the fees payable to
FSC, each fund pays all of its expenses, without limitation, that are not
assumed by those parties. The funds pay for typesetting, printing, and
mailing proxy material to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the
custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. Although each fund's
management contract provides that the funds will pay for typesetting,
printing and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information,
notices, and reports to existing shareholders, the trust has entered into a
revised transfer agent agreement with FSC, pursuant to which FSC bears the
cost of providing these services to existing shareholders. Other expenses
paid by the funds include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, each
fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company
Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal and state
securities laws. The funds are also liable for such nonrecurring expenses
as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the funds may be a
party, and any obligation they may have to indemnify the trust's officers
and Trustees with respect to litigation.
MONEY MARKET FUND. FMR is the money market fund's manager pursuant to a
management contract dated March 1, 1994, which was approved by shareholders
on February 16, 1994.
For the services of FMR under the contract, the fund pays FMR a monthly
management fee calculated by adding a basic fee, which consists of a group
fee rate and an individual fund fee rate (.03%), to an income-based
component of 6% of the fund's gross income in excess of a 5% yield, and
multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts and
is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate
schedule shown on the left of the chart below. On the right, the effective
fee rate schedule shows the results of cumulatively applying the annualized
rates at varying asset levels. For example, the effective annual fee rate
at $ 250.2 billion of group net assets - their approximate
level for February 2 8 , 1994 - was .1604 %, which is the
weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net
assets up to 250.2 billion.

Based on the average net assets of funds advised by FMR for February 1994,
the basic fee rate would be calculated as follows:
GROUP FEE RATE INDIVIDUAL FUND FEE RATE BASIC FEE RATE
.1604 % + .03% = .1904 %
One twelfth (1/12) of the basic fee is applied to the fund's average net
assets for the current month, giving a dollar amount which is the basic fee
for that month.
If the fund's gross yield is 5% or less, the basic fee is the total
management fee. The income-based component of the proposed fee is added to
the basic fee when the fund's yield is greater than 5%. The income-based
fee equals 6% of that portion of the fund's gross income that represents a
gross yield of more than 5% per year. The maximum income-based component is
.24% (annualized) of average net assets, at a fund gross yield of 9%. Gross
income for this purpose, includes interest accrued and/or discount earned
(including both original issue discount and market discount) on portfolio
obligations, less amortization of premium. Realized and unrealized gains
and losses, if any, are not included in gross income.
The fund's management contract with FMR prior to March 1, 1994 was dated
May 1, 1987. For the services of FMR under the contract, the money market
fund paid FMR a monthly management fee computed on the basis of the fund's
gross income. To the extent that the fund's monthly gross income equalled
an annualized yield of 5% or less, FMR received 4% of that amount of the
fund's gross income. To the extent that the fund's monthly income exceeded
an annualized yield of 5%, FMR received 6% of that excess. For this
purpose, gross income includes interest accrued or discount earned
(including both original issue and market discount), less amortization of
premium. The amount of discount or premium on portfolio instruments is
fixed at the time of purchase. Realized and unrealized gains and losses,
if any, are not included in gross income.
Pursuant to the terms of the contract, limitations were imposed on the
compensation FMR could receive under the above formula. These limitations
were based on the fund's average monthly net assets as follows:
Annualized
Rate
On the first $1.5 billion .50%
On the portion in excess of $1.5 to $3.0 billion .45%
On the portion in excess of $3.0 billion to $4.5 billion .43%
On the portion in excess of $4.5 billion to $6.0 billion .41%
On the portion in excess of $6.0 billion .40%
SUB-ADVISER. With respect to the money market fund, FMR has entered into a
sub-advisory agreement with FMR Texas, dated March 1 , 1994 pursuant
to which FMR Texas has primary responsibility for providing portfolio
investment management services to the money market fund.
The sub-advisory agreement provides that FMR will pay FTX fees equal to 50%
of the management fee payable to FMR under its management contract with the
fund. The fees paid to FTX are not reduced by any voluntary or mandatory
expense reimbursements that may be in effect from time to time. During the
year ended February 28, 1994, the fiscal period May 1, 1992 to February 28,
1993, and the fiscal year ended April 30, 1992, FMR paid FTX fees of
$ 304,933 , $286,083, and $673,01 7 , respectively, with respect
to the money market fund.
STOCK FUNDS. FMR is each stock fund's manager pursuant to
management contracts dated March 1, 1994 and approved by shareholders on
February 16, 1994 . For the services of FMR under the contracts, the
funds each pay FMR a monthly management fee composed of the sum of two
elements: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.
The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the
registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts and
is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated schedule
shown on the left of the chart below. On the right, the effective annual
fee rate shows the results of cumulatively applying the annualized rates to
varying asset levels. For example, the effective annual group fee rate at
$ 250.2 billion of group net assets - their approximate level for
February 1994 - was .3223 %, which is the weighted average of the
respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $250.2
billion.

* The rates shown for average group assets in excess of $174 billion were
adopted by FMR on a voluntary basis on November 1, 1993 pending shareholder
approval of new management contracts reflecting the extended schedule. The
extended schedule provides for lower management fees as total assets under
management increase and was approved by shareholders on February 16, 1994.
The schedule above (minus the breakpoints added November 1, 1993) was
voluntarily adopted by FMR on January 1, 1992 pending shareholder approval
of new management contracts reflecting the extended schedule. On February
17, 1993, shareholders of the Home Finance Portfolio approved an amended
management contract which was effective March 1, 1993, containing the
revised group fee rate schedule. Prior to January 1, 1992, the fund's
group fee rate was based on a schedule with breakpoints ending at .310% for
average group assets in excess of $102 billion.
The individual fund fee rate is .30%. Based on the average net assets of
funds advised by FMR for February 1994, the annual management fee rate
would be calculated as follows:
Group Fee Rate Individual Fund Fee Rate Management Fee Rate
. 3223 % + .30% = . 6223 %
One twelfth (1/12) of this annual management fee rate is then applied to
each fund's average net assets for the current month, giving a dollar
amount which is the fee for that month.
FEES COLLECTED BY FMR. The table on page 44 provides information
about the management fees payable to FMR under the management contracts in
effect for the last three fiscal periods. The column entitled "Gross
Management Fees" provides the dollar amount of management fees provided for
under those contracts. The column entitled "Reimbursements" lists the sum
of any fees and other expenses of the fund that FMR effectively assumed by
reimbursing the funds for those expenses, as discussed below. Expense
reimbursements represent reductions of FMR's revenues from the funds. The
column entitled "Net Fees" represents the gross management fees payable to
FMR, less the amount of fee and expense reimbursements by FMR during the
period.
REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. To comply with the California Code of
Regulations, FMR will reimburse each fund if and to the extent that a
fund's aggregate annual operating expenses exceed specified percentages of
its average net assets. In connection with the expense limitation
regulations, each fund has received an order which permits excluding from
aggregate operating expenses a portion of its transfer and shareholder's
servicing agent fees and out-of-pocket expenses. The applicable
percentages are 2 1/2% of the first $30 million, 2% of the next $70
million, and 1 1/2% of average net assets in excess of $100 million. When
calculating each fund's expenses for purposes of this regulation, a fund
may exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary
expenses, as well as a portion of its custodian fees attributable to
investments in foreign securities. In addition, the fund has agreed to a
condition imposed by the State of California which requires certain funds,
for purposes of the expense limitation regulations, to include in aggregate
operating expenses all expenses incurred in connection with the
acquisition, retention, and disposal of gold, including brokerage
commissions. Also, FMR voluntarily limits expenses, excluding interest,
taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses of each fund to 2
1/2% of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISERS. On behalf of the stock funds, FMR has entered into
sub-advisory agreements with FMR U.K. and FMR Far East. Pursuant to the
sub-advisory agreements, FMR may receive investment advice and research
services outside the United States from the sub-advisers.
On behalf of the stock funds, FMR may also grant the sub-advisers
investment management authority as well as the authority to buy and sell
securities if FMR believes it would be beneficial to the funds.
Currently, FMR U.K. and FMR Far East each focus on issuers in countries
other than the United States such as those in Europe, Asia, and the Pacific
Basin.
FMR U.K. and FMR Far East are wholly owned subsidiaries of FMR.
Under the sub-advisory agreements FMR pays the fees of FMR U.K. and FMR Far
East. For providing non-discretionary investment advice and research
services, the sub-advisers are compensated as follows:
(bullet) FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East fees equal to 110% and 105%,
respectively, of FMR U.K.'s and FMR Far East's costs incurred in connection
with providing investment advice and research services.
On behalf of the stock funds or providing discretionary investment
management and executing portfolio transactions, the sub-advisers are
compensated as follows:
(bullet) FMR pays FMR U.K. and FMR Far East a fee equal to 50% of its
monthly management fee with respect to the fund's average net assets
managed by the sub-adviser on a discretionary basis.

CONTRACTS WITH COMPANIES AFFILIATED WITH FMR
FSC is transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholders' servicing agent for
the funds. Under the trust's contract with FSC, the stock funds pay an
annual fee of $64.32 per basic retail account with a balance of
$5,000 or more, $35.73 per basic retail account with a balance of
less than $5,000 and a supplemental activity charge of $2.25 for
standing order transactions and $6.11 for other monetary transactions.
The money market fund pays an annual fee of $14.04 per basic retail
account with a balance of $5,000 or more, $10.21 per basic retail
account with a balance of less than $5,000 and a supplemental activity
charge of $2.25 for standing order transactions and $6.11 for other
monetary transactions. These fees and charges are subject to annual cost
escalation based on postal rate changes and changes in wage and price
levels as measured by the National Consumer Price Index for Urban Areas.
With respect to institutional client master accounts, each fund pays FSC a
per-account fee of $95, and monetary transaction charges of $20 or $17.50,
depending on the nature of services provided. With respect to certain
broker-dealer master accounts, the funds pay FSC a per-account fee of $30
and a charge of $6 for monetary transactions. Fees for certain
institutional retirement plan accounts are based on the net assets of all
such accounts in each fund.
Under the contract, FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with
providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of
typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional
information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to
shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.
The table below shows the transfer agent fees paid to FSC for
each fund for the fiscal year ended February 28, 1994, the fiscal
period May 1, 1992 to February 28, 1993, and the fiscal year ended April
30, 1992 . If a portion of the fund's brokerage commissions had
not resulted in payment of certain of these fees, the fund would have paid
the transfer agent fees shown in the column on the far right.

The trust's contract with FSC also provides that FSC will perform the
calculations necessary to determine each fund's net asset value per share
and dividends, and maintain each fund's accounting records. Prior to July
1, 1991, the annual fee for these pricing and bookkeeping services was
based on two schedules, one pertaining to each fund's average net assets,
and one pertaining to the type and number of transactions each fund made.
The fee rates in effect as of July 1, 1991 are based on each fund's average
net assets, specifically, .10% for the first $500 million of average net
assets and .05% for average net assets in excess of $500 million. The fee
is limited to a minimum of $45,000 and a maximum of $750,000 per year.
The table below shows the fees paid to FSC for pricing and bookkeeping
services, including related out-of-pocket expenses for each fund for the
1994 fiscal period and fiscal 1993 and 1992.

FSC also receives fees for administering each fund's securities lending
program. Securities lending fees are based on the number and duration of
individual securities loans. The table on the next page shows the
securities lending fees paid to FSC for fiscal 1994 and the fiscal period
ended February 28, 1993. For fiscal 1992 the fees for securities lending

From December 1, 1987 to November 15, 1989, the fund charged a $25 fee for
exchanges among the Select funds (excluding exchanges out of the money
market fund and the Select Cash Reserves Account). Out of this $25
exchange fee, $15 was retained by FSC and the remaining $10 was credited to
the fund from which the exchange originated and used to offset the fund's
transfer agent expenses. During the period May 1, 1989 to November 15,
1989 and the fiscal year ended April 30, 1989 aggregate exchange fees
credited to the funds amounted to $792,990 and $1,708,984, respectively.
The aggregate exchange fees retained by FSC during the fiscal
period s ended February 28, 1994 and 1993 and the
fiscal year ended April 30, 1992 amounted to $4,248,878,
$2,069,471, and $2,009,728, respectively. Exchange fees
retained by FSC or credited to the funds are not reflected in the table on
page 46. Currently, FSC is credited with a $7.50 exchange fee for each
exchange from a stock fund, including each exchange from a
stock fund to another Fidelity fund. The funds are credited with
redemption fees, the amounts of which are based on the length of time
shares are held in an equity fund prior to redemption.
Each fund has a distribution agreement with FDC, a Massachusetts
corporation organized on July 18, 1960. FDC is a broker-dealer registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Each fund's distribution agreement
calls for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other
business, to secure purchasers for shares of each fund, which are
continuously offered. Promotional and administrative expenses in
connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FDC.
For the fiscal period s ended February 28, 1994 and 1993 and
for fiscal 1992, FDC collected, in the aggregate, $1,507,482,
$1,331,160, and $2,651,710 , respectively, of deferred
sales charges from the total value of shares redeemed by shareholders in
all funds and from the Select Cash Reserves Account. Beginning on June 15,
1983, the funds' shares were sold subject to a 2% sales charge. On October
12, 1990, the fund's 2% sales charge was increased to 3% and the 1%
deferred sales charge was eliminated. FDC received aggregate sales charge
revenue for the fiscal period s ended February 28, 1994 and
1993 and for fiscal 1992 in amounts of $47,390,126, $22,273,836,
and $37,889,250, respectively.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST
TRUST ORGANIZATION. Fidelity Select Portfolios is an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on November
20, 1980. Subsequent to the reorganization of certain funds of the trust
on October 26, 1990, Automation and Machinery Portfolio, Life Insurance
Portfolio, and Restaurant Industry Portfolio no longer exist. Also due to
the reorganization, Capital Goods Portfolio was renamed "Industrial
Technology Portfolio," and Property and Casualty Insurance Portfolio was
renamed "Insurance Portfolio." Subsequent to an additional reorganization
on February 25, 1994, Electric Utilities Portfolio no longer exists.
On April 30 , 1994, Broadcast and Media Portfolio was renamed
"Multimedia Portfolio."
On February 17, 1993, Savings and Loan Portfolio was renamed "Home Finance
Portfolio."
On June 29, 1992, Industrial Technology Portfolio was renamed "Industrial
Equipment Portfolio."
On June 14, 1990, Housing Portfolio was renamed "Construction and Housing
Portfolio."
On July 10, 1987, Health Care Delivery Portfolio was renamed "Medical
Delivery Portfolio."
On July 29, 1985, Leisure and Entertainment Portfolio was renamed "Leisure
Portfolio."
Currently there are thirty-six funds of the trust. The Declaration of
Trust permits the Trustees to create additional funds.
In the event that FMR cease to be the investment adviser to the trust or a
fund, the right of the trust or fund to use the identifying name "Fidelity"
may be withdrawn. There is a remote possibility that one fund might become
liable for any misstatement in its prospectus or statement of additional
information about another fund.
The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each
fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject only
to the rights of creditors, are especially allocated to such fund, and
constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of
each fund are segregated on the books of account, and are to be charged
with the liabilities with respect to such fund and with a share of the
general expenses of the trust. Expenses with respect to the trust are to
be allocated in proportion to the asset value of the respective funds,
except where allocations of direct expense can otherwise be fairly made.
The officers of the trust, subject to the general supervision of the Board
of Trustees, have the power to determine which expenses are allocable to a
given fund, or which are general or allocable to all of the funds. In the
event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each
fund are entitled to receive as a class the underlying assets of such fund
available for distribution.
SHAREHOLDER AND TRUSTEE LIABILITY. The trust is an entity of the type
commonly known as "Massachusetts business trust." Under Massachusetts law,
shareholders of such a trust may, under certain circumstances, be held
personally liable for the obligations of the trust. The Declaration of
Trust provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders
except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that
each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the
trust or the Trustees shall include a provision limiting the obligations
created thereby to the trust and its assets. The Declaration of Trust also
provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any
claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund
and satisfy any judgement thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder
incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to
circumstances in which the fund itself would be unable to meet its
obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal
liability to shareholders is remote.
The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trustees, if they have
exercised reasonable care, will not be liable for nay neglect or
wrongdoing, but nothing in the Declaration of Trust protects Trustees
against any liability to which they would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of
the duties involved in the conduct of their office.
VOTING RIGHTS. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial
interest. As a shareholder, you receive one vote for each dollar value of
net asset value per share you own. The shares have no preemptive or
conversion rights; the voting and dividend rights, the right of redemption,
and the privilege of exchange are described in the Prospectus.
S hare s are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth
under the heading "Shareholder and T rustee L iability" above.
Shareholder representing 10% or more of the trust or a fund may, as set
forth in the Declaration of Trust, call meetings of the trust or a fund for
any purpose related to the trust or fund, as the case may be including, in
the case of a meeting of the entire trust, the purpose of voting on removal
of one or more Trustees. The trust or the fund may be terminated upon the
sale of its assets to another open-end management investment company,or
upon liquidation and distribution of its assets, if approved by vote of the
holders of a majority of the trust or the fund, as determined by the
current value of each shareholder's investment in the fund or trust. If
not so terminated, the trust and the funds will continue indefinitely.
Each fund may invest all of its assets in another investment
company.
CUSTODIAN. Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., 40 Water Street, Boston,
Massachusetts, is custodian of the assets of the stock funds. The Bank of
New York, 110 Washington Street, New York, New York is custodian of the
assets of the money market fund. The custodian is responsible for the
safekeeping of the fund's assets and the appointment of subcustodian banks
and clearing agencies. The custodian takes no part in determining the
investment policies of the funds or in deciding which securities are
purchased or sold by the funds. The funds may, however, invest in
obligations of the custodian and may purchase securities from or sell
securities to the custodian.
FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies, and the trust's
Trustees may from time to time have transactions with various banks,
including banks serving as custodians for certain of the funds advised by
FMR. The Boston branch of the stock funds' custodian leases its office
space from an affiliate of FMR at a lease payment which, when entered into,
was consistent with prevailing market rates. Transactions that have
occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans.
In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were
not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund
relationships.
AUDITOR. Price Waterhouse, 160 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts,
serves as the trust's independent accountant. The auditor examines
financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax, and
related services.

authority, in their sole discretion and without obtaining any prior
authorization or vote of the Shareholders or any Series or class of
Shareholders of the Trust, to create and establish (and to change in any
manner) Shares or any classes thereof with such preferences, voting powers,
rights and privileges as the Trustees may from time to time determine, to
divide or combine the Shares or any Series or classes thereof into a
greater or lesser number, to classify or reclassify any issued Shares or
any Series or classes thereof into one or more Series or classes of Shares,
to abolish any one or more Series or classes of Shares, and to take such
other action with respect to the Shares as the Trustees may deem desirable.
ESTABLISHMENT OF SERIES
Section 2. The establishment of any Series shall be effective upon the
adoption of a resolution by a majority of the then Trustees setting forth
such establishment and designation and the relative rights and preferences
of the Shares of such Series. At any time that there are no Shares
outstanding of any particular Series previously established and designated,
the Trustees may by a majority vote abolish that Series and the
establishment and designation thereof.
OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
Section 3. The ownership of Shares shall be recorded in the books of the
Trust. The Trustees may make such rules as they consider appropriate for
the transfer of Shares and similar matters. The record books of the Trust
shall be conclusive as to who are the holders of Shares and as to the
number of Shares held from time to time by each Shareholder.
INVESTMENT IN THE TRUST
Section 4. The Trustees shall accept investments in the Trust from such
persons and on such terms as they may from time to time authorize. Such
investments may be in the form of cash or securities in which the
appropriate Series is authorized to invest, valued as provided in Article
X, Section 3. After the date of the initial contribution of capital, the
number of Shares to represent the initial contribution may in the Trustees'
discretion be considered as outstanding and the amount received by the
Trustees on account of the contribution shall be treated as an asset of the
Trust. Subsequent investments in the Trust shall be credited to each
Shareholder's account in the form of full Shares at the Net Asset Value per
Share next determined after the investment is received; provided, however,
that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, (a) impose a sales charge
upon investments in the Trust and (b) issue fractional Shares.
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF SERIES
Section 5. All consideration received by the Trust for the issue or sale
of Shares of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such
consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or
liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any
reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall be
referred to as "assets belonging to" that Series. In addition any assets,
income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, funds, or payments which
are not readily identifiable as belonging to any particular Series, shall
be allocated by the Trustees between and among one or more of the Series in
such manner as they, in their sole discretion, deem fair and equitable.
Each such allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders
of all Series for all purposes, and shall be referred to as assets
belonging to that Series. The assets belonging to a particular Series shall
be so recorded upon the books of the Trust, and shall be held by the
Trustees in Trust for the benefit of the holders of Shares of that Series.
The assets belonging to each particular Series shall be charged with the
liabilities of that Series and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves
attributable to that Series. Any general liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as
belonging to any particular Series shall be allocated and charged by the
Trustees between or among any one or more of the Series in such manner as
the Trustees in their sole discretion deem fair and equitable. Each such
allocation shall be conclusive and binding upon the Shareholders of all
Series for all purposes. Any creditor of any Series may look only to the
assets of that Series to satisfy such creditor's debt.
NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 6. Shareholders shall have no preemptive or other right to
subscribe to any additional Shares or other securities issued by the Trust
or the Trustees.
LIMITATION OF PERSONAL LIABILITY
Section 7. The Trustees shall have no power to bind any Shareholder
personally or to call upon Any shareholder for the payment of any sum of
money or assessment whatsoever other than such as the Shareholder may at
any time personally agree to pay by way of subscription for any Shares or
otherwise. Every note, bond, contract or other undertaking issued by or on
behalf of the Trust or the Trustees relating to the Trust shall include a
recitation limiting the obligation represented thereby to the Trust and its
assets (but the omission of such a recitation shall not operate to bind any
Shareholder).

vacancy shall, by reason of an increase in number, or for any other reason,
exist, the remaining Trustees shall fill such vacancy by appointing such
other person as they in their discretion shall see fit consistent with the
limitations under the 1940 Act. Such appointment shall be evidenced by a
written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees in office or by
recording in the records of the Trust, whereupon the appointment shall take

office in anticipation of a vacancy to occur by reason of retirement,

the provisions of Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act.

Massachusetts or, if not a domiciliary of Massachusetts, is absent from his
state of domicile, or is physically or mentally incapacitated by reason of

any assets now or hereafter held in any capacity other than as Trustee
hereunder by the Trustees or any successor Trustees. All of the assets of
the Trust shall at all times be considered as vested in the Trustees. No

each Shareholder shall have a proportionate undivided beneficial interest
in the Trust.

shareholder is entitled to vote and each fractional dollar amount shall be
entitled to a proportionate fractional vote). There shall be no cumulative
voting in the election of Trustees. Shares may be voted in person or by

opportunity of furnishing materials to the other Shareholders with a view
to obtaining signatures on such a request for a meeting, the Trustees shall

shall be a quorum for the transaction of business at a Shareholders'
meeting, except that where any provision of law or of this Declaration of
Trust permits or requires that holders of any Series shall vote as a Series
then a majority of the aggregate number of Shares of that Series entitled
to vote shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business by that Series. Any lesser number shall be sufficient for
adjournments. Any adjourned session or sessions may be held, within a
reasonable time after the date set for the original meeting, without the
necessity of further notice. Except when a larger vote is required by any

Shares voted in person or by proxy shall decide any questions and a
plurality shall elect a Trustee, provided that where any provision of law
or of this Declaration of Trust permits or requires that the holders of any

or such other form of request as the Trustees may from time to time
authorize, requesting that the Series purchase the Shares in accordance
with this Section 2; and the Shareholder so requesting shall be entitled to
require the Series to purchase, and the Series or the principal underwriter

request is effective.
DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
AND VALUATION OF PORTFOLIO ASSETS
Section 3. The term "Net Asset Value" of any Series shall mean that amount
by which the assets of that Series, exceed its liabilities, all as
determined by or under the direction of the Trustees. Such value per Share
shall be determined separately for each Series of Shares and shall be
determined on such days and at such times as the Trustees may determine.
Such determination shall be made with respect to securities for which
market quotations are readily available, at the market value of such
securities; and with respect to other securities and assets, at the fair
value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, provided, however, that
the Trustees, without Shareholder approval, may alter the method of
appraising portfolio securities insofar as permitted under the 1940 Act and
the rules, regulations and interpretations thereof promulgated or issued by
the Commission or insofar as permitted by any Order of the Commission
applicable to the Series. The Trustees may delegate any of its powers and
duties under this Section 3 with respect to appraisal of assets and
liabilities. At any time the Trustees may cause the value par Share last

redemption or postpone the date of payment as permitted under the 1940 Act.
Such suspension shall take effect at such time as the Trustees shall
specify but not later than the close of business on the business day next
following the declaration of suspension, and thereafter there shall be no
right of redemption or payment until the Trustees shall declare the
suspension at an end. In the case of a suspension of the right of
redemption, a Shareholder may either withdraw his request for redemption or
receive payment based on the Net Asset Value per Share existing after the
termination of the suspension.

for neglect or wrongdoing of them or any officer, agent, employee or
investment adviser of the Trust, but nothing contained herein shall protect
any Trustee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
INDEMNIFICATION
Section 2.
(a) Subject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section (b)
below:
(i) every person who is, or has been, a Trustee or officer of the Trust
(hereinafter referred to as "Covered Person") shall be indemnified by the
appropriate Series to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability
and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him in connection
with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he becomes involved as
a party or otherwise by virtue of his being or having been a Trustee or
officer and against amounts paid or incurred by him in the settlement
thereof;
(ii) the words "claim," "action," "suit," or "proceeding" shall apply to
all claims, actions, suits or proceedings (civil, criminal or other,
including appeals), actual or threatened while in office or thereafter, and
the words "liability" and "expenses" shall include, without limitation,
attorneys' fees, costs, judgments, amounts paid in settlement, fines,
penalties and other liabilities.
(b) No indemnification shall be provided hereunder to a Covered Person:
(i) who shall have been adjudicated by a court or body before which the
proceeding was brought (A) to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office or (B) not to
have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his action was in
the best interest of the Trust; or
(ii) in the event of a settlement, unless there has been a determination
that such Trustee or officer did not engage in willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of his office,
(A) by the court or other body approving the settlement;
(B) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither interested
persons of the Trust nor are parties to the matter based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or
(C) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of
readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry);
provided, however, that any Shareholder may, by appropriate legal
proceedings, challenge any such determination by the Trustees, or by
independent counsel.
(c) The rights of indemnification herein provided may be insured against
by policies maintained by the Trust, shall be severable, shall not be
exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any Covered Person may now
or hereafter be entitled, shall continue as to a person who has ceased to
be such Trustee or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person. Nothing contained herein
shall affect any rights to indemnification to which Trust personnel, other
than Trustees and officers, and other persons may be entitled by contract
or otherwise under law.
(d) Expenses in connection with the preparation and presentation of a
defense to any claim, action, suit or proceeding of the character described
in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 may be paid by the applicable Series
from time to time prior to final disposition thereof upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person that such amount will be
paid over by him to the applicable Series if it is ultimately determined
that he is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 2; provided,
however, that either (a) such Covered Person shall have provided
appropriate security for such undertaking, (b) the Trust is insured against
losses arising out of any such advance payments or (c) either a majority of
the Trustees who are neither interested persons of the Trust nor parties to
the matter, or independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall have
determined, based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a
trial-type inquiry or full investigation), that there is reason to believe
that such Covered Person will be found entitled to indemnification under
this Section 2.
SHAREHOLDERS
Section 3. In case any Shareholder or former Shareholder of any Series of
the Trust shall be held to be personally liable solely by reason of his
being or having been a Shareholder and not because of his acts or omissions
or for some other reason, the Shareholder or former Shareholder (or his
heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives or in the
case of a corporation or other entity, its corporate or other general
successor) shall be entitled out of the assets belonging to the applicable
Series to be held harmless from and indemnified against all loss and
expense arising from such liability. The Series shall, upon request by the
Shareholder, assume the defense of any claim made against the Shareholder
for any act or obligation of the Series and satisfy any judgment thereon.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
TRUST NOT A PARTNERSHIP
Section 1. It is hereby expressly declared that a trust and not a
partnership is created hereby. No Trustee hereunder shall have any power to
bind personally either the Trust's officers or any Shareholder. All persons
extending credit to, contracting with or having any claim against the Trust
or the Trustees shall look only to the assets of the appropriate Series for
payment under such credit, contract or claim; and neither the Shareholders
nor the Trustees, nor any of their agents, whether past, present or future,
shall be personally liable therefor. Nothing in this Declaration of Trust
shall protect a Trustee against any liability to which the Trustee would
otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
the office of Trustee hereunder.
TRUSTEE'S GOOD FAITH ACTION, EXPERT ADVICE, NO BOND OR SURETY
Section 2. The exercise by the Trustees of their powers and discretions
hereunder in good faith and with reasonable care under the circumstances
then prevailing, shall be binding upon everyone interested. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1 of this Article XII and to Article XI, the Trustees
shall not be liable for errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law. The
Trustees may take advice of counsel or other experts with respect to the
meaning and operation of this Declaration of Trust, and subject to the
provisions of Section 1 of this Article XII and to Article XI, shall be
under no liability for any act or omission in accordance with such advice
or for failing to follow such advice. The Trustees shall not be required to
give any bond as such, nor any surety if a bond is obtained.
ESTABLISHMENT OF RECORD DATES
Section 3. The Trustees may close the stock transfer books of the Trust
for a period not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any
meeting of Shareholders, or the date for the payment of any dividends, or
the date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or
conversion or exchange of Shares shall go into effect; or in lieu of
closing the stock transfer books as aforesaid, the Trustees may fix in
advance a date, not exceeding sixty (60) days preceding the date of any
meeting of Shareholders, or the date for payment of any dividend, or the
date for the allotment of rights, or the date when any change or conversion
or exchange of Shares shall go into effect, as a record date for the
determination of the Shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at,
any such meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any such dividend, or
to any such allotment of rights, or to exercise the rights in respect of
any such change, conversion or exchange of Shares, and in such case such
Shareholders and only such Shareholders as shall be Shareholders of record
on the date so fixed shall be entitled to such notice of, and to vote at,
such meeting, or to receive payment of such dividend, or to receive such
allotment or rights, or to exercise such rights, as the case may be,
notwithstanding any transfer of any Shares on the books of the Trust after
any such record date fixed or aforesaid.
TERMINATION OF TRUST
Section 4.
(a) This Trust shall continue without limitation of time but subject to
the provisions of sub-section (b) of this Section 4.
(b) Subject to a Majority Shareholder Vote of each Series affected by the
matter or, if applicable, to a Majority Shareholder Vote of the Trust, the
Trustees may
(i) sell and convey the assets of the Trust or any affected Series to
another trust, partnership, association or corporation organized under the
laws of any state which is a diversified open-end management investment
company as defined in the 1940 Act, for adequate consideration which may
include the assumption of all outstanding obligations, taxes and other
liabilities, accrued or contingent, of the Trust or any affected Series,
and which may include shares of beneficial interest or stock of such trust,
partnership, association or corporation; or
(ii) at any time sell and convert into money all of the assets of the
Trust or any affected Series.
Upon making provision for the payment of all such liabilities in either
(i) or (ii), by such assumption or otherwise, the Trustees shall distribute
the remaining proceeds or assets (as the case may be) ratably among the
holders of the Shares of the Trust or any affected Series then outstanding.
(c) Upon completion of the distribution of the remaining proceeds or the
remaining assets as provided in sub-section (b), the Trust or any affected
Series shall terminate and the Trustees shall be discharged of any and all
further liabilities and duties hereunder and the right, title and interest
of all parties shall be cancelled and discharged.
FILING OF COPIES, REFERENCES, AND HEADINGS
Section 5. The original or a copy of this instrument and of each
declaration of trust supplemental hereto shall be kept at the office of the
Trust where it may be inspected by any Shareholder. A copy of this
instrument and of each supplemental declaration of trust shall be filed by
the Trustees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and
the Boston City Clerk, as well as any other governmental office where such
filing may from time to time be required. Anyone dealing with the Trust may
rely on a certificate by an officer or Trustee of the Trust as to whether
or not any such supplemental declarations of trust have been made and as to
any matters in connection with the Trust hereunder, and with the same
effect as if it were the original, may rely on a copy certified by an
officer or Trustee of the Trust to be a copy of this instrument or of any
such supplemental declaration of trust. In this instrument or in any such
supplemental declaration of trust, references to this instrument and all
expressions like "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder," shall be deemed to
refer to this instrument as amended or affected by any such supplemental
declaration of trust. Headings are placed herein for convenience of
reference only and in case of any conflict, the text of this instrument,
rather than the headings, shall control. This instrument may be executed in
any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original.
APPLICABLE LAW
Section 6. The trust set forth in this instrument is made in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and it is created under and is to be
governed by and construed and administered according to the laws of said
Commonwealth. The Trust shall be of the type commonly called a
Massachusetts business trust, and without limiting the provisions hereof,
the Trust may exercise all powers which are ordinarily exercised by such a
trust.
AMENDMENTS
Section 7. If authorized by votes of the Trustees and a Majority
Shareholder Vote, or by any larger vote which may be required by applicable
law or this Declaration of Trust in any particular case, the Trustees shall
amend or otherwise supplement this instrument, by making a declaration of
trust supplemental hereto, which thereafter shall form a part hereof,
except that an amendment which shall affect the Shareholders of one or more
Series but not the Shareholders of all outstanding Series shall be
authorized by vote of the Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares
entitled to vote of each Series affected and no vote of Shareholders of a
Series not affected shall be required. Amendments having the purpose of
changing the name of the Trust or of supplying any omission, curing any
ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or
inconsistent provision contained herein shall not require authorization by
Shareholder vote. Copies of the supplemental declaration of trust shall be
filed as specified in Section 5 of this Article XII.
FISCAL YEAR
Section 8. The fiscal year of the Trust shall end on a specified date as
set forth in the Bylaws, if any, provided, however, that the Trustees may,
without Shareholder approval, change the fiscal year of the Trust.
USE OF THE WORD "FIDELITY"
Section 9. Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") has
consented to the use by any Series of the Trust of the identifying word
"Fidelity" in the name of any Series of the Trust at some future date. Such
consent is conditioned upon the employment of FMR as investment adviser of
each Series of the Trust. As between the Trust and itself, FMR controls the
use of the name of the Trust insofar as such name contains the identifying
word "Fidelity." FMR may from time to time use the identifying word
"Fidelity" in other connections and for other purposes, including, without
limitation, in the names of other investment companies, corporations or
businesses which it may manage, advise, sponsor or own or in which it may
have a financial interest. FMR may require the Trust or any Series thereof
to cease using the identifying word "Fidelity" in the name of the Trust or
any Series thereof if the Trust or any Series thereof ceases to employ FMR
or a subsidiary or affiliate thereof as investment adviser.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being all of the Trustees of the
Trust, have executed this instrument this 14th day of April, 1994.

Exhibit 5(a)(1)
MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
between
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS:
AIR TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO
and
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
MODIFICATION made this 1st day of March 1994, by and between Fidelity
Select Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or
more series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the
"Fund"), on behalf of Air Transportation Portfolio (hereinafter called the
"Portfolio"), and Fidelity Management & Research Company, a
Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter called the "Adviser").
Required authorization and approval by shareholders and Trustees having
been obtained, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser hereby
consent, pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the existing Management Contract dated
January 1, 1990, to a modification of said Contract in the manner set forth
below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
$0 - 3 billion .5200%
3 - 6 .4900
6 - 9 .4600
9 -12 .4300
12-15 .4000
15 -18 .3850
18-21 .3700
21 -24 .3600
24 -30 .3500
30 -36 .3450
36 -42 .3400
42 -48 .3350
48 -66 .3250
66 -84 .3200
84-102 .3150
102-138 .3100
138-174 .3050
174-228 .3000
228-282 .2950
282-336 .2900
Over 336 .2850
(b) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be .30%.
The sum of the Group Fee Rate, calculated as described above to the
nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal
and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under
state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio;
(viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's
shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata
share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts
with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other
coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi)
expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing
and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities,"
"assignment," and "interested persons," when used herein, shall have the
respective meanings specified in the 1940 Act, as now in effect or as
hereafter amended, and subject to such orders as may be granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF the parties have caused this instrument to be signed in
their behalf by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, and
their respective seals to be hereunto affixed, all as of the date written
above.

Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
$0 - 3 billion .5200%
3 - 6 .4900
6 - 9 .4600
9 -12 .4300
12-15 .4000
15 -18 .3850
18-21 .3700
21 -24 .3600

138-174 .3050
174-228 .3000
228-282 .2950

Over 336 .2850
(b) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be .30%.
The sum of the Group Fee Rate, calculated as described above to the
nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal

relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.

the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the
choice of laws provisions thereof.

below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations

shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having

business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994

securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and

authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the

services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting

designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.

and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,

shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in

relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract

notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of

Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.

portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having

business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee

the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations

the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract

(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)

relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the

and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the

services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting

selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated

other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.

Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.

and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having

business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of

any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and

below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations

connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

The sum of the Group Fee Rate, calculated as described above to the
nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment

non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.
8. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the

exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and

part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract

(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are

28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who

commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were

for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations

below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)

relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until July 31, 1994

securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of

services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting

28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who

portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were

otherwise.

and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a

average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having

business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.

securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may

outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of

Required authorization and approval by shareholders and Trustees having
been obtained, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser hereby
consent, pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the existing Management Contract dated
January 1, 1990, to a modification of said Contract in the manner set forth
below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee and an Individual Fund Fee.
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined

nearest millionth, and the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall constitute the
Annual Management Fee Rate. One-twelfth of the Annual Management Fee Rate
shall be applied to the average of the net assets of the Portfolio
(computed in the manner set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document) determined as of the close of business on
each business day throughout the month.
(c) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.

Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of

Required authorization and approval by shareholders and Trustees having
been obtained, the Fund, on behalf of the Portfolio, and the Adviser hereby
consent, pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the existing Management Contract dated

below. The Modified Management Contract shall when executed by duly
authorized officers of the Fund and the Adviser, take effect on the later
of March 1, 1994 or the first day of the month following approval.
1. (a) Investment Advisory Services. The Adviser undertakes to act as
investment adviser of the Portfolio and shall, subject to the supervision
of the Fund's Board of Trustees, direct the investments of the Portfolio in
accordance with the investment objective, policies and limitations as
provided in the Portfolio's Prospectus or other governing instruments, as
amended from time to time, the Investment Company Act of 1940 and rules
thereunder, as amended from time to time (the "1940 Act"), and such other
limitations as the Portfolio may impose by notice in writing to the
Adviser. The Adviser shall also furnish for the use of the Portfolio
office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel
for servicing the investments of the Portfolio; and shall pay the salaries
and fees of all officers of the Fund, of all Trustees of the Fund who are
"interested persons" of the Fund or of the Adviser and of all personnel of
the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research,
statistical and investment activities. The Adviser is authorized, in its
discretion and without prior consultation with the Portfolio, to buy, sell,
lend and otherwise trade in any stocks, bonds and other securities and
investment instruments on behalf of the Portfolio. The investment policies
and all other actions of the Portfolio are and shall at all times be
subject to the control and direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees.
(b) Management Services. The Adviser shall perform (or arrange for the
performance by its affiliates of) the management and administrative
services necessary for the operation of the Fund. The Adviser shall,
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, perform various
services for the Portfolio, including but not limited to: (i) providing the
Portfolio with office space, equipment and facilities (which may be its
own) for maintaining its organization; (ii) on behalf of the Portfolio,
supervising relations with, and monitoring the performance of, custodians,
depositories, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, attorneys,
underwriters, brokers and dealers, insurers and other persons in any
capacity deemed to be necessary or desirable; (iii) preparing all general
shareholder communications, including shareholder reports; (iv) conducting
shareholder relations; (v) maintaining the Fund's existence and its
records; (vi) during such times as shares are publicly offered, maintaining
the registration and qualification of the Portfolio's shares under federal
and state law; and (vii) investigating the development of and developing
and implementing, if appropriate, management and shareholder services
designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Portfolio as an
investment vehicle.
The Adviser shall also furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Fund as the Fund's Board of Trustees may request from time
to time or as the Adviser may deem to be desirable. The Adviser shall make
recommendations to the Fund's Board of Trustees with respect to Fund
policies, and shall carry out such policies as are adopted by the Trustees.
The Adviser shall, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, furnish such
other services as the Adviser shall from time to time determine to be
necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Contract.
(c) The Adviser shall place all orders for the purchase and sale of
portfolio securities for the Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers
selected by the Adviser, which may include brokers or dealers affiliated
with the Adviser. The Adviser shall use its best efforts to seek to
execute portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the
Portfolio and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the
benefits received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) to the Portfolio and/or the
other accounts over which the Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment
discretion. The Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who
provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a
portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of the amount of
commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that
transaction if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of
commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination
may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall
responsibilities which the Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to
accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Fund shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio to
determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time were
reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
The Adviser shall, in acting hereunder, be an independent contractor. The
Adviser shall not be an agent of the Portfolio.
2. It is understood that the Trustees, officers and shareholders of the
Fund are or may be or become interested in the Adviser as directors,
officers or otherwise and that directors, officers and stockholders of the
Adviser are or may be or become similarly interested in the Fund, and that
the Adviser may be or become interested in the Fund as a shareholder or
otherwise.
3. The Adviser will be compensated on the following basis for the services
and facilities to be furnished hereunder. The Adviser shall receive a
monthly management fee, payable monthly as soon as practicable after the
last day of each month, composed of a Group Fee , an Individual Fund Fee,
and an Income Component .
(a) Group Fee Rate. The Group Fee Rate shall be based upon the monthly
average of the net assets of the registered investment companies having
Advisory and Service or Management Contracts with the Adviser (computed in
the manner set forth in the fund's Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document) determined as of the close of business on each
business day throughout the month. The Group Fee Rate shall be determined
on a cumulative basis pursuant to the following schedule:
Average Net Assets Annualized Fee Rate (for each level)
$0 - 3 billion .3700%
3 - 6 .3400
6 - 9 .3100
9 - 12 .2800
12 - 15 .2500
15 - 18 .2200
18 - 21 .2000
21 - 24 .1900
24 - 30 .1800
30 - 36 .1750
36 - 42 .1700
42 - 48 .1650
48 - 66 .1600
66 - 84 .1550
84-120 .1500
120-174 .1450
174-228 .1400
228-282 .1375
282-336 .1350
Over 336 .1325
(b) Individual Fund Fee Rate. The Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be .03%.
One-twelfth of the Group Fee Rate (calculated as described above to the
nearest millionth) and of the Individual Fund Fee Rate shall be applied to
the average net assets of the Portfolio (computed in the manner set forth
in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or other organizational document)
determined as of the close of business on each business day throughout the
month to determine the Group Fee and the Individual Fee for such month.
(c) The Income Component. The Adviser shall receive a monthly payment
computed on the basis of the Portfolio's gross income. With respect to
that amount of the Portfolio's monthly gross income which is in excess of
that amount which is equivalent to an annualized yield of 5%, the Adviser
shall receive 6% of the amount of such excess. Gross income, for this
purpose, includes interest accrued and/or discount earned (including both
original issue discount and market discount) on portfolio obligations, less
amortization of premium on portfolio obligations computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting practices. Annualized yield shall be
determined by dividing the Portfolio's gross income for the month by
average daily net assets of the Portfolio for the month and dividing the
result by the number of days in the month over 365 days.
(Gross Income for the Month) (divided by) (Days
in the Month)
(Average Daily Net Assets for the Month) (365 Days)
Notwithstanding the foregoing , in no event shall the Adviser be entitled
to receive an income component for any month that is in excess of an amount
equal to 0.24% of the Portfolio's average net assets for such month.
(d) In case of termination of this Contract during any month, the fee
for that month shall be reduced proportionately on the basis of the number
of business days during which it is in effect, and the fee computed upon
the average net assets for the business days it is so in effect for that
month.
4. It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all its expenses other
than those expressly stated to be payable by the Adviser hereunder, which
expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without limitation, (i)
interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other costs in
connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other investment
instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Fund's Trustees other than
those who are "interested persons" of the Fund or the Adviser; (iv) legal
and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and transfer agent fees and
expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the registration and
qualification of the Fund and the Portfolio's shares for distribution under
state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of printing and mailing
reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders of the Portfolio;
(viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings of the Portfolio's
shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefor; (ix) a pro rata
share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and other registered
investment companies having Advisory and Service or Management Contracts
with the Adviser, of 50% of insurance premiums for fidelity and other
coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association membership dues; (xi)
expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and Statements of
Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii) expenses of printing
and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information and
supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and (xiii) such
non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including those
relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a party
and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify the
Fund's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
5. The services of the Adviser to the Portfolio are not to be deemed
exclusive, the Adviser being free to render services to others and engage
in other activities, provided, however, that such other services and
activities do not, during the term of this Contract, interfere, in a
material manner, with the Adviser's ability to meet all of its obligations
with respect to rendering services to the Portfolio hereunder. In the
absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Adviser,
the Adviser shall not be subject to liability to the Portfolio or to any
shareholder of the Portfolio for any act or omission in the course of, or
connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be
sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security.
6. (a) Subject to prior termination as provided in sub-paragraph (d) of
this paragraph 6, this Contract shall continue in force until May 31, 1994
and indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
date shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Contract may be modified by mutual consent, such consent on the
part of the Fund to be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 6, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Contract
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Fund who are not parties to the Contract or interested persons of any such
party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval.
(d) Either party hereto may, at any time on sixty (60) days' prior written
notice to the other, terminate this Contract, without payment of any
penalty, by action of its Trustees or Board of Directors, as the case may
be, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio. This Contract shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
7. The Adviser is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
shareholder liability as set forth in the Fund's Declaration of Trust or
other organizational document and agrees that the obligations assumed by
the Fund pursuant to this Contract shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Adviser shall not seek satisfaction of
any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio or any other Portfolios of the Fund. In addition, the Adviser
shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligations from the Trustees or
any individual Trustee. The Adviser understands that the rights and
obligations of any Portfolio under the Declaration of Trust or other
organizational document are separate and distinct from those of any and all
other Portfolios.

AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF AIR TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Air
Transportation Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor

registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for

of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)

Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:

paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such

notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in

contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF BIOTECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Biotechnology Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph

laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to

the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other

of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF
BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Brokerage and Investment Management Portfolio (hereinafter called the
"Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF CHEMICALS PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Chemicals Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the

such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such

Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.

principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far

WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of

referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate

to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee

registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,

or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio

holding or sale of any security.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the

any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to

Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other

of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF CONSUMER PRODUCTS PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Consumer Products Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the

obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.

in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF DEFENSE AND AEROSPACE PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Defense and Aerospace Portfolio (hereinafter called the
"Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"

AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF ENERGY PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Energy
Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)

to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the

reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that

of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;

or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,

Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the

Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio

services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF ENERGY SERVICE PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of Energy
Service Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Environmental Services Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the

the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or

2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor

which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor

BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF HEALTH CARE PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Health Care Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF HOME FINANCE PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Home Finance Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF LEISURE PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Leisure Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction

obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF MEDICAL DELIVERY PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Medical Delivery Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"

AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF PAPER AND FOREST PRODUCTS
PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Paper and Forest Products Portfolio (hereinafter called the
"Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (FAR EAST) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF
PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1ST day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Precious Metals and Minerals Portfolio (hereinafter called the
"Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); Fidelity Management & Research (Far
East) Inc. (hereinafter called the "Sub-Advisor"); and Fidelity Select
Portfolios, a Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more
series of shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on
behalf of Regional Banks Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money, or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the

such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"

services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers and
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the

on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.

AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF TECHNOLOGY PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Technology Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding

Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on

(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Telecommunications Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this
paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940

SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH COMPANY
AND
FIDELITY MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH (U.K.) INC.
AND
FIDELITY SELECT PORTFOLIOS: ON BEHALF OF TRANSPORTATION PORTFOLIO
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of March, 1994, by and between Fidelity
Management & Research Company, a Massachusetts corporation with
principal offices at 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts
(hereinafter called the "Advisor"); and Fidelity Select Portfolios, a
Massachusetts business trust which may issue one or more series of shares
of beneficial interest (hereinafter called the "Trust") on behalf of
Transportation Portfolio (hereinafter called the "Portfolio").
WHEREAS the Trust and the Advisor have entered into a Management Contract
on behalf of the Portfolio, pursuant to which the Advisor is to act as
investment manager of the Portfolio; and
WHEREAS the Sub-Advisor and its subsidiaries and other affiliated persons
have personnel in various locations throughout the world and have been
formed in part for the purpose of researching and compiling information and
recommendations with respect to the economies of various countries, and
securities of issuers located in such countries, and providing investment
advisory services in connection therewith;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
hereinafter set forth, the Trust, the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor agree as
follows:
1. Duties: The Advisor may, in its discretion, appoint the Sub-Advisor
to perform one or more of the following services with respect to all or a
portion of the investments of the Portfolio. The services and the portion
of the investments of the Portfolio to be advised or managed by the
Sub-Advisor shall be as agreed upon from time to time by the Advisor and
the Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall pay the salaries and fees of all
personnel of the Sub-Advisor performing services for the Portfolio relating
to research, statistical and investment activities.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVICE: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor shall provide investment advice to the Portfolio and the
Advisor with respect to all or a portion of the investments of the
Portfolio, and in connection with such advice shall furnish the Portfolio
and the Advisor such factual information, research reports and investment
recommendations as the Advisor may reasonably require. Such information
may include written and oral reports and analyses.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: If and to the extent requested by the Advisor,
the Sub-Advisor shall, subject to the supervision of the Advisor, manage
all or a portion of the investments of the Portfolio in accordance with the
investment objective, policies and limitations provided in the Portfolio's
Prospectus or other governing instruments, as amended from time to time,
the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and rules thereunder,
as amended from time to time, and such other limitations as the Trust or
Advisor may impose with respect to the Portfolio by notice to the
Sub-Advisor. With respect to the portion of the investments of the
Portfolio under its management, the Sub-Advisor is authorized to make
investment decisions on behalf of the Portfolio with regard to any stock,
bond, other security or investment instrument, and to place orders for the
purchase and sale of such securities through such broker-dealers as the
Sub-Advisor may select. The Sub-Advisor may also be authorized, but only
to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.

Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to

such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.

to the extent such duties are delegated in writing by the Advisor, to
provide additional investment management services to the Portfolio,
including but not limited to services such as managing foreign currency
investments, purchasing and selling or writing futures and options
contracts, borrowing money or lending securities on behalf of the
Portfolio. All investment management and any other activities of the
Sub-Advisor shall at all times be subject to the control and direction of
the Advisor and the Trust's Board of Trustees.
(c) SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES: The Sub-Advisor may perform any or all
of the services contemplated by this Agreement directly or through such of
its subsidiaries or other affiliated persons as the Sub-Advisor shall
determine; provided, however, that performance of such services through
such subsidiaries or other affiliated persons shall have been approved by
the Trust to the extent required pursuant to the 1940 Act and rules
thereunder.
2. Information to be Provided to the Trust and the Advisor: The
Sub-Advisor shall furnish such reports, evaluations, information or
analyses to the Trust and the Advisor as the Trust's Board of Trustees or
the Advisor may reasonably request from time to time, or as the Sub-Advisor
may deem to be desirable.
3. Brokerage: In connection with the services provided under
subparagraph (b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Sub-Advisor shall
place all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities for the
Portfolio's account with brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Advisor,
which may include brokers or dealers affiliated with the Advisor or
Sub-Advisor. The Sub-Advisor shall use its best efforts to seek to execute
portfolio transactions at prices which are advantageous to the Portfolio
and at commission rates which are reasonable in relation to the benefits
received. In selecting brokers or dealers qualified to execute a
particular transaction, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide
brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section
28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of l934) to the Portfolio and/or to
the other accounts over which the Sub-Advisor or Advisor exercise
investment discretion. The Sub-Advisor is authorized to pay a broker or
dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for
executing a portfolio transaction for the Portfolio which is in excess of
the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for
effecting that transaction if the Sub-Advisor determines in good faith that
such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the
brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This
determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction
or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-Advisor has with respect to
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. The Trustees of
the Trust shall periodically review the commissions paid by the Portfolio
to determine if the commissions paid over representative periods of time
were reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio.
4. Compensation: The Advisor shall compensate the Sub-Advisor on the
following basis for the services to be furnished hereunder.
(a) INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE: For services provided under subparagraph (a)
of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the Sub-Advisor
a monthly Sub-Advisory Fee. The Sub-Advisory Fee shall be equal to 105% of
the Sub-Advisor's costs incurred in connection with rendering the services
referred to in subparagraph (a) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement. The
Sub-Advisory Fee shall not be reduced to reflect expense reimbursements or
fee waivers by the Advisor, if any, in effect from time to time.
(b) INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FEE: For services provided under subparagraph
(b) of paragraph 1 of this Agreement, the Advisor agrees to pay the
Sub-Advisor a monthly Investment Management Fee. The Investment Management
Fee shall be equal to: (i) 50% of the monthly management fee rate
(including performance adjustments, if any) that the Portfolio is obligated
to pay the Advisor under its Management Contract with the Advisor,
multiplied by: (ii) the fraction equal to the net assets of the Portfolio
as to which the Sub-Advisor shall have provided investment management
services divided by the net assets of the Portfolio for that month. If in
any fiscal year the aggregate expenses of the Portfolio exceed any
applicable expense limitation imposed by any state or federal securities
laws or regulations, and the Advisor waives all or a portion of its
management fee or reimburses the Portfolio for expenses to the extent
required to satisfy such limitation, the Investment Management Fee paid to
the Sub-Advisor will be reduced by 50% of the amount of such waivers or
reimbursements multiplied by the fraction determined in (ii). If the
Sub-Advisor reduces its fees to reflect such waivers or reimbursements and
the Advisor subsequently recovers all or any portion of such waivers or
reimbursements, then the Sub-Advisor shall be entitled to receive from the
Advisor a proportionate share of the amount recovered. To the extent that
waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor required by such limitations are
in excess of the Advisor's management fee, the Investment Management Fee
paid to the Sub-Advisor will be reduced to zero for that month, but in no
event shall the Sub-Advisor be required to reimburse the Advisor for all or
a portion of such excess reimbursements.
(c) PROVISION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES: If the Sub-Advisor shall have
provided both investment advisory services under subparagraph (a) and
investment management services under subparagraph (b) of paragraph (1) for
the same portion of the investments of the Portfolio for the same period,
the fees paid to the Sub-Advisor with respect to such investments shall be
calculated exclusively under subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 4.
5. Expenses: It is understood that the Portfolio will pay all of its
expenses other than those expressly stated to be payable by the Sub-Advisor
hereunder or by the Advisor under the Management Contract with the
Portfolio, which expenses payable by the Portfolio shall include, without
limitation, (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other
costs in connection with the purchase or sale of securities and other
investment instruments; (iii) fees and expenses of the Trust's Trustees
other than those who are "interested persons" of the Trust, the Sub-Advisor
or the Advisor; (iv) legal and audit expenses; (v) custodian, registrar and
transfer agent fees and expenses; (vi) fees and expenses related to the
registration and qualification of the Trust and the Portfolio's shares for
distribution under state and federal securities laws; (vii) expenses of
printing and mailing reports and notices and proxy material to shareholders
of the Portfolio; (viii) all other expenses incidental to holding meetings
of the Portfolio's shareholders, including proxy solicitations therefore;
(ix) a pro rata share, based on relative net assets of the Portfolio and
other registered investment companies having Advisory and Service or
Management Contracts with the Advisor, of 50% of insurance premiums for
fidelity and other coverage; (x) its proportionate share of association
membership dues; (xi) expenses of typesetting for printing Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and supplements thereto; (xii)
expenses of printing and mailing Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information and supplements thereto sent to existing shareholders; and
(xiii) such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses as may arise, including
those relating to actions, suits or proceedings to which the Portfolio is a
party and the legal obligation which the Portfolio may have to indemnify
the Trust's Trustees and officers with respect thereto.
6. Interested Persons: It is understood that Trustees, officers, and
shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in the Advisor
or the Sub-Advisor as directors, officers or otherwise and that directors,
officers and stockholders of the Advisor or the Sub-Advisor are or may be
or become similarly interested in the Trust, and that the Advisor or the
Sub-Advisor may be or become interested in the Trust as a shareholder or
otherwise.
7. Services to Other Companies or Accounts: The services of the
Sub-Advisor to the Advisor are not to be deemed to be exclusive, the
Sub-Advisor being free to render services to others and engage in other
activities, provided, however, that such other services and activities do
not, during the term of this Agreement, interfere, in a material manner,
with the Sub-Advisor's ability to meet all of its obligations hereunder.
The Sub-Advisor shall for all purposes be an independent contractor and not
an agent or employee of the Advisor or the Trust.
8. Standard of Care: In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder
on the part of the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall not be subject to
liability to the Advisor, the Trust or to any shareholder of the Portfolio
for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering
services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase,
holding or sale of any security.
9. Duration and Termination of Agreement; Amendments:
(a) Subject to prior termination as provided in subparagraph (d) of this
paragraph 9, this Agreement shall continue in force until July 31, 1994 and
indefinitely thereafter, but only so long as the continuance after such
period shall be specifically approved at least annually by vote of the
Trust's Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of the Portfolio.
(b) This Agreement may be modified by mutual consent of the Advisor, the
Sub-Advisor and the Portfolio, such consent on the part of the Portfolio to
be authorized by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
the Portfolio.

paragraph 9, the terms of any continuance or modification of this Agreement
must have been approved by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the
Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of any
such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval.
(d) Either the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor or the Portfolio may, at any time
on sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties, terminate
this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, by action of its Board of
Trustees or Directors, or with respect to the Portfolio by vote of a
majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement shall
terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
10. Limitation of Liability: The Sub-Advisor is hereby expressly put on
notice of the limitation of shareholder liability as set forth in the
Declaration of Trust or other organizational document of the Trust and
agrees that any obligations of the Trust or the Portfolio arising in
connection with this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to the
Portfolio and its assets, and the Sub-Advisor shall not seek satisfaction
of any such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the
Portfolio. Nor shall the Sub-Advisor seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the Trustees or any individual Trustee.
11. Governing Law: This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without
giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
The terms "registered investment company," "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities," "assignment," and "interested persons,"
when used herein, shall have the respective meanings specified in the 1940
Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended.
