Each Portfolio, except Money Market, Investment Grade Bond, and Index
500, has two classes of shares. Throughout this report and the
financial statements, one class is referred to as the "Initial Class"
and the other class is referred to as the "Service Class." The Service
Class shares include an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and
the initial offering of "Service Class" shares took place November 3,
1997, at which time the 12b-1 fee was imposed. Please note, there are
two Performance and Investment Summary pages for each Portfolio that
offers "Initial Class" shares and the "Service Class" shares, and the
performance may be different.

Entering the final year of the 20th century, popular U.S. equity
market indexes had just posted an unprecedented four consecutive years
of double-digit annual returns, while domestic bonds also enjoyed
relatively strong increases. The international story entering 1999,
however, was less positive. In general - with the exception of
European issues - international equities and bonds were greatly
disappointing. Asian and Russian economies had fallen into disarray,
Japan was struggling to implement banking reforms, and emerging
markets were plagued by a host of currency devaluations, loan defaults
and dismal credit outlooks. So who would have thought, just one year
later, that Japan, Russia and emerging markets would be three of
1999's best-performing investments? U.S. equities also continued to
chug along in 1999, extending their indexes' streak of consecutive
double-digit annual increases to five. The stock market was not
without its problems, however. Extremely narrow market breadth,
soaring valuations and rising interest rates - not to mention Y2K -
left many investors unsettled about the prospects for equities
entering the new millennium. Domestic fixed-income alternatives,
meanwhile, fared poorly in 1999 relative to the year prior.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
In a word, technology was the primary driver of equity market
performance in 1999. While telecommunications, particularly the
wireless segment of the industry, also performed well, nothing
dominated like technology. This incredibly narrow market breadth was
illustrated by the technology-laden NASDAQ Index. Its return of 86.12%
for the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, was the all-time
highest annual return for any major U.S. stock index. Broader indexes,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500 SM, generated much lower returns,
but were still significantly affected by tech's presence. For example,
technology was responsible for approximately 70% of the S&P 500's
12-month return of 21.04%, the index's fifth consecutive annual gain
above 20%. The top 50 stocks in the S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty
50," many of which were technology shares - accounted for 115% of its
total return. Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks fell 3.13%. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - posted a
27.13% return during the period, its fifth consecutive double-digit
annual return. Despite the strong numbers of these indexes, more
stocks fell than rose in 1999. Growth stocks continued to hammer their
value-oriented peers. But in a turnaround from previous years, mid-
and small-cap growth stocks performed better than their large-cap
brethren did. Conversely, mid-and small-cap value issues posted
negative overall returns in 1999.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Similar to the domestic equity markets, technology and - perhaps to an
even greater degree than in the U.S. - telecommunications led the
charge in the vastly improved international equity markets. The
recovery of the Japanese stock market in 1999 was nothing short of
remarkable. A renewed emphasis on corporate restructuring and
shareholder value - combined with the Japanese government's
willingness to create more of a free-enterprise market system - proved
wildly successful. For the period, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Japan Index returned 61.53% and Japan's TOPIX Index was
up 75.89%. While Canadian equity markets didn't get nearly the
attention of their U.S. neighbors, their performance was a great deal
better than the broader American indexes, as the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) 300 returned 39.34% for the 12-month period ending
December 31, 1999. Despite a strong surge in December, European
markets offered mixed results over the past 12 months. In that time,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a
relatively tame - at least, in comparison to other developed nations'
stock markets - one-year return of 16.16%.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
Fueled by robust economic growth and a tighter monetary policy,
interest rates moved sharply higher, causing most domestic bonds to
struggle throughout the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a popular measure of
taxable-bond performance, fell 0.82% during the period. Treasury
prices had the toughest time of it, falling in response to three
quarter-point interest-rate hikes levied by the Federal Reserve Board,
which erased all of 1998's rate cuts. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Treasury Index plunged 8.74% in 1999. Nor were corporate bonds, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, immune from the
fixed-income fade during the year, falling 1.96%. Government agency
securities also fell into negative territory for the year, as the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index fell 0.94%. There were a few bright
spots, however. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.51% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index was
up 1.86%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Emerging markets stood as one of the best-performing asset classes in
1999. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the JP Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus was up 25.97%. A year ago, that same
index closed 1998 with a negative 14.35% annual return. A variety of
factors sparked their recovery, including rising commodity prices,
particularly oil; the continuation of a strong U.S. economy;
stable-to-lower interest rates; tame inflation; and greater political
stability. Russia was perhaps the year's biggest comeback story.
Devastated by its devaluation of the ruble and loan defaults in 1998,
Russia steadily demonstrated strong technical improvements that made
it the best-performing country in the index in 1999. Both Brazil and
Mexico enjoyed relatively low inflation and improved economies. Turkey
was the best-performing emerging-market country in December, as the
government's reform plans, IMF financial support, and the announcement
that it would be accepted in the European Union all boosted the
country's prospects. Elsewhere, outside of positive performing
Canadian and Japanese issues - beneficiaries of strong local
currencies - higher rates proved insurmountable for most non-U.S.
developed markets, which produced negative returns in local currency
terms. A markedly weak euro, coupled with firming supply pressures,
felled bond prices in Germany, France and Italy. The Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index fell 5.07% in 1999.
FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

MSCI EAFE 27.22% 12.98% 7.08%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE)
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to
represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the
United States and Canada. As of December 31, 1999, the index included
over 1,000 equity securities of companies domiciled in 21 countries.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Many markets around the globe offer the
potential for significant growth over time;
however, investing in foreign markets means
assuming greater risks than investing in the
United States. Factors like changes in a country's
financial markets, its local political and
economic climate, and the fluctuating value of
its currency create these risks. For these reasons
an international fund's performance may be
more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively
in the United States.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. Foreign investments involve greater risks and
potential rewards than U.S. investments. These risks include political
and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk
of currency fluctuations.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio
on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $29,510 - a 195.10%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $19,825 - a 98.25% increase.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE)
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to
represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the
United States and Canada. As of December 31, 1999, the index included
over 1,000 equity securities of companies domiciled in 21 countries.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Many markets around the globe offer the
potential for significant growth over time;
however, investing in foreign markets means
assuming greater risks than investing in the
United States. Factors like changes in a country's
financial markets, its local political and
economic climate, and the fluctuating value of
its currency create these risks. For these reasons
an international fund's performance may be
more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively
in the United States.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. Foreign investments involve greater risks and
potential rewards than U.S. investments. These risks include political
and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk
of currency fluctuations.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio -
Service Class on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December
31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $29,457 - a
194.57% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $19,825 - a 98.25%
increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(Photograph of Richard Mace)
An interview with
Richard Mace,
Portfolio Manager of Overseas Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, RICK?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund easily
outpaced the 27.22% return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S STRONG SHOWING?
A. Most of the fund's outperformance can be traced to a relatively
strong commitment to the high-performing Japanese market, as well as
from good individual stock picking within that market. The fund also
benefited from the solid performance of several of its energy-related
positions.
Q. WHAT TRIGGERED THE JAPANESE MARKET'S REBOUND AND HOW DID THE FUND
TAKE ADVANTAGE?
A. The Japanese market became somewhat more "Americanized" over the
past year. The government has allowed some barriers to come down to
create more of a free-enterprise market system, and Japanese
corporations - following in the footsteps of their U.S. counterparts -
have begun to implement share buyback programs, cut unprofitable
businesses and consider effective restructuring programs. Japanese
investors, in fact, can now buy mutual funds. All of this has
translated into a more confident market and economy, and the fund took
advantage. Several of the fund's Japanese telephone utilities
positions fared well, particularly DDI Corp., which was among the
fund's top holdings through the second half of the period. Japanese
non-bank financial positions also performed well, including
brokerage-related holdings such as Daiwa Securities and Nikko
Securities.
Q. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THE ENERGY POSITIONS YOU MENTIONED?
A. Sure. The fund's best performers in this group were the two large
French exploration firms, Elf Aquitaine and Total. Both stocks suited
my philosophy that it's better to look for energy stocks with good
long-term characteristics than focus on trying to guess the direction
of oil prices. In particular, I was attracted to Elf's growing oil
reserve base, which should kick into production growth in 2001. Total
intrigued me because of its rapid 10% production growth rate. I looked
at both stocks as a package: One had current production growth, while
the other looked promising long-term. In addition, both companies
engaged in a spirited takeover battle during the period, with each
making takeover bids for the other. Eventually, the issue was resolved
and a merger was approved. Overall, I think the merger - which makes
Total the fourth-largest oil company in the world - should be
beneficial to both companies. Elf Aquitaine is no longer a publicly
traded stock.
Q. THE FUND ALSO RECEIVED GOOD RESULTS FROM SEVERAL OF ITS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS-RELATED STOCKS, MOST NOTABLY FINLAND'S NOKIA,
SWEDEN'S ERICSSON AND THE U.K.'S VODAFONE AIRTOUCH . . .
A. These companies were beneficiaries of the worldwide wireless
communications boom. Nokia and Ericsson - both longstanding positions
in the fund - showed strong management execution during the period
and generated good financial returns in the process. Vodafone
AirTouch, meanwhile, benefited from its strong presence in the
burgeoning U.K. market as well as from its announcement that it would
merge its mobile communications business with U.S.-based Bell
Atlantic. The Vodafone-Bell Atlantic partnership is but another
example of the cross-border alliances that have fueled telecom
business around the globe.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WOULD YOU CLASSIFY AS DISAPPOINTING?
A. Rentokil - which provides a variety of industrial-related services
for corporations - detracted significantly from performance due to a
strong British pound. A slump in sales growth, particularly in Asia,
also hurt. European consumer-related stocks - such as Swiss foods
company Nestle and Anglo-Dutch household products company Unilever -
suffered from sluggish global demand. The fund's Italian positions
also proved to be a weak link. Telecom Italia Mobile struggled, as did
bank stocks Banca di Roma and San Paolo-IMI, and insurer Generali SPA.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I expect to see more of the same in terms of increased
consolidation and cross-border mergers. The euro - the uniform
currency in Europe - has made it much easier to complete such
transactions. As big companies have become bigger, many smaller firms
have jumped into the fray just to keep pace. We may also see continued
restructuring efforts in Europe and Japan. As a result, there should
be greater differentiation of stocks away from the influences of their
local markets and more towards the earnings and underlying
fundamentals of the company itself.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the total returns would have been lower.

"INITIAL CLASS"
S&P MidCap 400 14.72% 20.81%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard
& Poor's MidCap 400 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
400 medium-capitalization stocks. 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, December 28, 1998.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(Photograph of David Felman)
An interview with
David Felman,
Portfolio Manager
of Mid Cap Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVID?
A. The fund had excellent performance, substantially exceeding that of
the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 Index, which had a total return of
14.72% for the 12 months ending December 31, 1999.
Q. WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED PERFORMANCE?
A. Sector and stock selection worked well, with consumer stocks
performing well early in the year and technology stocks surging late
in the period. Early in 1999, the fund took advantage of the strong
consumer economy by emphasizing the media and leisure industry,
including radio stations, advertisers and other consumer-related
stocks. As consumer spending surged and advertising budgets swelled,
these stocks rallied. Later in the period, however, I reduced this
sector's weightings as stocks began to hit their target prices. I also
was concerned about the effects that rising interest rates might have
on consumer-related stocks. I de-emphasized retailing stocks for the
same reason. While I moved away from consumer-related stocks, I added
to the fund's position in technology and in health care.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY IN TECHNOLOGY, WHERE THE FUND'S RELATIVE
WEIGHTING WENT FROM 16.8% TO 35.5% OF NET ASSETS IN THE FINAL SIX
MONTHS OF THE PERIOD?
A. I wanted to take advantage of the tremendous change taking place in
the worldwide economy that was driven by two trends - the growth in
wireless communications and in the Internet. Together, these two
trends created a tremendous driver for stock performance and I looked
for stocks of companies that could take advantage. However, stock
valuations were extremely high even for companies without significant
revenues or earnings, so I tried to be cautious about the stock prices
I paid. I invested in companies such as Nextel, Qualcomm, Comverse
Technology and Kopin Corp. that benefited from the strong demand for
wireless. I also invested in companies such as VERITAS Software and
Legato Systems that produce software for data-storage systems for
networks. Finally, I increased the weighting in semiconductor
companies providing equipment for networks.
Q. YOU ALSO INCREASED THE WEIGHTING IN HEALTH CARE, WHICH ROSE FROM
7.5% TO 13.3% OF NET ASSETS IN THE FINAL SIX MONTHS. WHAT WAS YOUR
STRATEGY IN THAT SECTOR?
A. I invested primarily in biotechnology companies that introduced a
number of very successful products. Health care also was relatively
attractive because it was not likely to be affected by rising interest
rates. Among the biotechnology companies in which I invested were IDEC
Pharmaceuticals and Cephalon Inc.
Q. WHAT INVESTMENTS HELPED PERFORMANCE, AND WHERE WERE YOU
DISAPPOINTED?
A. The radio station chains performed exceptionally well. Westwood
One, for example, successfully integrated its acquisition of the Metro
One chain. Many of the biggest winners were the Internet and wireless
communications companies. Exodus Communications, which designs and
operates Web sites for other companies, had very strong performance as
its business grew even faster than the Internet itself. Another strong
Internet-related stock was DoubleClick, an advertising company whose
business grew as Web commerce increased. Nextel Communications
benefited as wireless penetration in the United States grew. Some
individual holdings, such as Premier Parks, a chain of amusement
parks, didn't meet expectations. However, most of my disappointments
have less to do with what the fund owned than what the fund didn't
own. For instance, the fund didn't own enough of Xilinx, a
semiconductor company that we sold.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Technology is still a terrific story. It is changing the way we
live, work and play. At the same time, many of the stocks are trading
at extremely high valuations. I want to be in technology to take
advantage of the power of the long-term, fundamental trend, but I want
to be cautious about the weightings of individual investments. I also
want to be invested in the more liquid stocks, which can be traded
more easily and offer me the ability to trim positions when necessary.
I am careful to keep the fund diversified in other sectors and
prepared for the possibility that market trends could shift.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS

FIDELITY VIP: GROWTH - 37.44% 29.74% 19.94%
"INITIAL CLASS"
Russell 3000 Growth 33.83% 31.09% 19.70%
S&P 500 21.04% 28.56% 18.21%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Growth Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
growth-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations and the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. These benchmarks
reflect the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

of the investment would have grown to $61,594 - a 515.94% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 3000
Growth Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $60,360 - a 503.60% increase. Going forward, the fund will
compare its performance to that of the Russell 3000 Growth Index,
rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Russell 3000 Growth
Index more closely reflects the fund's investment strategy.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Growth Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of U.S.
domiciled growth-oriented stocks. You can also compare the fund's
returns to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. These benchmarks
reflect the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio -
Service Class on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December
31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $61,461 - a
514.61% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Russell 3000 Growth Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $60,360 - a 503.60% increase. Going
forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the Russell
3000 Growth Index, rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The
Russell 3000 Growth Index more closely reflects the fund's investment
strategy.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Jennifer Uhrig)
An interview with Jennifer Uhrig,
Portfolio Manager of Growth Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. The fund performed well for the 12 months that ended December 31,
1999, posting a higher return than the Russell 3000 Growth Index,
which returned 33.83% during the period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund benefited both from what it owned and what it didn't own.
If you weren't in technology stocks during the period, chances are
good that you didn't beat your benchmarks. Fortunately, the fund was
well-represented in this area, particularly among mid-
sized technology stocks in the semiconductor and storage subsectors.
Conversely, my decision to underweight consumer nondurables provided a
performance boost.
Q. IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY, CAN YOU PROVIDE A PLAY-BY-PLAY OF YOUR
INVESTING STRATEGY?
A. As we entered the period, my focus was on semiconductor-related
stocks. The economic recovery in Asia and continued strong demand in
the U.S. and Europe - especially in the communications area - led to a
very strong semiconductor market. Investments in KLA-Tencor, Teradyne
and ASM Lithography - companies that supply equipment for
semiconductor manufacturing - performed well. The fund no longer owned
KLA-Tencor nor Teradyne at the end of the period. In the second half
of the period, I began to emphasize other areas of technology,
including storage companies such as EMC, Veritas Software, Legato
Systems and Network Appliance. The amazing growth of the Internet
created huge demand for data storage, and these companies generated
terrific returns. When people think of technology, the big fish in the
pond - Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems - tend to come to mind. While
the fund had substantial positions in both Microsoft and Cisco at the
end of the period, I was underweighted in these larger names relative
to the index. In retrospect, it was the superior performance of the
fund's mid-cap technology stocks that made the tech sector a positive
overall contributor.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS OR GROUPS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND?
A. In keeping with the information age theme, the fund's exposure to
wireless communications stocks helped significantly. Investments in
Nokia and Texas Instruments - the latter of which makes a digital chip
that goes into most cellular phones - performed well. Competitive
local exchange carriers such as McLeod, Metromedia Fiber and Nextlink
also fared nicely, as did cable TV-related position MediaOne which
announced that it was being acquired by AT&T during the period.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WOULD YOU CATEGORIZE AS DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Philip Morris continued to be a drag on performance, as the ongoing
tobacco litigation gradually took its toll. Other disappointments
included drug stock Lilly - which suffered due to slower Prozac sales
- - and Avon, which had difficulty executing its business plan at the
same time as its business weakened in Latin America. I sold off the
fund's stake in Avon prior to the end of the period.
Q. DID THE FUND HAVE ANY EXPOSURE TO THE REVITALIZED JAPANESE MARKET?
A. It did. The fund's positions in Japanese brokerage houses such as
Daiwa Securities, Nikko Securities and Nomura Securities panned out
well, as did its stake in Softbank, a dominant Internet venture
capital firm. The rebound in Japan has been driven by a modest
recovery in the economy combined with increased restructuring efforts
on the part of old-line Japanese companies. Companies are becoming
more shareholder-oriented, cutting back on non-profitable businesses
and working hard to become more efficient. It's a glacial effort, but
at least it's underway. Additionally, demographics in Japan are
positive as more people enter their prime savings years. This could be
a big plus for the stock market.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The big question is how long the technology bubble can last. The
tech stocks that performed best during the period were overpriced by
historical measures, and it's very difficult to determine how long
this will continue. Against this backdrop, my goal is to participate
in technology where I can find relatively underappreciated ideas and
emphasize relative values. One final note on Japan: It's important to
remember that the market was very strong during the period as the
economy showed signs of life. Going forward, I think we'll see
volatility in that market as the economy moves forward in fits and
starts.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

Fidelity VIP: Contrafund - 24.25% 27.73%
"initial class"
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.59%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's return to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. This benchmark reflects the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of the fund figures are from
commencement of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Contrafund Portfolio
on January 3, 1995, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by
December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$33,957 - a 239.57% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,119 - a 251.19%
increase.

annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Contrafund Portfolio
- - Service Class on January 3, 1995, when the fund started. As the
chart shows, by December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $33,900 - a 239.00% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over
the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested,
the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,119 - a 251.19%
increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(Photograph of Will Danoff)
An interview with
Will Danoff,
Portfolio Manager
of Contrafund Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, WILL?
A. The fund performed well for the 12 months that ended December 31,
1999, posting a higher return than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index,
which returned 21.04%.
Q. WHAT FACTORS HELPED THE FUND BEAT ITS BENCHMARK?
A. The fund was able to participate in the technology rally during
1999, and also received strong returns from its holdings in the media
and leisure and the telecommunications groups. A de-emphasis on health
and finance stocks also helped performance, as those groups endured a
very challenging year.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITHIN THE TECHNOLOGY SECTOR DURING THE
PERIOD?
A. The sector exploded during the second half of the year, as global
Internet traffic and wireless phone usage surged, and the global
economy strengthened. Technology earnings growth accelerated to 28% in
1999, up from less than 10% in 1998 and 1997, and vastly better than
the rest of the market's 7% growth rate. I chose to emphasize global
networking and software leaders such as Cisco Systems and Microsoft,
both of which were very profitable and continued to grow by more than
30% annually. Both companies were top-5 positions at the end of the
period and helped performance significantly in 1999.
Q. HOW ABOUT MEDIA AND LEISURE AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS STOCKS?
A. The immense popularity of the Internet filtered into these sectors
as well. As the Web grows and enables faster and more convenient
distribution of content, traditional media companies should become
more valuable. As such, the fund held considerable stakes in leading
media companies such as Time Warner, CBS and Viacom, and each
performed well. The telecommunications group, meanwhile, benefited
from the continued growth in wireless usage, as well as from the huge
increase in data traffic - primarily Internet-related - throughout the
global telephony network. Worldwide wireless subscribers grew 50% in
1999, and are expected to sustain that growth rate going forward. Data
traffic accounts for more than 50% of global traffic already, and is
doubling every year. The fund benefited from its investments in Nokia,
Motorola and Ericsson, the leading cell phone and wireless
infrastructure manufacturers in the world.
Q. DID YOU FOLLOW ANY "OUT OF FAVOR" THEMES DURING THE PERIOD?
A. I increased the fund's Japanese holdings. Entering 1999, Japan had
endured a very challenging economic environment. The Nikkei 225 Index
peaked at 38,900 in December 1989, and was below 15,000 at the
beginning of the period as an ongoing recession crushed corporate
profits throughout the 1990s. But by last summer, Japanese companies
were trading at half the cash-flow valuations of their U.S.
counterparts, Japan's central bank had shifted toward easier monetary
policies and Japanese firms were cutting costs aggressively and taking
other shareholder-friendly actions. As a result, earnings rebounded
throughout 1999 and share prices followed. The fund's positions in
Japanese brokers and selected technology companies performed well as a
result.
Q. WHERE DID THE FUND'S DISAPPOINTMENTS LIE?
A. The global economy, and particularly the U.S. economy, were much
stronger than expected in 1999. I had anticipated faster economic
growth, and should have positioned the fund more aggressively with a
higher weighting in technology and even lower weightings in defensive
areas such as drug, grocery-store and financial stocks. The fund's
positions in such steady "defensive" growers as CVS, Safeway and
Associates First Capital detracted from performance as the market paid
virtually any price in 1999 for accelerating earnings growth, and
discarded these steady growers regardless of their low share prices.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm concerned about the recent interest-rate tightenings by the
U.S. Federal Reserve. With unemployment levels at 30-year lows, the
risk of accelerating wage inflation is rising. Higher interest rates
should slow the economy and could squeeze corporate profit growth,
particularly in the second half of 2000. I expect earnings growth to
slow in 2000, and am worried that profits could disappoint even with
those expectations. Thus, the fund is positioned more cautiously on
economically sensitive sectors than it was a year ago. The fund
remains underweighted in technology relative to the S&P 500, and I
believe I will find better buying opportunities in the future.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

FIDELITY VIP: GROWTH 4.27% 21.51%
OPPORTUNITIES - "INITIAL
CLASS"
S&P 500 21.04% 28.59%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's return to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. This benchmark reflects the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Opportunities
Portfolio on January 3, 1995, when the fund started. As the chart
shows, by December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $26,465 - a 164.65% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $35,119 - a 251.19%
increase.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's return to the performance of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. This benchmark reflects the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of the fund figures are from
commencement of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
(photographs of George Vanderheiden and Bettina Doulton)
NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: The following is an interview with George
Vanderheiden, Portfolio Manager of Growth Opportunities Portfolio,
with additional comments from Bettina Doulton, who became manager of
the fund on February 1, 2000.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, GEORGE?
G.V. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the fund
underperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index's return of 21.04%.
Q. WHAT WERE THE PRIMARY REASONS FOR THE FUND'S UNDERPERFORMANCE?
G.V. Two explanations spring to mind. First, the fund was considerably
underweighted in technology stocks. The S&P 500's tech weighting at
the end of the period was nearly twice as much as the fund's. While
their valuations were vastly overinflated in my opinion, a small group
of technology stocks - such as Microsoft, Intel, Dell and a few others
- - continued to drive the performance of the market. I did own
positions in most of these, but did not weight them as heavily as the
index did.
Q. WHAT ELSE HELD BACK PERFORMANCE?
G.V. The second factor was the fund's value and defensive growth
positioning. At the period's outset, I felt value stocks looked
attractive relative to growth stocks. This strategy paid off in the
second quarter of 1999, as central bank interest-rate easings around
the world, recoveries in Asia and Russia, and a rebound in commodity
prices - particularly oil - all contributed to a broadening of
corporate earnings. Unfortunately for the fund, it remained a very
narrow, growth-oriented market for the remainder of the year.
Q. WHAT CAUSED VALUE STOCKS TO LOSE THEIR LUSTER IN THE EYES OF
INVESTORS?
G.V. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board, wary of an overheated domestic
economy and impending signs of inflation, hiked short-term interest
rates by 0.25 percentage points on June 30, which effectively ended
the value and cyclical rally. Two more rate hikes by the same amount,
one in August and the other in November, further sealed their demise.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGIC REACTION TO THE FED'S ACTIONS?
G.V. I stopped buying cyclical and value stocks and focused on
defensive growth stocks - companies that grow their earnings at a 10%
to 15% annual rate, have a reasonable price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio
and typically are not really affected by interest rates or recessions.
It's a broad category that included financial holdings such as Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac; drug stocks such as Schering-Plough and Eli
Lilly; and grocery store chains such as Safeway and Kroger.
Unfortunately, not much worked well in 1999 other than technology.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DID WORK WELL FOR THE FUND?
G.V. Not surprisingly, the fund's best performer in 1999 was a
technology holding, Solectron, a contract electronic manufacturer to
which other technology companies outsource their manufacturing. Strong
stock selection in the retail and telecom sectors also helped the
fund's overall return. In retail, Home Depot and Wal-Mart were the
fund's second- and third-best contributors, respectively, to
performance. Each benefited from the strong U.S. economy and
consumers' ability to finance home improvements. U.K.-based
telecommunications company Vodafone, which enjoyed solid earnings
growth, also had a consistent run of outstanding performance.
Q. WHICH HOLDINGS HURT PERFORMANCE?
G.V. Philip Morris, one of the fund's largest positions, was one of
its largest relative detractors due to the company's ongoing
litigation battles. Despite beating their earnings estimates, Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac, two government-sponsored mortgage companies, also
were disappointments. The nervous investor sentiment over rising
interest rates that drove down the finance sector in general, also -
unjustly, to a degree - drove down the share prices of these two
stocks.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, BETTINA, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING MONTHS?
B.D. First, let me say that it's an honor to succeed an icon like
George Vanderheiden. He is one of the most respected money managers of
all time. Turning back to the market, I think the fundamental outlook
for the technology stocks - the enablers of the new economy - remains
positive. I expect the effort to upgrade Corporate America's processes
via the Internet, be it customer service, sales and marketing,
logistics or inventory management, to continue for the next couple of
years. Internationally, this trend is just getting started. Meanwhile,
I will be searching to find the companies that can emerge as the
winners, selecting those that I think can successfully adapt their
business models and, thus, demonstrate consistent double-digit
earnings growth rates over time.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the total return figures would have been lower.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

FIDELITY VIP INDEX 500 20.52% 28.16% 21.07%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.56% 21.45%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard
& Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, August 27, 1992.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Index 500 Portfolio
on August 27, 1992, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by
December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$40,759 - a 307.59% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $41,692 - a 316.92%
increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(Photograph with Dean Barr)
An interview with Dean Barr, who oversees the Index 500 Portfolio's
investment management personnel as Managing Director for Bankers
Trust, sub-adviser of the fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DEAN?
A. The fund's performance was in line with the S&P's return of 21.04%
for the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. This marks the fifth
consecutive year in which the S&P, and hence, the fund, has recorded
an annual return of over 20%.
Q. WITH FIVE STRAIGHT YEARS OF RETURNS EXCEEDING 20%, ONE WOULD THINK
THAT THE STOCK MARKET IS IN GREAT SHAPE. TRUE?
A. Yes and no. Interestingly, the top 50 stocks in the S&P 500, the
so-called "Nifty 50," accounted for 115% of its total return.
Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks had a cumulative return of -3.13%.
Also, one single sector - technology - was responsible for
approximately 70% of the S&P's return. This reflects incredibly narrow
market breadth. Overall, more stocks fell than rose in 1999. So are
the double-digit returns masking a hidden bear market? Some believe
so, and that this scenario will lead to more interest rate hikes.
Others believe that this is a natural fallout of the "new economy,"
Internet-centric business and consumer environments. It's too soon to
tell how this will play out in 2000, but it will certainly be
interesting to watch how the dynamics unfold.
Q. LET'S TALK MORE ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, THE FUND'S AND THE
BENCHMARK'S LARGEST SECTOR WEIGHTING . . .
A. In a year in which "dot.com" became part of our everyday lexicon,
technology was paced by the Internet frenzy - from servers to search
engines to semiconductors, and pretty much everything else in between.
In some cases, tech stocks succeeded almost without reason. Excessive
valuations, little to no revenues, questionable fundamentals . . . and
yet, they still managed to produce outstanding returns. Overall,
however, strong current earnings growth in most issues and potential
growth year-over-year is what captured investors' attention and, in
their minds, warranted the lofty valuations. The big winners for the
fund and the index included Microsoft, the largest holding and
single-best performer for each, and other familiar names such as
Cisco, Intel, Oracle and Sun Microsystems.
Q. FINANCE REMAINED THE SECOND-LARGEST SECTOR WEIGHTING.
HOW DID THIS GROUP PERFORM IN 1999?
A. Three interest-rate hikes by the Federal Reserve Board were
especially detrimental to the finance sector, which typically
underperforms in a rising rate environment. Banks were particularly
hard hit, and even companies that beat their earnings estimates and
demonstrated strong fundamentals - such as government-sponsored
mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - were dragged under.
Some areas of the industry did fare well, however, namely consumer
finance and credit card companies. Among these, American Express was a
true standout. Its credit card business benefited from the vigorous
U.S. economic growth, and it implemented one of the best Internet
strategies of any traditional bricks-and-mortar enterprise.
Q. HEALTH CARE, ONE OF THE HOTTEST SECTORS IN 1998, COOLED
CONSIDERABLY IN 1999. WHAT HAPPENED?
A. Large-cap pharmaceutical stocks, which drove the sector in '98,
were largely responsible for its decline in 1999. Investors became
concerned about weaker sales resulting from the potential loss of
patent protection for many drugs, possible government regulation of
pricing and a poor product pipeline outlook. Names like Pfizer and Eli
Lilly fell greatly from their highs. But again, like the finance
sector, there were some industries within health care that performed
very well - specifically, biotechnology and genomics. These groups
experienced waves of investor interest based on their considerable
growth prospects.
Q. WHAT OTHER SECTORS OF THE MARKET WERE NOTEWORTHY IN 1999?
A. While utilities underperformed as a category, the wireless and
telecommunications subsectors within utilities performed exceptionally
well. Driven by the growth of the Internet and the demand for digital
voice and data communications, wireless and telecom contributed
exceptional returns. One of the most talked-about stocks in 1999,
Qualcomm, resides in this sector. Its stock price increased over
1,800% during the year.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS?
A. I don't see the technology juggernaut slowing to a great degree,
nor do I see the U.S. economy putting on the brakes anytime soon. Of
course, that's fairly dependent upon how hard the Federal Reserve
Board steps on them. But if productivity remains strong, pricing
remains steady and wage pressures don't come to bear, then I foresee a
favorable 2000 for the stock market.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.

FIDELITY VIP: GROWTH & INCOME 9.17% 22.11%
- - "INITIAL CLASS"
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 26.79%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard
& Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common
stocks. 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, December 31, 1996.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD BE LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth & Income
Portfolio on December 31, 1996, when the fund started. As the chart
shows, by December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $18,220 - an 82.20% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 investment would have grown to $20,396 - a 103.96%

reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns

include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Louis Salemy)
An interview with Louis Salemy, Portfolio Manager of Growth & Income
Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, LOUIS?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund's return
was less than half of the 21.04% return of the Standard & Poor's 500
Index.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND UNDERPERFORM THE INDEX?
A. Underweighting the technology sector was the most important reason.
In the second half of 1999, there were essentially two stock
markets-technology stocks and everything else. The discrepancy was so
pronounced that the non-technology part of the S&P 500, as a group,
was actually down for the year. I brought the fund's technology
weighting up from 13.0% of net assets six months ago to 20.7% at the
end of the period. However, it was not enough to make up the
performance shortfall. Another factor that hurt performance relative
to the index was investors' emphasis within the technology sector on a
small number of stocks with very high price-to-earnings ratios. The
fund's policy of pursuing growth at a reasonable price prevented it
from buying these stocks. Finally, missing out on the brief but
powerful rally in cyclical stocks earlier in the year contributed to
the fund's underperformance relative to the index.
Q. WHY DID YOU MAINTAIN AN OVERWEIGHTING IN FINANCE STOCKS - WHICH
WERE 17.8% OF NET ASSETS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD - IN THE FACE OF
RISING INTEREST RATES?
A. Rising interest rates do not affect all types of finance stocks
equally. Banks, which I underweighted, tend to have more difficulty
responding quickly to rate increases. Furthermore, during the period
many banks had earnings problems related to recent mergers and
acquisitions. However, consumer finance companies and credit card
companies, which I overweighted relative to the index, can do well
when interest rates are rising, as long as the economy is growing
vigorously and the rate hikes are not too steep. This phenomenon was
reflected in the strong earnings reported by many of the fund's
finance holdings. Unfortunately, investors chose to focus, for the
time being, on interest rates instead of earnings.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DID WELL FOR THE FUND?
A. Microsoft topped the list of stocks that helped performance.
Investors put aside earlier concerns over the government's antitrust
lawsuit against the company, and the stock rallied sharply as the
period drew to a close. In addition, Microsoft was helped by positive
momentum in the technology sector generally and by the upcoming launch
of the company's Windows 2000 operating system. American Express was
another strong holding, benefiting from the introduction of a credit
card aimed specifically at Internet users. Also doing well was Home
Depot, which enjoyed strong sales at existing stores as well as good
results from new stores.
Q. WHAT STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?
A. Philip Morris was a disappointing holding. Although the stock was
already cheap when I bought it, it got cheaper during the period due
to ongoing litigation concerns. Associates First, a consumer credit
company, consistently reported earnings that matched analysts'
estimates, but the stock took a hit because of concerns about the
impact of higher interest rates and a slight deterioration in the
credit quality of the company's loan portfolio. Freddie Mac and Fannie
Mae, two government-sponsored mortgage companies, also made the list
of disappointments. Apparently frightened by higher interest rates,
investors chose to ignore the excellent earnings outlook for these two
stocks.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, LOUIS?
A. My decisions about sector allocations will be influenced to some
extent by what happens in the bond market and the economy. Right now
the economy looks strong, and if that trend continues, there may be
further opportunities in cyclical stocks. The technology sector also
bears careful watching, especially for signs of a reacceleration of
spending following the Y2K phenomenon. On the other hand, if prospects
for the bond market improve, perhaps because of a softening economy, I
would consider moving more assets into the finance sector, where
investor sentiment has been overly negative. My main focus, though, is
to add value through stock selection by finding stocks with the
potential to contribute meaningfully to the fund's goal of achieving a
high total return through a combination of current income and capital
appreciation.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

Russell 3000 Value 6.65% 22.15% 15.31%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.56% 18.21%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
value-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations and the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. These benchmarks
reflect the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income
Portfolio on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $38,695 - a
286.95% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Russell 3000 Value Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $41,556 - a 315.56% increase. Going
forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the Russell
3000 Value Index, rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The
Russell 3000 Value Index more closely reflects the fund's investment
strategy.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower.

AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
value-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations. You can also
compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks.
These benchmarks reflect the reinvestment of 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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income
Portfolio - Service Class on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by
December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$38,622 - a 286.22% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Russell 3000 Value Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $41,556 - a 315.56% increase.
Going forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the
Russell 3000 Value Index, rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
The Russell 3000 Value Index more closely reflects the fund's
investment strategy.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Steve Petersen)
An interview with
Steve Petersen,
Portfolio Manager
of Equity-Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. The fund slightly underperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index,
which returned 6.65% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE LAG THAT OF THE RUSSELL INDEX?
A. The Russell 3000 Value Index, which focuses on companies with value
characteristics, closely reflects the fund's investment strategy.
However, 7% of the index was in technology stocks - typically growth
stocks rather than dividend-paying stocks - and the fund was unable to
identify good dividend-paying candidates within this sector. A huge
push in technology performance, particularly during the fourth
quarter, helped boost the Russell index. Consequently, the fund's
underweighting in technology stocks hurt its performance relative to
the index.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITHIN THIS CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT?
A. I followed my long-term strategy, which emphasizes companies that
pay dividends, show signs of improvement in business fundamentals and
have good valuations. Rather than buying the high-priced growth
stocks, I looked for earnings growth, restructuring progress,
acquisition activity or share buyback programs that allowed for faster
earnings growth. Although this approach has worked well for us before,
over the past two years the market focused only on companies that had
robust internal growth, and punished companies that could not sustain
strong earnings growth.
Q. FINANCIAL STOCKS ACCOUNTED FOR A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE
FUND'S PORTFOLIO AND THE RUSSELL INDEX. HOW DID THEY DO?
A. The biggest impact on financial stocks during 1999 was the Federal
Reserve Board's interest-rate increases. In general, rising interest
rates are not good for this sector because they tend to cause
borrowing activity to slow. We also saw a gradual narrowing between
longer-term fixed-income yields and shorter-term yields during the
year, which negatively affected many financial stocks. Lending
institutions play the spreads, borrowing short-term money - deposits -
and lending long-term money - mortgages and installment loans. When
spreads narrow, it hurts banks' profitability. Such traditional
commercial banks as Bank One, BankAmerica and savings and loan
institution Washington Mutual performed poorly. Fannie Mae also
suffered from negative investor perception of the overall sector,
even though its earnings were on track during the year. On the other
hand, financial companies that earned a higher percentage of their
revenues from transactions or asset management did well during the
year. For example, Citigroup benefited from strong equity markets
through its Salomon Smith Barney subsidiary. Fund holding Bank of New
York's custodial business helped its performance.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL?
A. GE, the fund's largest holding, contributed significantly to
overall performance. This company demonstrated consistent earnings
growth and did a good job strengthening its various business units.
Energy holdings BP Amoco and Total Fina benefited from rising oil
prices and their stocks performed very well. Alcoa demonstrated its
ability to cut costs, make successful acquisitions of second-tier
producers, integrate those acquisitions successfully, purchase
properties and streamline its operations. As a result, with aluminum
prices trending upward during 1999, Alcoa's stock performed strongly.
Wal-Mart continued to improve profitability and benefited from a
consumer trend toward value for such products as apparel.
Q. WHAT ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. In addition to the financial stocks I mentioned earlier, Philip
Morris performed poorly, suffering from continued litigation woes that
do not appear likely to let up in the near future. I sold much of the
fund's position in this stock. Waste Management experienced internal
accounting problems earlier in 1999, and its stock fell significantly.
I sold this stock from the fund's portfolio.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, STEVE?
A. I'm still cautious. The outlook for corporate earnings growth in
the near term looks good and, as the world economy continues its
recovery, we're seeing more good news from companies that were hurt by
the global economic downturn last year. The potentially bad news is
that the U.S. government and the Fed are still concerned about the
potential for inflation to pick up once again. They also appear to be
monitoring the valuation anomaly on the technology side of the market.
Any action to increase interest rates could be detrimental to value
stocks.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
1999
FIDELITY VIP: BALANCED - 4.55% 13.50%
"INITIAL CLASS"
Fidelity Balanced Composite 12.00% 20.12%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.59%
LB Aggregate Bond -0.82% 7.77%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Fidelity
Balanced Composite Index - a hypothetical combination of unmanaged
indices. The composite index combines the total returns of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio
on January 3, 1995, when the fund started. As the chart shows, by
December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$18,827 - an 88.27% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks, and the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of
investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government,
corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with
maturities of one year or more, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index would have grown to
$35,119 - a 251.19% increase. If $10,000 was put in the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, it would have grown to $14,534 - a
45.34% increase. You can also look at how the Fidelity Balanced
Composite Index did over the same period. The composite index combines
the total returns of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. With dividends and interest, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $24,990 - a 149.90%
increase.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: BALANCED PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.

S&P 500 21.04% 28.59%
LB Aggregate Bond -0.82% 7.77%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant
rate each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Fidelity
Balanced Composite Index - a hypothetical combination of unmanaged
indices. The composite index combines the total returns of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Balanced Portfolio -
Service Class on January 3, 1995, when the fund started. As the chart
shows, by December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $18,759 - an 87.59% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks, and the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a market value-weighted index of
investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government,
corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with
maturities of one year or more, did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment in the S&P 500 would have grown to $35,119 - a 251.19%
increase. If $10,000 was put in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index, it would have grown to $14,534 - a 45.34% increase. You can
also look at how the Fidelity Balanced Composite Index did over the
same period. The composite index combines the total returns of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index. With dividends and interest, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 would have grown to $24,990 - a 149.90% increase.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: BALANCED PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGERS' OVERVIEW
(photograph of John Avery and Kevin Grant)
An interview with John Avery (right), Lead Portfolio Manager of
Balanced Portfolio, and Kevin Grant, manager for fixed-income
investments
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JOHN?
J.A. Considering the fund's mix of equity and fixed-income
investments, its returns typically fall somewhere between that of its
benchmark - the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - and that of the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. That was indeed the case for the 12
months that ended December 31, 1999, as the fund's return trailed the
21.04% return of the S&P 500 but outpaced the -0.82% return of the
Lehman Brothers index.
Q. WHAT AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO THE S&P 500?
J.A. Simply put, our underexposure to technology hurt. The fund was,
in essence, left by the wayside during the narrowly led advances of
technology stocks over the past 12 months. I found it difficult
gaining adequate exposure to the high-tech segment of the market, an
area I deemed far too richly valued. With technology representing over
one-quarter of the S&P 500 index, relative performance struggled to
keep pace during the sector's powerful rally.
Q. WHAT OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCED FUND PERFORMANCE?
J.A. With the notable exception of some of the strong, larger names,
such as American Express and American International Group, the fund's
overweighting in financial stocks relative to the index during a
period of rising interest rates detracted from returns. Our
overexposure to Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae and Bank of New York hurt the
most. Similarly, many of our investments in health care, most notably
our stake in pharmaceutical firms, also hurt performance. Having
overweighted positions in pharmaceutical companies Schering-Plough and
Eli Lilly took its toll on the fund during the period. We did manage,
however, to erase some of our losses by holding comparatively less
Pfizer and Abbot Laboratories than the index. On the whole, investors
punished drug stocks for delivering earnings growth that continued to
lag the broader market. Switching to contributors, select energy
holdings including BP Amoco helped, as a bullish market for oil and
related products fueled the industry's strong advances. Our
overweighting in broadcasting stocks - specifically CBS - lifted
returns, as many traditional media companies benefited from an
onslaught of Internet advertising.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS HELPED? WHICH HURT?
J.A. The fund's top holding, Microsoft, broke out at the end of the
period, fueled by strong earnings and a solid product pipeline.
Telecommunications giant MCI WorldCom also helped, giving the fund
exposure to the development of the Internet and the soaring demand for
voice and data delivery. Along those same lines, Texas Instruments and
Motorola were each big winners in the cellular bonanza. GE rose
sharply on consistently impressive earnings growth related to the
robustness of its underlying businesses. On the downside, Philip
Morris continued its period-long swoon caused by tobacco-related
litigation. Eli Lilly faltered on deteriorating sales of its key
product, Prozac. Postal metering stronghold Pitney-Bowes slipped
further as Internet-only rivals began to widen their lead in the Net
postage market.
Q. TURNING TO YOU, KEVIN, HOW DID THE BOND PORTION OF THE FUND
PERFORM?
K.G. It was an uphill battle for bonds, as interest rates rose
steadily over the course of the period - not exactly a recipe for
success for most bond funds. In managing this fund's fixed-income
investments, however, I relied on sector allocation to gain exposure
to a strong recovery in the spread sectors - namely, corporate bonds
and mortgage securities - and, thus, an advantage over the
Treasury-rich Lehman Brothers index, as these securities outperformed
their government counterparts during the 12-month period.
Specifically, our stake in mortgages helped. This sector benefited
from favorable prepayment levels, as well as declining interest-rate
volatility later in the period. Within corporates, we found ourselves
in the right areas of the market. Our positioning in various media,
telecommunications and energy names proved particularly beneficial for
the fund's bond subportfolio.
Q. JOHN, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
J.A. I'm cautiously optimistic. Even with higher interest rates, many
companies continue to do very well, and more money continues to pour
into stocks. I will remain focused on individual company fundamentals,
trying to add value from the bottom up. Due to their high valuations,
the fund will assuredly miss out on the growth potential pervading the
dot.com universe. However, to fill the void, I intend to pursue those
companies with strong businesses and attractive valuations that are
ideally positioned to benefit either directly or indirectly from the
technology boom.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, PAST 1 YEAR LIFE OF FUND
1999
FIDELITY VIP: ASSET MGR: 15.26% 20.16%
GROWTH - "INITIAL CLASS"
Asset Manager: Growth Composite 14.55% n/a
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.59%
LB Aggregate Bond -0.82% 7.77%
LB 3 Month T-Bill 4.90% n/a
Variable Annuity Flexible 12.07% n/a
Portfolio Funds Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Asset Manager:
Growth Composite Index - a hypothetical combination of unmanaged
indices. The composite index combines the total returns of the
Standard & Poor's 500Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index weighted according
to the fund's neutral mix.
You can also compare the fund's returns to the variable annuity
flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past
one year average represents a peer group of 84 mutual funds. The
benchmarks listed in the table above include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager:
Growth Portfolio on January 31, 1995, shortly after the fund started.
As the chart shows, by December 31, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $24,977 - a 149.77% increase. With reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index would have grown to $34,225 - a 242.25%
increase. If $10,000 was invested in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index, it would have grown to $14,231 - a 42.31% increase.
You can also look at how the Asset Manager: Growth Composite Index did
over the same period. The Asset Manager: Growth Composite Index
combines the cumulative total returns of three unmanaged indexes - the
S&P 500, Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, and the Lehman Brothers
3 Month Treasury Bill Index - according to the fund's neutral mix*.
With reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000
investment in the index would have grown to $26,001 - a 160.01%
increase.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the life of fund total return would have been lower.

Portfolio Funds Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Asset Manager:
Growth Composite Index - a hypothetical combination of unmanaged
indices. The composite index combines the total returns of the
Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index
and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index weighted according
to the fund's neutral mix.
You can also compare the fund's returns to the variable annuity
flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past
one year average represents a peer group of 84 mutual funds. The
benchmarks listed in the table above include reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown. The life of fund figures are from commencement
of operations, January 3, 1995.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURN WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Richard Habermann)
An interview with
Richard Habermann,
Portfolio Manager of
Asset Manager: Growth
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DICK?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund topped the
14.55% return of the Asset Manager: Growth Composite Index.
Q. WHAT ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES DID YOU FOLLOW DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's neutral allocation mix calls for 70% of its assets to be
invested in stocks, 25% in bonds and the rest in short-term and money
market instruments. With stocks performing well through much of the
period, I kept the fund's average equity exposure at around 74%.
Timing, though, is also important, and the fund would have benefited
further from a higher stock exposure during certain periods in the
spring. On the bond side, the fund was somewhat underweighted on
average to accommodate the equity position. My decision to lower the
fund's exposure to investment-grade bonds worked out well, as rising
interest rates detracted from returns. My focus within the bond
subportfolio was instead on high-yield securities, which performed
very well relative to the Treasury market.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND'S EQUITY SUBPORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's equities performed slightly better than the S&P 500
index, quite an accomplishment considering the narrowness of the
overall market in 1999. By that, I mean that 10 of the major stocks
within the index produced around 60% of its advance. Conversely, the
bottom 450 stocks within the S&P produced a negative aggregate return.
The technology sector led the market, and Steve Snider - who manages
the fund's stocks - was able to find enough good names to keep pace
with the tech stocks within the index. Industry leaders Cisco Systems
and Microsoft continued to perform well, as did Lexmark International.
The fund also benefited from the huge demand for wireless
communications by owning positions in Qualcomm and Motorola. Retail
stocks also performed well, with Wal-Mart being the fund's top overall
contributor during the period. Disappointments included pharmaceutical
firm Schering-Plough, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of
which struggled due to less-than-favorable interest-rate conditions.
The fund no longer held equity stakes in Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac at
the end of the period.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE INVESTMENTS WITHIN THE FUND'S BOND
SUBPORTFOLIO?
A. I continued to emphasize high-yield bonds, which clearly turned out
to be a wise move. These positions - managed by Fred Hoff - posted
attractive yields against the backdrop of a strong U.S. economy and a
favorable corporate earnings outlook. The best individual high-yield
performers included telecommunications names Nextel Communications,
WinStar and Teligent. As far as the fund's investment-grade bond
positions, rising interest rates pressured returns through much of the
period. Despite this general move in rates, the fund was heavily
weighted in corporate and mortgage-backed securities, which performed
relatively well during the period. This subportfolio - managed by
Charlie Morrison - benefited from its investments in Seagram, Cable &
Wireless and Capital One, as well as from its exposure to commercial
mortgage-backed securities, particularly in the lower credit tiers.
Q. HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET
INVESTMENTS?
A. With interest rates spiking upward, John Todd - who manages this
portion of the fund - focused mainly on repurchase agreements. These
securities - commonly called repos - are short-term investments that
the seller agrees to buy back at a specified price and time. Repos
offered the fund an effective sanctuary in which to invest assets on a
temporary basis during the period. They also provided an adequate
level of liquidity, which was desirable given the rate scenario.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Despite the global economic growth we've seen recently, inflation
remains subdued. Corporate earnings appear to be on solid ground for
2000, which means there may be more market segments that are
reasonably valued. From an allocation standpoint the direction of
interest rates will have some influence on whether I take more of a
defensive or equity-oriented approach.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 years total return would have been lower.

LB 3 Month T-Bill 4.90% 5.44% 5.19%
Variable Annuity Flexible 12.07% 17.11% 12.94%
Portfolio Funds Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Asset Manager
Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The
composite index combines the total returns of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index weighted according to the fund's
neutral mix.
You can also compare the fund's returns to the variable annuity
flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past
one year average represents a peer group of 84 mutual funds. The
benchmarks listed in the table above include 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager
Portfolio on December 31, 1989. By December 31, 1999, the value of the
investment would have grown to $34,383 - a 243.83% increase. With
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment
in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index would have grown to $53,289 over
the same period - a 432.89% increase on the initial investment. If
$10,000 was invested in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, it
would have grown to $20,988 - a 109.88% increase.
You can also look at how the Asset Manager Composite Index did over
the same period. The composite index combines the cumulative total
returns of three unmanaged indexes - the S&P 500, Lehman Brothers
Aggregate Bond Index, and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill
Index - according to the fund's neutral mix.* With reinvested
dividends and capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the index
would have grown to $30,960 - a 209.60% increase.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 years total return would have been lower.

Portfolio Funds Average
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to those of the Asset Manager
Composite Index, a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices. The
composite index combines the total returns of the Standard & Poor's
500 Index, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index and the Lehman
Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index weighted according to the fund's
neutral mix.
You can also compare the fund's returns to the variable annuity
flexible portfolio funds average, which reflects the performance of
mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past
one year average represents a peer group of 84 mutual funds. The
benchmarks listed in the table above include 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 long-term growth and short-term
volatility. In turn, the share price and return of a
fund that invests in stocks will vary. That means if
you sell your shares during a market downturn,
you might lose money. But if you can ride out the
market's ups and downs, you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Asset Manager
Portfolio - Service Class on December 31, 1989. By December 31, 1999,
the value of the investment would have grown to $34,250 - a 242.50%
increase. With reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, a
$10,000 investment in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index would have grown
to $53,289 over the same period - a 432.89% increase on the initial
investment. If $10,000 was invested in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index, it would have grown to $20,988 - a 109.88% increase. You
can also look at how the Asset Manager Composite Index did over the
same period. The composite index combines the cumulative total returns
of three unmanaged indexes - the S&P 500, Lehman Brothers Aggregate
Bond Index, and the Lehman Brothers 3 Month Treasury Bill Index -
according to the fund's neutral mix.* With reinvested dividends and
capital gains, if any, a $10,000 investment in the index would have
grown to $30,960 - a 209.60% increase.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: ASSET MANAGER PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Richard Habermann)
An interview with
Richard Habermann, Portfolio Manager of Asset Manager Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM COMPARED TO ITS
BENCHMARK, DICK?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund topped the
10.42% return of the Asset Manager Composite Index.
Q. WHAT ASSET ALLOCATION STRATEGIES DID YOU FOLLOW DURING
THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's neutral allocation mix calls for 50% of its assets to be
invested in stocks, 40% in bonds and 10% in short-term and money
market instruments. With stocks performing well through much of the
period, I kept the fund's average equity exposure at around 54%, and
this emphasis boosted the fund's performance. On the bond side, 1999
was not a good year for the bond market as a whole. However, the fund
had significant exposure to both the corporate and mortgage-backed
sectors, which performed fairly well relative to Treasury bonds. The
fund also benefited from its investments in high-yield securities,
which performed well relative to investment-grade bonds.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND'S EQUITY SUBPORTFOLIO PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The fund's equities performed slightly better than the S&P 500
index, quite an accomplishment considering the narrowness of the
overall market in 1999. By that, I mean that 10 of the major stocks
within the index generated around 60% of its advance. Conversely, the
bottom 450 stocks within the S&P produced a negative aggregate return.
The technology sector led the market, and Steve Snider - who manages
the fund's stocks - was able to find enough good names to keep pace
with the tech stocks within the index. Industry leaders Cisco Systems
and Microsoft continued to perform well, as did Lexmark International.
The fund also benefited from the huge demand for wireless
communications by owning positions in Qualcomm and Motorola. Retail
stocks also performed well, with Wal-Mart being the fund's top overall
contributor during the period. Disappointments included pharmaceutical
firm Schering-Plough, as well as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both of
which struggled due to less-than-favorable interest-rate conditions.
The fund no longer held equity stakes in Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac at
the end of the period.
Q. HOW DID YOU ALLOCATE INVESTMENTS WITHIN THE FUND'S BOND
SUBPORTFOLIO?
A. As far as the fund's investment-grade bond positions, rising
interest rates pressured returns through much of the period. Despite
this general move in rates, the fund was heavily weighted in corporate
and mortgage-backed securities, which performed relatively well during
the period. This subportfolio, managed by Charlie Morrison, benefited
from its investments in Seagram, Cable & Wireless and Capital One
Financial, as well as from its exposure to lower-quality, commercial
mortgage-backed securities. The fund's high-yield positions - managed
by Fred Hoff - performed nicely against the backdrop of a strong U.S.
economy and a favorable corporate earnings outlook. The best
individual high-yield performers included telecommunications names
Nextel Communications, WinStar and Teligent.
Q. HOW DID YOU POSITION THE FUND'S SHORT-TERM/MONEY MARKET
INVESTMENTS?
A. With interest rates spiking upward, John Todd - who manages this
portion of the fund - focused mainly on repurchase agreements. These
securities - commonly called repos - are short-term investments that
the seller agrees to buy back at a specified price and time. Repos
offered the fund an effective sanctuary in which to invest assets on a
temporary basis during the period. They also provided an adequate
level of liquidity, which was desirable given the rate scenario.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Despite the global economic growth we've seen recently, inflation
remains subdued. Corporate earnings appear to be on solid ground for
2000, which means there may be more market segments that are
reasonably valued. From an allocation standpoint, the direction of
interest rates will have some influence on whether I take more of a
defensive or equity-oriented approach.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

ML High Yield Master II 2.51% 9.89% 11.21%
ML High Yield Master 1.57% 9.61% 10.79%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of
all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest
bonds and payment-in-kind securities. You can also compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master
Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee
high-yield bonds. Issues included in both benchmarks have maturities
of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but
are not in default. These benchmarks reflect the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the opposite direction
of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and
yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.
(checkmark)
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. The fund includes high yielding, lower-rated
securities which are subject to greater price volatility and may
involve greater risk of default. The market for these securities may
be less liquid.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: High Income
Portfolio on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $32,313 - a
223.13% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $28,926 - a 189.26% increase.
Going forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the
Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, rather than the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master Index. The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II
Index contains deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities
and is therefore a better representation of the high yield bond
universe.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). The initial offering of Service Class shares
took place on November 3, 1997. Performance for Service Class shares
reflects an asset based distribution fee (12b-1 fee), and returns
prior to November 3, 1997 are those of Initial Class and do not
include the effects of Service Class' 12b-1 fee. Had Service Class
shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to November 3, 1997
would have been lower. If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 year total return would have been lower.

ML High Yield Master II 2.51% 9.89% 11.21%
ML High Yield Master 1.57% 9.61% 10.79%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of
all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest
bonds and payment-in-kind securities. You can also compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master
Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee
high-yield bonds. Issues included in both benchmarks have maturities
of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but
are not in default. These benchmarks reflect the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: High Income
Portfolio - Service Class on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by
December 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have grown to
$32,233 - a 222.33% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index
did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any,
reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $28,926 -
a 189.26% increase. Going forward, the fund will compare its
performance to that of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index,
rather than the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index. The Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index contains deferred interest bonds and
payment-in-kind securities and is therefore a better representation of
the high yield bond universe.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Barry Coffman)
An interview with
Barry Coffman,
Portfolio Manager
of High Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BARRY?
A. For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 1999, the fund
significantly outpaced the 2.51% return of the Merrill Lynch High
Yield Master II Index.
Q. WHAT WAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT LIKE DURING 1999?
A. Rising interest rates put pressure on nearly all bonds, although
high-yield securities held up reasonably well. The comparatively high
levels of income they provided helped cushion high-yield bonds against
price declines. In addition, the ongoing strength of the stock market
helped many companies with significant capital needs attract equity to
finance growth and/or de-leverage their balance sheets. That said,
this was the second year in a row that the high-yield market failed to
earn its coupon, which is unusual given how strong the economy has
been. In addition, the market was fairly volatile throughout the year,
resulting in a wide disparity of returns between the best and worst
performers. Companies that disappointed investors with
worse-than-expected results got severely punished.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND TO OUTPACE THE MERRILL LYNCH HIGH YIELD MASTER
II INDEX DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. The fund's large weighting - compared to the Merrill Lynch index -
in telecommunications companies was a major reason for its
outperformance. It was a particularly good year for companies that
provide wireless communications, including Nextel and Millicom. Nextel
continued to enjoy strong subscriber growth, raised a significant
amount of equity and received an upgrade from the rating agencies.
Millicom posted significant growth in its customer base despite
increased competition in some of the foreign markets it serves.
Elsewhere in the telecommunications industry, NEXTLINK, WinStar and
Intermedia also were strong performers. These competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs) consistently demonstrated their ability to
add new customers at the expense of regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs). Furthermore, NEXTLINK and WinStar attracted significant
private and public equity, which helped improve their respective
balance sheets and provided sufficient liquidity for the completion of
the build out of their networks.
Q. ASIDE FROM THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR, WHICH OF THE FUND'S
HOLDINGS WERE STANDOUTS DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. A wave of merger and acquisition activity helped boost the cable
sector, particularly the fund's holdings in U.K.-based companies NTL
and Telewest. As virtually the only two remaining players in the
British cable industry, both companies have added new customers by
offering an attractive combination of cable, telephony and Internet
service products.
Q. WHAT MADE NEXTEL AND WINSTAR - WHICH WERE THE FUND'S TWO LARGEST
HOLDINGS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD - SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. Nextel has a truly differentiated mobile wireless product combining
dispatch (walkie-talkie), conventional cellular and now Internet
access all in one sleek handset. In 1999, Nextel made substantial
gains in adding new subscribers. Furthermore, the company began to
generate meaningful cash flow and its credit rating was upgraded
twice. In another positive development, Nextel raised a significant
amount of capital in order to fund its growth plans. WinStar provides
voice and high-speed data services primarily to small- and mid-sized
businesses. The company received a significant investment from
Microsoft, which helped validate WinStar's business plan in the minds
of many investors.
Q. WHERE WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. CellNet Data, which provides wireless reading of utility meters,
was probably the biggest disappointment when the company was
unsuccessful in raising additional capital to fund its growth plans.
Another disappointment was supermarket chain Jitney-Jungle, which
filed for bankruptcy protection when it experienced increased
competitive and other pressures.
Q. WHAT FACTORS WILL SHAPE THE HIGH-YIELD MARKET'S PERFORMANCE IN
2000?
A. The strength of the economy and direction of interest rates will be
major factors in determining high-yield bond returns. I don't foresee
a U.S. recession over the near term. The future of interest rates is
less certain, although I take comfort from the fact that inflation has
remained in check so far. With an increasing percentage of the
high-yield market made up of high-growth companies, the strength of
the equity market also will be a significant factor. The default rate
- - which measures the amount of high-yield companies that are unwilling
or unable to honor their debt - rose to its highest level since the
recessionary period of 1989-90. In my view, the default rate should
decline in 2000, but the market is likely to remain volatile. As
frustrating as that may be, I believe that type of environment plays
to Fidelity's credit research strengths, providing many attractive
investment opportunities.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

FIDELITY VIP: INVESTMENT -1.05% 7.30% 7.19%
GRADE BOND
LB Aggregate Bond -0.82% 7.73% 7.70%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare these figures to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond
Index - a market value-weighted index of investment-grade fixed-rate
debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and
mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of one year or more. This
benchmark includes reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the opposite direction
of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and
yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Investment Grade
Bond Portfolio on December 31, 1989. By December 31, 1999, the value
of the investment would have grown to $20,021 - a 100.21% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Lehman
Brothers Aggregate Bond Index did over the same period. With dividends
and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment
would have grown to $20,991 - a 109.91% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Kevin Grant)
An interview with Kevin Grant, Portfolio Manager of Investment Grade
Bond Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM COMPARED TO ITS BENCHMARK, KEVIN?
A. For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 1999, the fund
performed in line with the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which
returned -0.82 during the same period.
Q. HOW WOULD YOU RECAP THE PERIOD FOR BONDS?
A. It was an uphill battle for bonds, as interest rates ascended
sharply during the first six months of 1999, sending Treasury prices
plummeting and marking the rebound from 1998's flight to safety in
response to financial crises in the Far East. As you know, it's quite
a challenge to get any bond fund to post positive returns in a rising
interest-rate environment. So, given the circumstances, I'd say we
fared reasonably well overall. Sector allocation allowed us to reap
the rewards of a strong recovery in the spread sectors, namely
corporate bonds and mortgage securities, which benefited from
investors seeking higher-yielding alternatives to Treasuries. All
spread sectors outperformed comparable duration Treasuries during this
time frame; thus, the fund benefited from its overexposure to
corporates and mortgages relative to the index. In the past six
months, we saw a more moderate rise in interest rates, based on fears
of inflation and the threat of the Federal Reserve Board further
tightening monetary policy. During the summer, widespread concern
about supply pressures related to the millennium changeover created
waves in the corporate bond market. Those fears proved unfounded in
the fall, with rising rates having a lot to do with keeping supply
contained. Similarly, mortgages lost some ground in the summer but,
like corporates, they bounced back strongly in the fourth quarter -
spurred by declining interest-rate volatility and favorable prepayment
levels - and widening their performance lead over Treasuries.
Q. HOW DID THE FUND'S POSITIONING IN CORPORATE BONDS AFFECT
PERFORMANCE?
A. We really didn't believe the supply scare to begin with, so, when
yield spreads widened relative to Treasuries, we viewed it as an
opportunity to add securities that we liked. We did, however, give up
some returns at this time as a result of our overweighting in
corporates. Our positioning within certain areas of the sector, such
as media and telecommunications, were particularly beneficial to the
fund. We also got a lift from avoiding many of the commodity
industrials, such as chemicals, that struggled during the period.
Additionally, our energy-related positions - many of which we acquired
early in the period as oil prices bottomed - appreciated nicely,
adding to fund returns.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S MORTGAGE SECURITIES HOLDINGS?
A. Mortgage securities helped fend off the negative sentiment that
pervaded the period, adding appreciably to performance. Our stake in
premium mortgages - those issues priced above face value, or par -
helped, as these bonds benefited from a sharp falloff in prepayment
activity influenced by higher interest rates. Discount mortgages also
worked out well for the fund due to positive technical factors.
Refinancing activity slowed considerably, yet housing turnover
remained high as homeowners continued to trade up to bigger homes -
fueled in large part by the strong economy. Prepayments on discount
mortgages, thus, ran faster than normal, which was a big positive
since the bonds get prepaid at par. Toward the end of the period, with
housing turnover heading into a seasonal slowdown, I lightened up a
bit on discount issues and moved to more current-coupon bonds for the
additional yield and potential for price performance.
Q. WHAT OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE?
A. Holdings in government agencies - specifically higher-yielding
callable issues - took on a more meaningful role in the fund as I
began to substitute them for high-grade corporates. Agencies over the
past year cheapened considerably - due in large part to supply reasons
- - and added value by offering returns competitive with high-quality
corporate bonds but with less risk.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm still positive on the spread sectors. In general, mortgages
remain relatively cheap and, given that interest rates have risen and
the housing market has cooled, supply pressures and concerns over
prepayments have eased considerably. With respect to corporates,
earnings and cash flows are still quite good, so companies should
continue to do well from a bondholder's perspective. There's also
growing sentiment shared among corporate treasurers these days to
carry less debt on their balance sheets. Then, there's the boundless
value added from the Internet. Collectively, these factors paint a
fairly decent picture going forward.

PERFORMANCE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either
total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). 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 ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return
by performing at a constant rate each year.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
A money market fund's total returns and yields will vary, and reflect
past results rather than predict future performance.

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. You can compare these yields to the bank
money market deposit account (MMDA) average. The MMDA average is
supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(trademark)
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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Robert Duby)
An interview with Robert Duby, Portfolio Manager of Money Market
Portfolio
Q. BOB, WHAT WAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT LIKE DURING 1999?
A. Strong economic growth and the Federal Reserve Board's decision to
raise short-term interest rates pushed the general level of interest
rates higher during 1999. The Fed raised the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - known as the fed funds rate - three times
during the year - in June, August and November - so that it stood at
5.50% at the end of the period. By doing so, the Fed took back the
three rate cuts it implemented in late 1998 to stave off a global
credit crunch that was crippling the markets at that time. The overall
increase in interest rates was linked to strong domestic economic
growth as evidenced by the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 30
years.
Q. WHY WAS U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH SO STRONG?
A. Growth was spurred by personal consumption, business investment and
the housing market. Rising stock and real estate prices created a
wealth effect that spurred consumer spending - a significant component
of the gross domestic product (GDP) - to the point where it exceeded
personal income and resulted in a negative savings rate. While
commodity prices increased on the heels of a global economic recovery,
there were no significant increases in producer or consumer prices;
gains in productivity kept inflation in check.
Q. THEN WHY DID THE FED RAISE RATES?
A. Continued strong GDP growth, coupled with concerns about the impact
of wage pressures in already-firm labor markets, helped convince the
Fed to raise rates in June. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan went on to
warn in his semiannual Humphrey-Hawkins testimony before Congress that
productivity could slip, leading to inflation in the form of higher
unit labor costs. In the third quarter, stronger-than-expected job
growth and higher-than-expected average hourly earnings encouraged the
Fed to implement a rate hike in August. Third-quarter real GDP - gross
domestic product adjusted for inflation - significantly exceeded
expectations. A rise in the price deflator - a measure of inflation's
effect on prices - and an upward trend in oil prices further increased
fears that inflation would emerge. In response, the Fed once again
raised short-term interest rates in November. As we closed out 1999,
positive holiday retail sales reports raised concerns that excessive
consumer demand could prompt the Fed to raise rates again in early
2000.
Q. WHAT STRATEGY DID YOU PURSUE WITH THE FUND?
A. During the period, worries over the potential impact of unforeseen
Y2K computer bug problems caused yields on securities maturing shortly
after the turn of the year to trade at a premium. As the money market
yield curve - a representation of the yield difference between short-
and long-term money market securities - steepened and yields on
longer-maturity securities priced in the possibility of higher rates,
I added to the fund's longer-term positions. For much of the period,
anticipated changes in Fed monetary policy caused Treasury and
mortgage repurchase agreements to become relatively expensive. As a
result, I increased the fund's exposure to short-term deposits. In the
second half of the year - keeping with expectations for higher
short-term interest rates - I let the fund's average maturity decline
to take advantage of higher rates as they emerged. In order to do so,
I increased the fund's investments in variable-rate securities, whose
yields are reset in response to changes in market yields.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm positioning the fund for potentially higher interest rates in
2000. Market consensus, as quantified by the futures market, currently
calls for a 0.25% increase in the fed funds rate when the Fed meets at
the beginning of February. It's also possible we might see the Fed
bump up rates again at its subsequent meetings, including the one in
March. Reflecting my expectation for higher rates, I'll likely keep
the fund's average maturity relatively short in order to maximize
investment flexibility. At the same time, should longer-term money
market securities offer attractive risk-adjusted returns, I may look
to opportunistically add positions in securities with longer-term
maturities.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
The Money Market Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Equity-Income
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio, and Overseas Portfolio (the funds) are
funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund. Investment Grade Bond
Portfolio, Asset Manager Portfolio, Asset Manager: Growth Portfolio,
Index 500 Portfolio, and Contrafund Portfolio (the funds) are funds of
Variable Insurance Products Fund II. Balanced Portfolio, Growth &
Income Portfolio, Growth Opportunities Portfolio and Mid Cap Portfolio
(the funds) are funds of Variable Insurance Products Fund III. The
Variable Insurance Products Fund, Variable Insurance Products Fund II
and Variable Insurance Products Fund III (the trusts) (referred to in
this report as Fidelity Variable Insurance Products) are registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act),
as open-end management investment companies organized as Massachusetts
business trusts. Each fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number
of shares. Shares of each fund may only be purchased by insurance
companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life
insurance contracts. Each fund except the Money Market Portfolio,
Index 500 Portfolio and Investment Grade Portfolio offers two classes
of shares: the funds' original class of shares (Initial Class shares)
and Service Class shares. Both classes have equal rights and voting
privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment
income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common
expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if
any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund.
Each class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan. On
October 14, 1999, the Board of Trustees approved the creation of
Service Class 2, a new class of shares of each fund. The Service Class
2 shares of each fund will be subject to an annual distribution and
service fee of .25% of each class' average net assets. Service Class 2
shares of each fund are expected to be available on or about January
12, 2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the funds:
SECURITY VALUATION:
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO. 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.
INVESTMENT GRADE BOND PORTFOLIO. Securities are valued based upon a
computerized matrix system and/or appraisals by a pricing service,
both of which consider market transactions and dealer-supplied
valuations. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under
the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
HIGH INCOME, ASSET MANAGER AND BALANCED PORTFOLIOS. Equity securities
for which quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale
price, or if no sale price, at the closing bid price. Foreign equity
securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in
which such securities are normally traded. If trading or events
occurring in other markets after the close of the principal market in
which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of the
business of the fund, are expected to materially affect the value of
those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking this
trading or these events into account. Fair value is determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Debt securities for which
quotations are readily available are valued by a pricing service at
their market values as determined by their most recent bid prices in
the principal market (sales prices if the principal market is an
exchange) in which such securities are normally traded. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not
readily available are valued at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH, EQUITY-INCOME, GROWTH & INCOME, INDEX 500,
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES, CONTRAFUND, GROWTH AND MID CAP PORTFOLIOS.
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. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the
principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If
trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the
principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before
the close of the business of the fund, are expected to materially
affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their
fair value taking this trading or these events into account. Fair
value is determined in good faith under consistently applied
procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.
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. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO. Securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at
the closing bid price in the principal market in which such securities
are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets
after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded
are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then
they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these
events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the funds 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 prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, each fund is not subject to
U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. Each fund
may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments
which are accrued based upon each fund's understanding of the tax
rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.
Foreign governments may also impose taxes on other payments or
transactions with respect to foreign securities. Each fund accrues
such taxes as applicable. The schedules of investments include
information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income Tax
Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME:
MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO Interest income, which includes amortization of
premium and accretion of discount, is accrued as earned.
INVESTMENT GRADE BOND, HIGH INCOME, ASSET MANAGER, BALANCED, ASSET
MANAGER: GROWTH, EQUITY-INCOME, GROWTH & INCOME, INDEX 500, GROWTH
OPPORTUNITIES, CONTRAFUND, GROWTH, MID CAP AND OVERSEAS PORTFOLIOS.
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. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if
any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received.
Interest income, which includes accretion of original issue discount,
is accrued as earned. Certain funds may place a debt obligation on
non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing
current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the
collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based
on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of
the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from
non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when
collectibility of interest is reasonably assured. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of each trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds.
Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income for the Money Market Portfolio.
Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date for all other
funds. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are declared
separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, paydown gains/losses on certain
securities, futures transactions, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount,
partnerships, non-taxable dividends, net operating losses, capital
loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales. Certain
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.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. Certain funds use foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), certain funds, along
with other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research
Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more
joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the funds, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the funds' investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the funds may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the funds are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
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. Information regarding each fund's participation
in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at
the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS. Each fund may purchase or sell
securities on a delayed delivery basis. Payment and delivery may take
place after the customary settlement period for that security. The
price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities
will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction
is negotiated. The market values of the securities purchased on a
delayed delivery basis are identified as such in each applicable
fund's schedule of investments. Each fund may receive compensation for
interest forgone in the purchase of a delayed delivery security. With
respect to purchase commitments, each fund identifies securities as
segregated in its records with a value at least equal to the amount of
the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of
the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform
under the contract.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. Certain funds may use futures contracts to manage
their exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency
values. Buying futures tends to increase a fund's exposure to the
underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a
fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund
investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of
loss in excess of the futures variation margin reflected in each
applicable fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The underlying
face amount at value of any open futures contracts at period end is
shown in each applicable fund's schedule of investments under the
caption "Futures Contracts." This amount reflects each contract's
exposure to the underlying instrument at period end. Losses may arise
from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the
counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains
(losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures
contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price
established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they
are traded.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. Certain funds are permitted to invest in
securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on
resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are
registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming
negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may
be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included
at the end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. Certain funds are permitted
to invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other
receivables. These investments may include standby financing
commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the
borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency
of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. At the end of the
period, these investments for High Income Portfolio amounted to
$21,673,533 or 0.8% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities) and the market value of future contracts opened
and closed, is included under the caption "Other Information" at the
end of each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As each fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee.
For the Money Market Portfolio, FMR receives a monthly fee that is
calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual
fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund and an
income-based fee. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to
.3700% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .03%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The
income-based fee is added only when the fund's gross yield exceeds 5%.
At that time the income-based 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 .24% of average net
assets. For the period, the total management fee was equivalent to an
annual rate of .18%. The income-based portion of this fee was equal to
$347,858, or an annual rate of .02% of the fund's average net assets.
For the Index 500 Portfolio, FMR receives a fee that is computed daily
at an annual rate of .24% of the fund's average net assets.
For all other funds, FMR receives a monthly fee that 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 and is based on the monthly
average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates
ranged from .0920% to .3700% for the period for the Investment Grade
Bond and High Income Portfolios and .2167% to .5200% for the period
for the Asset Manager, Balanced, Asset Manager: Growth, Equity-Income,
Growth & Income, Growth Opportunities, Contrafund, Growth, Mid Cap and
Overseas Portfolios for the period. The annual individual fund fee
rate is .30% for Investment Grade Bond, Asset Manager: Growth, Growth
Opportunities, Contrafund, Growth and Mid Cap, .45% for High Income
and Overseas, .25% for Asset Manager, .15% for Balanced, and .20% for
Equity-Income and Growth & Income Portfolios. In the event that these
rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee.
For the period, each fund's management fee was equivalent to the
following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net
assets:
Money Market .18%
Investment Grade Bond .43%
High Income .58%
Asset Manager .53%
Balanced .43%
Asset Manager: Growth .58%
Equity-Income .48%
Growth & Income .48%
Index 500 .24%
Growth Opportunities .58%
Contrafund .58%
Growth .58%
Mid Cap .57%
Overseas .73%
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the Money Market and Investment Grade Bond
(effective January 1, 1999) Portfolios' investment sub-adviser,
Fidelity Investments Money Management, 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.
FMR, on behalf of the Overseas Portfolio, entered into sub-advisory
agreements with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity
Management & Research (Far East) Inc., and Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (FIIA). In addition, FIIA entered into a
sub-advisory agreement with its subsidiary, Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Under the
sub-advisory arrangements, FMR may receive investment advice and
research services and may grant the sub-advisers investment management
authority to buy and sell securities. FMR pays its sub-advisers either
a portion of its management fee or a fee based on costs incurred for
these services. FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L a fee based on costs incurred
for either service.
FMR and Index 500 Portfolio entered into a sub-advisory agreement with
Bankers Trust Company (Bankers Trust). Bankers Trust receives a
sub-advisory fee for providing investment management and custodial
services to the fund. For these services, FMR pays Bankers Trust fees
at an annual rate of 0.006% of the fund's average net assets. Prior to
October 1, 1999, the sub-advisory fee included
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
SUB-ADVISER FEE - CONTINUED
fees for securities lending. Under this arrangement the fund paid
Bankers Trust fees equal to 40% of net income from the fund's
securities lending program. For the period, the fund paid Bankers
Trust $125,216 under this arrangement.
Effective October 1, 1999 Index 500 Portfolio entered into a separate
securities lending agreement with Bankers Trust. Under the new
securities lending agreement the fund receives at least 70% of net
income from the securities lending program. Bankers Trust will retain
no more than 30% of net income under this agreement. For the period,
Bankers Trust retained $79,914. In addition, shareholders approved a
"manager-of-managers" arrangement, which will allow FMR, with the
approval of the Board of Trustees to hire, terminate, or replace
sub-advisers, and to modify material terms and conditions of the
sub-advisory agreement (including the fees payable thereunder) for the
fund without shareholders approval. The implementation of this
"manager-of-managers" structure, however, is pending an exemptive
order from the SEC.
On March 11, 1999, Bankers Trust announced that it had reached an
agreement with the United States Attorney's Office in the Southern
District of New York to resolve an investigation concerning
inappropriate transfers of unclaimed funds and related recordkeeping
problems that occurred between 1994 and early 1996. Pursuant to its
agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, Bankers Trust pleaded
guilty to misstating entries in the bank's books and records and
agreed to pay a $60 million fine to federal authorities. On July 26,
1999, Bankers Trust was formally sentenced in United States District
Court to pay the $60 million fine. Separately, Bankers Trust has
agreed to pay a $3.5 million fine to the State of New York. The events
leading up to the guilty plea and formal sentence did not arise out of
the investment advisory or mutual fund management activities of
Bankers Trust or its affiliates.
As a result of the plea and subsequent sentence, absent an order from
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Bankers Trust would not
be able to continue to provide investment advisory services to the
funds. The SEC has granted a temporary order to permit Bankers Trust
and its affiliates to continue to provide investment advisory services
to registered investment companies. There is no assurance that the SEC
will grant a permanent order.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan for the Service Class of shares (the Plan). Under the Plan, the
class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a 12b-1 fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of
Service Class average net assets. Initial Class shares are not subject
to a 12b-1 fee.
For the period, Service Class paid FDC the following amounts, all of
which were reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of
shares and providing shareholder support services:
HIGH INCOME $ 187,615
ASSET MANAGER 14,423
BALANCED 18,312
ASSET MANAGER: GROWTH 6,803
EQUITY-INCOME 335,256
GROWTH & INCOME 41,594
GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES 244,429
CONTRAFUND 353,057
GROWTH 403,810
MID CAP 3,806
OVERSEAS 66,278
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investment Institutional Operations
Company (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the funds' transfer, dividend
disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives account
fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type
of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to the
typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy
statements.
For the period, each fund's transfer agent fees were equivalent to the
following annual rates expressed as a percentage of average net
assets:
Money Market, Investment Grade Bond, High Income,
Asset Manager, Balanced, Asset Manager: Growth,
Equity-Income, Growth & Income, Index 500,
Growth Opportunities, Contrafund, Growth and
Overseas .07%
Mid Cap .09%
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains each fund's accounting records
and administers the 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.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
SEC, the Money Market Portfolio, along with other money market funds
advised by FMR or its affiliates, has entered into insurance
agreements with FIDFUNDS Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an affiliated
mutual insurance company, effective January 1, 1999. FIDFUNDS provides
limited coverage for certain loss events including issuer default as
to payment of principal or interest and bankruptcy or insolvency of a
credit enhancement provider. The insurance does not cover losses
resulting from changes in interest rates, ratings downgrades or other
market conditions. The fund may be subject to a special assessment of
up to approximately 2.5 times the fund's annual gross premium if
covered losses exceed certain levels. During the period, the fund paid
premiums of $71,105 to FIDFUNDS, which are being amortized over one
year.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. Certain funds placed a portion of their
portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of
FMR. The Index 500 Portfolio also placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of Bankers
Trust. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under
the caption "Other Information" at the end of each applicable fund's
schedule of investments.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
Certain funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to
earn additional income. Each applicable fund receives collateral in
the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash
against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount
not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during
the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is
determined at the close of business of the funds and any additional
required collateral is delivered to the funds on the next business
day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the
securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund could
experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in
gaining access to the collateral. Information regarding the value of
securities loaned and the value of collateral at period end is
included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each
applicable fund's schedule of investments.
6. BANK BORROWINGS.
Each fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Each fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. Information regarding a fund's participation in the program
is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of each
applicable fund's schedule of investments.
7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Index 500 Portfolio's operating
expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions,
extraordinary expenses and sub-advisory fees paid by the fund
associated with securities lending) above an annual rate of .28% of
average net assets.
FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Mid Cap Portfolio's operating
expenses (excluding interest, taxes, securities lending fees,
brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, if any) above the
annual rates of 1.00% and 1.10% of the average net assets for the
Initial Class and Service Class, respectively.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of certain funds' expenses.
In addition, through arrangements with certain funds' custodians,
credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to
reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. For the period,
the reductions under these arrangements are shown under the caption
"Other Information" on each applicable fund's Statement of Operations.
8. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners
of more than 5% of the outstanding shares, and certain unaffiliated
insurance companies were record owners of 10% or more of the total
outstanding shares of the following funds:

with affiliated companies is included under "Legend" at the end of
each applicable fund's schedule of investments.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund and the
Shareholders of Money Market Portfolio, High Income Portfolio,
Equity-Income Portfolio, Growth Portfolio and Overseas Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities,
including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Money Market Portfolio, High Income Portfolio, Equity-Income
Portfolio, Growth Portfolio and Overseas Portfolio (funds of Variable
Insurance Products Fund) at December 31, 1999, and the results of
their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial
highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting

statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as

conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable

misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at December 31, 1999 by correspondence with the
custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion
expressed above.

PERFORMANCE
To measure a money market fund's performance, you can look at either
total return or yield. Total return reflects the change in value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). 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 ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
1999
FIDELITY VIP: MONEY MARKET 5.17% 5.48% 5.28%
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had achieved that return
by performing at a constant rate each year.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
A money market fund's total returns and yields will vary, and reflect
past results rather than predict future performance.

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. You can compare these yields to the bank
money market deposit account (MMDA) average. The MMDA average is
supplied by BANK RATE MONITOR.(trademark)
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.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Robert Duby)
An interview with Robert Duby, Portfolio Manager of Money Market
Portfolio
Q. BOB, WHAT WAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT LIKE DURING 1999?
A. Strong economic growth and the Federal Reserve Board's decision to
raise short-term interest rates pushed the general level of interest
rates higher during 1999. The Fed raised the rate banks charge each
other for overnight loans - known as the fed funds rate - three times
during the year - in June, August and November - so that it stood at
5.50% at the end of the period. By doing so, the Fed took back the
three rate cuts it implemented in late 1998 to stave off a global
credit crunch that was crippling the markets at that time. The overall
increase in interest rates was linked to strong domestic economic
growth as evidenced by the lowest unemployment rate in nearly 30
years.
Q. WHY WAS U.S. ECONOMIC GROWTH SO STRONG?
A. Growth was spurred by personal consumption, business investment and
the housing market. Rising stock and real estate prices created a
wealth effect that spurred consumer spending - a significant component
of the gross domestic product (GDP) - to the point where it exceeded
personal income and resulted in a negative savings rate. While
commodity prices increased on the heels of a global economic recovery,
there were no significant increases in producer or consumer prices;
gains in productivity kept inflation in check.
Q. THEN WHY DID THE FED RAISE RATES?
A. Continued strong GDP growth, coupled with concerns about the impact
of wage pressures in already-firm labor markets, helped convince the
Fed to raise rates in June. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan went on to
warn in his semiannual Humphrey-Hawkins testimony before Congress that
productivity could slip, leading to inflation in the form of higher
unit labor costs. In the third quarter, stronger-than-expected job
growth and higher-than-expected average hourly earnings encouraged the
Fed to implement a rate hike in August. Third-quarter real GDP - gross
domestic product adjusted for inflation - significantly exceeded
expectations. A rise in the price deflator - a measure of inflation's
effect on prices - and an upward trend in oil prices further increased
fears that inflation would emerge. In response, the Fed once again
raised short-term interest rates in November. As we closed out 1999,
positive holiday retail sales reports raised concerns that excessive
consumer demand could prompt the Fed to raise rates again in early
2000.
Q. WHAT STRATEGY DID YOU PURSUE WITH THE FUND?
A. During the period, worries over the potential impact of unforeseen
Y2K computer bug problems caused yields on securities maturing shortly
after the turn of the year to trade at a premium. As the money market
yield curve - a representation of the yield difference between short-
and long-term money market securities - steepened and yields on
longer-maturity securities priced in the possibility of higher rates,
I added to the fund's longer-term positions. For much of the period,
anticipated changes in Fed monetary policy caused Treasury and
mortgage repurchase agreements to become relatively expensive. As a
result, I increased the fund's exposure to short-term deposits. In the
second half of the year - keeping with expectations for higher
short-term interest rates - I let the fund's average maturity decline
to take advantage of higher rates as they emerged. In order to do so,
I increased the fund's investments in variable-rate securities, whose
yields are reset in response to changes in market yields.
Q. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I'm positioning the fund for potentially higher interest rates in
2000. Market consensus, as quantified by the futures market, currently
calls for a 0.25% increase in the fed funds rate when the Fed meets at
the beginning of February. It's also possible we might see the Fed
bump up rates again at its subsequent meetings, including the one in
March. Reflecting my expectation for higher rates, I'll likely keep
the fund's average maturity relatively short in order to maximize
investment flexibility. At the same time, should longer-term money
market securities offer attractive risk-adjusted returns, I may look
to opportunistically add positions in securities with longer-term
maturities.

insurance contracts. On October 14, 1999, the Board of Trustees
approved the creation of Service Class 2, a new class of shares of the
fund. The Service Class 2 shares will be subject to an annual
distribution and service fee of .25% of the class' average net assets.
These shares are expected to be available on or about January 12,
2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. 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.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INTEREST INCOME. 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
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends are declared daily and paid
monthly from net interest income.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A
issues) amounted to $47,000,000 or 2.4% of net assets.
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. For the fund, FMR receives a monthly fee that is
calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed individual
fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund and an
income-based fee. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a
series of rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to
.3700% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .03%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The
income-based fee is added only when the fund's gross yield exceeds 5%.
At that time the income-based 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 .24% of average net
assets. For the period, the total management fee was equivalent to an
annual rate of .18%. The income-based portion of this fee was equal to
$347,858, or an annual rate of .02% of the fund's average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. As the fund's investment sub-adviser, Fidelity
Investments Money Management, 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.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees have adopted a Distribution and
Service Plan (the Plan) on behalf of the fund. Under the Plan, FMR may
use its resources to pay administrative and promotional expenses
related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to the approval of
the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to third
parties that assist in the sale of fund shares or render shareholder
support services.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size
and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to
3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements.
For the period, the transfer agent fees of the fund were equivalent to
an annual rate of .07% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc., an affiliate of FMR,
maintains the fund's accounting records. The fee is based on the level
of average net assets for the month plus out-of-pocket expenses.
MONEY MARKET INSURANCE. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
the SEC, the fund, along with other money market funds advised by FMR
or its affiliates, has entered into insurance agreements with FIDFUNDS
Mutual Limited (FIDFUNDS), an affiliated mutual insurance company,
effective January 1, 1999. FIDFUNDS provides limited coverage for
certain loss events including issuer default as to payment of
principal or interest and bankruptcy or insolvency of a credit
enhancement provider. The insurance does not cover losses resulting
from changes in interest rates, ratings downgrades or other market
conditions. The fund may be subject to a special assessment of up to
approximately 2.5 times the fund's annual gross premium if covered
losses exceed certain levels. During the period, the fund paid
premiums of $71,105 to FIDFUNDS, which are being amortized over one
year.
4. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
Through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits realized as
a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of
the fund's expenses. For the period, the reductions under this
arrangement are shown under the caption "Other Information" on the
fund's Statement of Operations.
5. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners of
approximately 53% of the outstanding shares of the fund.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund and the
Shareholders of Money Market Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Money Market Portfolio (a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund) at
December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Money Market Portfolio's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, 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 at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Entering the final year of the 20th century, popular U.S. equity
market indexes had just posted an unprecedented four consecutive years
of double-digit annual returns, while domestic bonds also enjoyed
relatively strong increases. The international story entering 1999,
however, was less positive. In general - with the exception of
European issues - international equities and bonds were greatly
disappointing. Asian and Russian economies had fallen into disarray,
Japan was struggling to implement banking reforms, and emerging
markets were plagued by a host of currency devaluations, loan defaults
and dismal credit outlooks. So who would have thought, just one year
later, that Japan, Russia and emerging markets would be three of
1999's best-performing investments? U.S. equities also continued to
chug along in 1999, extending their indexes' streak of consecutive
double-digit annual increases to five. The stock market was not
without its problems, however. Extremely narrow market breadth,
soaring valuations and rising interest rates - not to mention Y2K -
left many investors unsettled about the prospects for equities
entering the new millennium. Domestic fixed-income alternatives,
meanwhile, fared poorly in 1999 relative to the year prior.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
In a word, technology was the primary driver of equity market
performance in 1999. While telecommunications, particularly the
wireless segment of the industry, also performed well, nothing
dominated like technology. This incredibly narrow market breadth was
illustrated by the technology-laden NASDAQ Index. Its return of 86.12%
for the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, was the all-time
highest annual return for any major U.S. stock index. Broader indexes,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM, generated much lower returns, but
were still significantly affected by tech's presence. For example,
technology was responsible for approximately 70% of the S&P 500's
12-month return of 21.04%, the index's fifth consecutive annual gain
above 20%. The top 50 stocks in the S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty
50," many of which were technology shares - accounted for 115% of its
total return. Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks fell 3.13%. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - posted a
27.13% return during the period, its fifth consecutive double-digit
annual return. Despite the strong numbers of these indexes, more
stocks fell than rose in 1999. Growth stocks continued to hammer their
value-oriented peers. But in a turnaround from previous years, mid-
and small-cap growth stocks performed better than their large-cap
brethren did. Conversely, mid-and small-cap value issues posted
negative overall returns in 1999.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Similar to the domestic equity markets, technology and - perhaps to an
even greater degree than in the U.S. - telecommunications led the
charge in the vastly improved international equity markets. The
recovery of the Japanese stock market in 1999 was nothing short of
remarkable. A renewed emphasis on corporate restructuring and
shareholder value - combined with the Japanese government's
willingness to create more of a free-enterprise market system - proved
wildly successful. For the period, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Japan Index returned 61.53% and Japan's TOPIX Index was
up 75.89%. While Canadian equity markets didn't get nearly the
attention of their U.S. neighbors, their performance was a great deal
better than the broader American indexes, as the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) 300 returned 39.34% for the 12-month period ending
December 31, 1999. Despite a strong surge in December, European
markets offered mixed results over the past 12 months. In that time,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a
relatively tame - at least, in comparison to other developed nations'
stock markets - one-year return of 16.16%.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
Fueled by robust economic growth and a tighter monetary policy,
interest rates moved sharply higher, causing most domestic bonds to
struggle throughout the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a popular measure of
taxable-bond performance, fell 0.82% during the period. Treasury
prices had the toughest time of it, falling in response to three
quarter-point interest-rate hikes levied by the Federal Reserve Board,
which erased all of 1998's rate cuts. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Treasury Index plunged 8.74% in 1999. Nor were corporate bonds, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, immune from the
fixed-income fade during the year, falling 1.96%. Government agency
securities also fell into negative territory for the year, as the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index fell 0.94%. There were a few bright
spots, however. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.51% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index was
up 1.86%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Emerging markets stood as one of the best-performing asset classes in
1999. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the JP Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus was up 25.97%. A year ago, that same
index closed 1998 with a negative 14.35% annual return. A variety of
factors sparked their recovery, including rising commodity prices,
particularly oil; the continuation of a strong U.S. economy;
stable-to-lower interest rates; tame inflation; and greater political
stability. Russia was perhaps the year's biggest comeback story.
Devastated by its devaluation of the ruble and loan defaults in 1998,
Russia steadily demonstrated strong technical improvements that made
it the best-performing country in the index in 1999. Both Brazil and
Mexico enjoyed relatively low inflation and improved economies. Turkey
was the best-performing emerging-market country in December, as the
government's reform plans, IMF financial support, and the announcement
that it would be accepted in the European Union all boosted the
country's prospects. Elsewhere, outside of positive performing
Canadian and Japanese issues - beneficiaries of strong local
currencies - higher rates proved insurmountable for most non-U.S.
developed markets, which produced negative returns in local currency
terms. A markedly weak euro, coupled with firming supply pressures,
felled bond prices in Germany, France and Italy. The Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index fell 5.07% in 1999.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

MSCI EAFE 27.22% 12.98% 7.08%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Morgan
Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE)
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to
represent the performance of developed stock markets outside the
United States and Canada. As of December 31, 1999, the index included
over 1,000 equity securities of companies domiciled in 21 countries.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. Foreign investments involve greater risks and
potential rewards than U.S. investments. These risks include political
and economic uncertainties of foreign countries, as well as the risk
of currency fluctuations.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
Many markets around the globe offer the
potential for significant growth over time;
however, investing in foreign markets means
assuming greater risks than investing in the
United States. Factors like changes in a country's
financial markets, its local political and
economic climate, and the fluctuating value of
its currency create these risks. For these reasons
an international fund's performance may be
more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively
in the United States.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio
on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $29,510 - a 195.10%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $19,825 - a 98.25% increase.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Richard Mace)
An interview with
Richard Mace,
Portfolio Manager of Overseas Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, RICK?
A. For the 12 months that ended December 31, 1999, the fund easily
outpaced the 27.22% return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International
Europe, Australasia, Far East (EAFE) Index.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUND'S STRONG SHOWING?
A. Most of the fund's outperformance can be traced to a relatively
strong commitment to the high-performing Japanese market, as well as
from good individual stock picking within that market. The fund also
benefited from the solid performance of several of its energy-related
positions.
Q. WHAT TRIGGERED THE JAPANESE MARKET'S REBOUND AND HOW DID THE FUND
TAKE ADVANTAGE?
A. The Japanese market became somewhat more "Americanized" over the
past year. The government has allowed some barriers to come down to
create more of a free-enterprise market system, and Japanese
corporations - following in the footsteps of their U.S. counterparts -
have begun to implement share buyback programs, cut unprofitable
businesses and consider effective restructuring programs. Japanese
investors, in fact, can now buy mutual funds. All of this has
translated into a more confident market and economy, and the fund took
advantage. Several of the fund's Japanese telephone utilities
positions fared well, particularly DDI Corp., which was among the
fund's top holdings through the second half of the period. Japanese
non-bank financial positions also performed well, including
brokerage-related holdings such as Daiwa Securities and Nikko
Securities.
Q. CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THE ENERGY POSITIONS YOU MENTIONED?
A. Sure. The fund's best performers in this group were the two large
French exploration firms, Elf Aquitaine and Total. Both stocks suited
my philosophy that it's better to look for energy stocks with good
long-term characteristics than focus on trying to guess the direction
of oil prices. In particular, I was attracted to Elf's growing oil
reserve base, which should kick into production growth in 2001. Total
intrigued me because of its rapid 10% production growth rate. I looked
at both stocks as a package: One had current production growth, while
the other looked promising long-term. In addition, both companies
engaged in a spirited takeover battle during the period, with each
making takeover bids for the other. Eventually, the issue was resolved
and a merger was approved. Overall, I think the merger - which makes
Total the fourth-largest oil company in the world - should be
beneficial to both companies. Elf Aquitaine is no longer a publicly
traded stock.
Q. THE FUND ALSO RECEIVED GOOD RESULTS FROM SEVERAL OF ITS
TELECOMMUNICATIONS-RELATED STOCKS, MOST NOTABLY FINLAND'S NOKIA,
SWEDEN'S ERICSSON AND THE U.K.'S VODAFONE AIRTOUCH . . .
A. These companies were beneficiaries of the worldwide wireless
communications boom. Nokia and Ericsson - both longstanding positions
in the fund - showed strong management execution during the period
and generated good financial returns in the process. Vodafone
AirTouch, meanwhile, benefited from its strong presence in the
burgeoning U.K. market as well as from its announcement that it would
merge its mobile communications business with U.S.-based Bell
Atlantic. The Vodafone-Bell Atlantic partnership is but another
example of the cross-border alliances that have fueled telecom
business around the globe.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WOULD YOU CLASSIFY AS DISAPPOINTING?
A. Rentokil - which provides a variety of industrial-related services
for corporations - detracted significantly from performance due to a
strong British pound. A slump in sales growth, particularly in Asia,
also hurt. European consumer-related stocks - such as Swiss foods
company Nestle and Anglo-Dutch household products company Unilever -
suffered from sluggish global demand. The fund's Italian positions
also proved to be a weak link. Telecom Italia Mobile struggled, as did
bank stocks Banca di Roma and San Paolo-IMI, and insurer Generali SPA.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. I expect to see more of the same in terms of increased
consolidation and cross-border mergers. The euro - the uniform
currency in Europe - has made it much easier to complete such
transactions. As big companies have become bigger, many smaller firms
have jumped into the fray just to keep pace. We may also see continued
restructuring efforts in Europe and Japan. As a result, there should
be greater differentiation of stocks away from the influences of their
local markets and more towards the earnings and underlying
fundamentals of the company itself.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Overseas Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products
Fund (the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable
Insurance Products: Overseas Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance
companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life
insurance contracts. The fund offers two classes of shares: the fund's
original class of shares (Initial Class shares) and Service Class
shares. Both classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except
for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution plan. On October 14, 1999, the
Board of Trustees approved the creation of Service Class 2, a new
class of shares of the fund. The Service Class 2 shares will be
subject to an annual distribution and service fee of .25% of the
class' average net assets. These shares are expected to be available
on or about January 12, 2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at
the closing bid price in the principal market in which such securities
are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets
after the close of the principal market in which securities are traded
are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then
they are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these
events into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the 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 prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes
substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The fund
may be subject to foreign taxes on income and gains on investments
which are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules
and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests. Foreign
governments may also impose taxes on other payments or transactions
with respect to foreign securities. The fund accrues such taxes as
applicable. The schedule of investments includes information regarding
income taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. 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 fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
differing treatments for futures transactions, foreign currency
transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), non-taxable
dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales.
The fund 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.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
FUTURES CONTRACTS. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its
exposure to the stock market and to fluctuations in currency values.
Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying
instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's
exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments.
Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess
of the futures variation margin reflected in the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities. The underlying face amount at value of any open
futures contracts at period end is shown in the schedule of
investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." This amount
reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument at
period end. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the
underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under
the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration
or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at
the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
Information regarding restricted securities is included under the
caption "Legend" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities) and the market value of future contracts opened
and closed, is included under the caption "Other Information" at the
end of the fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
implemented the above rates, as they resulted in the same or a lower
management fee. For the period, the management fee was equivalent to
an annual rate of .73% of average net assets.
SUB-ADVISER FEE. FMR, on behalf of the fund, entered into sub-advisory
agreements with Fidelity Management & Research (U.K.) Inc., Fidelity
Management & Research (Far East) Inc., and Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (FIIA). In addition, FIIA entered into a
sub-advisory agreement with its subsidiary, Fidelity International
Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Under the
sub-advisory arrangements, FMR may receive investment advice and
research services and may grant the sub-advisers investment management
authority to buy and sell securities. FMR pays its sub-advisers either
a portion of its management fee or a fee based on costs incurred for
these services. FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L a fee based on costs incurred
for either service.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan for the Service Class (the Plan) of shares. Under the Plan, the
class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a 12b-1 fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of
Service Class average net assets. Initial Class shares are not subject
to a 12b-1 fee.
For the period, Service Class paid FDC $66,278, all of which was
reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and
providing shareholder support services.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size
and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to
the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of
the fund were equivalent to an annual rate of .07% of average net
assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records
and administers the 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.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The 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" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash against the loaned
securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of
the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the
loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the
close of business of the fund and any additional required collateral
is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the borrower
defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of
insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience delays and
costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the
collateral. Information regarding the value of securities loaned and
the value of collateral at period end is included under the caption
"Other Information" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the reductions under
these arrangements are shown under the caption "Other Information" on
the fund's Statement of Operations.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners
of approximately 14% of the outstanding shares of the fund. In
addition, one unaffiliated insurance company was record owner of 35%
of the total outstanding shares of the fund.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Entering the final year of the 20th century, popular U.S. equity
market indexes had just posted an unprecedented four consecutive years
of double-digit annual returns, while domestic bonds also enjoyed
relatively strong increases. The international story entering 1999,
however, was less positive. In general - with the exception of
European issues - international equities and bonds were greatly
disappointing. Asian and Russian economies had fallen into disarray,
Japan was struggling to implement banking reforms, and emerging
markets were plagued by a host of currency devaluations, loan defaults
and dismal credit outlooks. So who would have thought, just one year
later, that Japan, Russia and emerging markets would be three of
1999's best-performing investments? U.S. equities also continued to
chug along in 1999, extending their indexes' streak of consecutive
double-digit annual increases to five. The stock market was not
without its problems, however. Extremely narrow market breadth,
soaring valuations and rising interest rates - not to mention Y2K -
left many investors unsettled about the prospects for equities
entering the new millennium. Domestic fixed-income alternatives,
meanwhile, fared poorly in 1999 relative to the year prior.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
In a word, technology was the primary driver of equity market
performance in 1999. While telecommunications, particularly the
wireless segment of the industry, also performed well, nothing
dominated like technology. This incredibly narrow market breadth was
illustrated by the technology-laden NASDAQ Index. Its return of 86.12%
for the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, was the all-time
highest annual return for any major U.S. stock index. Broader indexes,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM, generated much lower returns, but
were still significantly affected by tech's presence. For example,
technology was responsible for approximately 70% of the S&P 500's
12-month return of 21.04%, the index's fifth consecutive annual gain
above 20%. The top 50 stocks in the S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty
50," many of which were technology shares - accounted for 115% of its
total return. Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks fell 3.13%. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - posted a
27.13% return during the period, its fifth consecutive double-digit
annual return. Despite the strong numbers of these indexes, more
stocks fell than rose in 1999. Growth stocks continued to hammer their
value-oriented peers. But in a turnaround from previous years, mid-
and small-cap growth stocks performed better than their large-cap
brethren did. Conversely, mid-and small-cap value issues posted
negative overall returns in 1999.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Similar to the domestic equity markets, technology and - perhaps to an
even greater degree than in the U.S. - telecommunications led the
charge in the vastly improved international equity markets. The
recovery of the Japanese stock market in 1999 was nothing short of
remarkable. A renewed emphasis on corporate restructuring and
shareholder value - combined with the Japanese government's
willingness to create more of a free-enterprise market system - proved
wildly successful. For the period, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Japan Index returned 61.53% and Japan's TOPIX Index was
up 75.89%. While Canadian equity markets didn't get nearly the
attention of their U.S. neighbors, their performance was a great deal
better than the broader American indexes, as the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) 300 returned 39.34% for the 12-month period ending
December 31, 1999. Despite a strong surge in December, European
markets offered mixed results over the past 12 months. In that time,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a
relatively tame - at least, in comparison to other developed nations'
stock markets - one-year return of 16.16%.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
Fueled by robust economic growth and a tighter monetary policy,
interest rates moved sharply higher, causing most domestic bonds to
struggle throughout the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a popular measure of
taxable-bond performance, fell 0.82% during the period. Treasury
prices had the toughest time of it, falling in response to three
quarter-point interest-rate hikes levied by the Federal Reserve Board,
which erased all of 1998's rate cuts. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Treasury Index plunged 8.74% in 1999. Nor were corporate bonds, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, immune from the
fixed-income fade during the year, falling 1.96%. Government agency
securities also fell into negative territory for the year, as the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index fell 0.94%. There were a few bright
spots, however. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.51% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index was
up 1.86%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Emerging markets stood as one of the best-performing asset classes in
1999. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the JP Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus was up 25.97%. A year ago, that same
index closed 1998 with a negative 14.35% annual return. A variety of
factors sparked their recovery, including rising commodity prices,
particularly oil; the continuation of a strong U.S. economy;
stable-to-lower interest rates; tame inflation; and greater political
stability. Russia was perhaps the year's biggest comeback story.
Devastated by its devaluation of the ruble and loan defaults in 1998,
Russia steadily demonstrated strong technical improvements that made
it the best-performing country in the index in 1999. Both Brazil and
Mexico enjoyed relatively low inflation and improved economies. Turkey
was the best-performing emerging-market country in December, as the
government's reform plans, IMF financial support, and the announcement
that it would be accepted in the European Union all boosted the
country's prospects. Elsewhere, outside of positive performing
Canadian and Japanese issues - beneficiaries of strong local
currencies - higher rates proved insurmountable for most non-U.S.
developed markets, which produced negative returns in local currency
terms. A markedly weak euro, coupled with firming supply pressures,
felled bond prices in Germany, France and Italy. The Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index fell 5.07% in 1999.

PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

S&P 500 21.04% 28.56% 18.21%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Growth Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
growth-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations and the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. These benchmarks
reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
(checkmark)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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio on
December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31, 1999, the value
of the investment would have grown to $61,594 - a 515.94% increase on
the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Russell 3000
Growth Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 investment would have
grown to $60,360 - a 503.60% increase. Going forward, the fund will
compare its performance to that of the Russell 3000 Growth Index,
rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The Russell 3000 Growth
Index more closely reflects the fund's investment strategy.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: GROWTH PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Jennifer Uhrig)
An interview with Jennifer Uhrig,
Portfolio Manager of Growth Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, JENNIFER?
A. The fund performed well for the 12 months that ended December 31,
1999, posting a higher return than the Russell 3000 Growth Index,
which returned 33.83% during the period.
Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED THE FUND'S STRONG PERFORMANCE?
A. The fund benefited both from what it owned and what it didn't own.
If you weren't in technology stocks during the period, chances are
good that you didn't beat your benchmarks. Fortunately, the fund was
well-represented in this area, particularly among mid-
sized technology stocks in the semiconductor and storage subsectors.
Conversely, my decision to underweight consumer nondurables provided a
performance boost.
Q. IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY, CAN YOU PROVIDE A PLAY-BY-PLAY OF YOUR
INVESTING STRATEGY?
A. As we entered the period, my focus was on semiconductor-related
stocks. The economic recovery in Asia and continued strong demand in
the U.S. and Europe - especially in the communications area - led to a
very strong semiconductor market. Investments in KLA-Tencor, Teradyne
and ASM Lithography - companies that supply equipment for
semiconductor manufacturing - performed well. The fund no longer owned
KLA-Tencor nor Teradyne at the end of the period. In the second half
of the period, I began to emphasize other areas of technology,
including storage companies such as EMC, Veritas Software, Legato
Systems and Network Appliance. The amazing growth of the Internet
created huge demand for data storage, and these companies generated
terrific returns. When people think of technology, the big fish in the
pond - Microsoft, Intel, Cisco Systems - tend to come to mind. While
the fund had substantial positions in both Microsoft and Cisco at the
end of the period, I was underweighted in these larger names relative
to the index. In retrospect, it was the superior performance of the
fund's mid-cap technology stocks that made the tech sector a positive
overall contributor.
Q. WHAT OTHER STOCKS OR GROUPS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND?
A. In keeping with the information age theme, the fund's exposure to
wireless communications stocks helped significantly. Investments in
Nokia and Texas Instruments - the latter of which makes a digital chip
that goes into most cellular phones - performed well. Competitive
local exchange carriers such as McLeod, Metromedia Fiber and Nextlink
also fared nicely, as did cable TV-related position MediaOne which
announced that it was being acquired by AT&T during the period.
Q. WHICH STOCKS WOULD YOU CATEGORIZE AS DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Philip Morris continued to be a drag on performance, as the ongoing
tobacco litigation gradually took its toll. Other disappointments
included drug stock Lilly - which suffered due to slower Prozac sales
- - and Avon, which had difficulty executing its business plan at the
same time as its business weakened in Latin America. I sold off the
fund's stake in Avon prior to the end of the period.
Q. DID THE FUND HAVE ANY EXPOSURE TO THE REVITALIZED JAPANESE MARKET?
A. It did. The fund's positions in Japanese brokerage houses such as
Daiwa Securities, Nikko Securities and Nomura Securities panned out
well, as did its stake in Softbank, a dominant Internet venture
capital firm. The rebound in Japan has been driven by a modest
recovery in the economy combined with increased restructuring efforts
on the part of old-line Japanese companies. Companies are becoming
more shareholder-oriented, cutting back on non-profitable businesses
and working hard to become more efficient. It's a glacial effort, but
at least it's underway. Additionally, demographics in Japan are
positive as more people enter their prime savings years. This could be
a big plus for the stock market.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. The big question is how long the technology bubble can last. The
tech stocks that performed best during the period were overpriced by
historical measures, and it's very difficult to determine how long
this will continue. Against this backdrop, my goal is to participate
in technology where I can find relatively underappreciated ideas and
emphasize relative values. One final note on Japan: It's important to
remember that the market was very strong during the period as the
economy showed signs of life. Going forward, I think we'll see
volatility in that market as the economy moves forward in fits and
starts.

For the period ended December 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Growth Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance Products
Fund (the trust)(referred to in this report as Fidelity Variable
Insurance Products: Growth Portfolio) and is authorized to issue an
unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance
companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life
insurance contracts. The fund offers two classes of shares: the fund's
original class of shares (Initial Class shares) and Service Class
shares. Both classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except
for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution plan. On October 14, 1999, the
Board of Trustees approved the creation of Service Class 2, a new
class of shares of the fund. The Service Class 2 shares will be
subject to an annual distribution and service fee of .25% of the
class' average net assets. These shares are expected to be available
on or about January 12, 2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are
valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the 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 prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. 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 fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Investment
income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of
such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions and
losses deferred due to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities), is included under the caption "Other
Information" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .58% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan for the Service Class (the Plan) of shares. Under the Plan, the
class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a 12b-1 fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of
Service Class average net assets. Initial Class shares are not subject
to a 12b-1 fee.
For the period, Service Class paid FDC $403,810, all of which was
reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and
providing shareholder support services.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size
and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to
the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of
the fund were equivalent to an annual rate of .07% of average net
assets.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records
and administers the 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.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The 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" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. Information regarding the value
5. SECURITY LENDING - CONTINUED
of securities loaned and the value of collateral at period end is
included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the
fund's schedule of investments.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the reductions under
these arrangements are shown under the caption "Other Information" on
the fund's Statement of Operations.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners
of approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of the fund. In
addition, one unaffiliated insurance company was record owner of 29%
of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Information regarding transactions
with affiliated companies is included under "Legend" at the end of the
fund's schedule of investments.

present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Growth Portfolio (a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund) at
December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes in
its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. These financial statements and financial highlights
(hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Growth Portfolio's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States, 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 at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Entering the final year of the 20th century, popular U.S. equity
market indexes had just posted an unprecedented four consecutive years
of double-digit annual returns, while domestic bonds also enjoyed
relatively strong increases. The international story entering 1999,
however, was less positive. In general - with the exception of
European issues - international equities and bonds were greatly
disappointing. Asian and Russian economies had fallen into disarray,
Japan was struggling to implement banking reforms, and emerging
markets were plagued by a host of currency devaluations, loan defaults
and dismal credit outlooks. So who would have thought, just one year
later, that Japan, Russia and emerging markets would be three of
1999's best-performing investments? U.S. equities also continued to
chug along in 1999, extending their indexes' streak of consecutive
double-digit annual increases to five. The stock market was not
without its problems, however. Extremely narrow market breadth,
soaring valuations and rising interest rates - not to mention Y2K -
left many investors unsettled about the prospects for equities
entering the new millennium. Domestic fixed-income alternatives,
meanwhile, fared poorly in 1999 relative to the year prior.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
In a word, technology was the primary driver of equity market
performance in 1999. While telecommunications, particularly the
wireless segment of the industry, also performed well, nothing
dominated like technology. This incredibly narrow market breadth was
illustrated by the technology-laden NASDAQ Index. Its return of 86.12%
for the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, was the all-time
highest annual return for any major U.S. stock index. Broader indexes,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM, generated much lower returns, but
were still significantly affected by tech's presence. For example,
technology was responsible for approximately 70% of the S&P 500's
12-month return of 21.04%, the index's fifth consecutive annual gain
above 20%. The top 50 stocks in the S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty
50," many of which were technology shares - accounted for 115% of its
total return. Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks fell 3.13%. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - posted a
27.13% return during the period, its fifth consecutive double-digit
annual return. Despite the strong numbers of these indexes, more
stocks fell than rose in 1999. Growth stocks continued to hammer their
value-oriented peers. But in a turnaround from previous years, mid-
and small-cap growth stocks performed better than their large-cap
brethren did. Conversely, mid-and small-cap value issues posted
negative overall returns in 1999.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Similar to the domestic equity markets, technology and - perhaps to an
even greater degree than in the U.S. - telecommunications led the
charge in the vastly improved international equity markets. The
recovery of the Japanese stock market in 1999 was nothing short of
remarkable. A renewed emphasis on corporate restructuring and
shareholder value - combined with the Japanese government's
willingness to create more of a free-enterprise market system - proved
wildly successful. For the period, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Japan Index returned 61.53% and Japan's TOPIX Index was
up 75.89%. While Canadian equity markets didn't get nearly the
attention of their U.S. neighbors, their performance was a great deal
better than the broader American indexes, as the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) 300 returned 39.34% for the 12-month period ending
December 31, 1999. Despite a strong surge in December, European
markets offered mixed results over the past 12 months. In that time,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a
relatively tame - at least, in comparison to other developed nations'
stock markets - one-year return of 16.16%.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
Fueled by robust economic growth and a tighter monetary policy,
interest rates moved sharply higher, causing most domestic bonds to
struggle throughout the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a popular measure of
taxable-bond performance, fell 0.82% during the period. Treasury
prices had the toughest time of it, falling in response to three
quarter-point interest-rate hikes levied by the Federal Reserve Board,
which erased all of 1998's rate cuts. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Treasury Index plunged 8.74% in 1999. Nor were corporate bonds, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, immune from the
fixed-income fade during the year, falling 1.96%. Government agency
securities also fell into negative territory for the year, as the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index fell 0.94%. There were a few bright
spots, however. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.51% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index was
up 1.86%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Emerging markets stood as one of the best-performing asset classes in
1999. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the JP Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus was up 25.97%. A year ago, that same
index closed 1998 with a negative 14.35% annual return. A variety of
factors sparked their recovery, including rising commodity prices,
particularly oil; the continuation of a strong U.S. economy;
stable-to-lower interest rates; tame inflation; and greater political
stability. Russia was perhaps the year's biggest comeback story.
Devastated by its devaluation of the ruble and loan defaults in 1998,
Russia steadily demonstrated strong technical improvements that made
it the best-performing country in the index in 1999. Both Brazil and
Mexico enjoyed relatively low inflation and improved economies. Turkey
was the best-performing emerging-market country in December, as the
government's reform plans, IMF financial support, and the announcement
that it would be accepted in the European Union all boosted the
country's prospects. Elsewhere, outside of positive performing
Canadian and Japanese issues - beneficiaries of strong local
currencies - higher rates proved insurmountable for most non-U.S.
developed markets, which produced negative returns in local currency
terms. A markedly weak euro, coupled with firming supply pressures,
felled bond prices in Germany, France and Italy. The Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index fell 5.07% in 1999.
FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value). If Fidelity had not reimbursed certain fund
expenses, the past 10 year total returns would have been lower.

FIDELITY VIP: HIGH INCOME - 8.25% 10.90% 12.44%
"INITIAL CLASS"
ML High Yield Master II 2.51% 9.89% 11.21%
ML High Yield Master 1.57% 9.61% 10.79%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index - a market value-weighted index of
all domestic and yankee high-yield bonds, including deferred interest
bonds and payment-in-kind securities. You can also compare the fund's
returns to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master
Index - a market value-weighted index of all domestic and yankee
high-yield bonds. Issues included in both benchmarks have maturities
of one year or more and have a credit rating lower than BBB-/Baa3, but
are not in default. These benchmarks reflect the reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money. The fund includes high yielding, lower-rated
securities which are subject to greater price volatility and may
involve greater risk of default. The market for these securities may
be less liquid.
(checkmark)UNDERSTANDING PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of
how it will do tomorrow. Bond prices, for
example, generally move in the opposite direction
of interest rates. In turn, the share price, return and
yield of a fund that invests in bonds will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: High Income
Portfolio on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $32,313 - a
223.13% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index did over the same
period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same
$10,000 investment would have grown to $28,926 - a 189.26% increase.
Going forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the
Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index, rather than the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master Index. The Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II
Index contains deferred interest bonds and payment-in-kind securities
and is therefore a better representation of the high yield bond
universe.

FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO
FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Barry Coffman)
An interview with
Barry Coffman,
Portfolio Manager
of High Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BARRY?
A. For the 12-month period that ended December 31, 1999, the fund
significantly outpaced the 2.51% return of the Merrill Lynch High
Yield Master II Index.
Q. WHAT WAS THE INVESTING ENVIRONMENT LIKE DURING 1999?
A. Rising interest rates put pressure on nearly all bonds, although
high-yield securities held up reasonably well. The comparatively high
levels of income they provided helped cushion high-yield bonds against
price declines. In addition, the ongoing strength of the stock market
helped many companies with significant capital needs attract equity to
finance growth and/or de-leverage their balance sheets. That said,
this was the second year in a row that the high-yield market failed to
earn its coupon, which is unusual given how strong the economy has
been. In addition, the market was fairly volatile throughout the year,
resulting in a wide disparity of returns between the best and worst
performers. Companies that disappointed investors with
worse-than-expected results got severely punished.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND TO OUTPACE THE MERRILL LYNCH HIGH YIELD MASTER
II INDEX DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. The fund's large weighting - compared to the Merrill Lynch index -
in telecommunications companies was a major reason for its
outperformance. It was a particularly good year for companies that
provide wireless communications, including Nextel and Millicom. Nextel
continued to enjoy strong subscriber growth, raised a significant
amount of equity and received an upgrade from the rating agencies.
Millicom posted significant growth in its customer base despite
increased competition in some of the foreign markets it serves.
Elsewhere in the telecommunications industry, NEXTLINK, WinStar and
Intermedia also were strong performers. These competitive local
exchange carriers (CLECs) consistently demonstrated their ability to
add new customers at the expense of regional Bell operating companies
(RBOCs). Furthermore, NEXTLINK and WinStar attracted significant
private and public equity, which helped improve their respective
balance sheets and provided sufficient liquidity for the completion of
the build out of their networks.
Q. ASIDE FROM THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR, WHICH OF THE FUND'S
HOLDINGS WERE STANDOUTS DURING THE PAST SIX MONTHS?
A. A wave of merger and acquisition activity helped boost the cable
sector, particularly the fund's holdings in U.K.-based companies NTL
and Telewest. As virtually the only two remaining players in the
British cable industry, both companies have added new customers by
offering an attractive combination of cable, telephony and Internet
service products.
Q. WHAT MADE NEXTEL AND WINSTAR - WHICH WERE THE FUND'S TWO LARGEST
HOLDINGS AT THE END OF THE PERIOD - SO ATTRACTIVE?
A. Nextel has a truly differentiated mobile wireless product combining
dispatch (walkie-talkie), conventional cellular and now Internet
access all in one sleek handset. In 1999, Nextel made substantial
gains in adding new subscribers. Furthermore, the company began to
generate meaningful cash flow and its credit rating was upgraded
twice. In another positive development, Nextel raised a significant
amount of capital in order to fund its growth plans. WinStar provides
voice and high-speed data services primarily to small- and mid-sized
businesses. The company received a significant investment from
Microsoft, which helped validate WinStar's business plan in the minds
of many investors.
Q. WHERE WERE THE DISAPPOINTMENTS DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
A. CellNet Data, which provides wireless reading of utility meters,
was probably the biggest disappointment when the company was
unsuccessful in raising additional capital to fund its growth plans.
Another disappointment was supermarket chain Jitney-Jungle, which
filed for bankruptcy protection when it experienced increased
competitive and other pressures.
Q. WHAT FACTORS WILL SHAPE THE HIGH-YIELD MARKET'S PERFORMANCE IN
2000?
A. The strength of the economy and direction of interest rates will be
major factors in determining high-yield bond returns. I don't foresee
a U.S. recession over the near term. The future of interest rates is
less certain, although I take comfort from the fact that inflation has
remained in check so far. With an increasing percentage of the
high-yield market made up of high-growth companies, the strength of
the equity market also will be a significant factor. The default rate
- - which measures the amount of high-yield companies that are unwilling
or unable to honor their debt - rose to its highest level since the
recessionary period of 1989-90. In my view, the default rate should
decline in 2000, but the market is likely to remain volatile. As
frustrating as that may be, I believe that type of environment plays
to Fidelity's credit research strengths, providing many attractive
investment opportunities.

For the period ended December 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
High Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance
Products Fund(the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity
Variable Insurance Products: High Income Portfolio) and is authorized
to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an
open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased by insurance
companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life
insurance contracts. The fund offers two classes of shares: the fund's
original class of shares (Initial Class shares) and Service Class
shares. Both classes have equal rights and voting privileges, except
for matters affecting a single class. Investment income, realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the fund,
and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a
pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each
class to the total net assets of the fund. Each class of shares
differs in its respective distribution plan. On October 14, 1999, the
Board of Trustees approved the creation of Service Class 2, a new
class of shares of the fund. The Service Class 2 shares will be
subject to an annual distribution and service fee of .25% of the
class' average net assets. These shares are expected to be available
on or about January 12, 2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market
(sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such
securities are normally traded. Equity securities for which quotations
are readily available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale
price, at the closing bid price. Foreign equity securities are valued
based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities
are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets
after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities
are traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are
expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they
are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events
into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty
days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued
at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both of
which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the 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 prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned and dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend date. The fund may place a debt obligation
on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income by ceasing
current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the
collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based
on consistently applied procedures, under the general supervision of
the Board of Trustees of the fund. A debt obligation is removed from
non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when
collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for paydown gains/losses on certain securities, foreign
currency transactions, market discount, partnerships, non-taxable
dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash
sales.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund
lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other
participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in
the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the
end of the fund's schedule of investments.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
Information regarding restricted securities is included under the
caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's schedule of
investments.
LOANS AND OTHER DIRECT DEBT INSTRUMENTS. The fund is permitted to
invest in loans and loan participations, trade claims or other
receivables. These investments may include standby financing
commitments that obligate the fund to supply additional cash to the
borrower on demand. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency
of the lending bank or other financial intermediary. At the end of the
period, these investments amounted to $21,673,533 or 0.8% of net
assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities), is included under the caption "Other
Information" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .0920% to .3700% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .45%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .58% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan for the Service Class (the Plan) of shares. Under the Plan, the
class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a 12b-1 fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of
Service Class average net assets. Initial Class shares are not subject
to a 12b-1 fee.
For the period, Service Class paid FDC $187,615, all of which was
reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and
providing shareholder support services.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size
and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to
the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of
the fund were equivalent to an annual rate of .07% of average net
assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH
AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records
and administers the 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.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The 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" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program
is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the
fund's schedule of investments.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses.
In addition, through an arrangement with the fund's custodian, credits
realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the reductions under
these arrangements are shown under the caption "Other Information" on
the fund's Statement of Operations.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners
of approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of the fund. In
addition, two unaffiliated insurance companies were record owners of
61% of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
8. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Information regarding transactions
with affiliated companies is included under "Legend" at the end of the
fund's schedule of investments.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
Entering the final year of the 20th century, popular U.S. equity
market indexes had just posted an unprecedented four consecutive years
of double-digit annual returns, while domestic bonds also enjoyed
relatively strong increases. The international story entering 1999,
however, was less positive. In general - with the exception of
European issues - international equities and bonds were greatly
disappointing. Asian and Russian economies had fallen into disarray,
Japan was struggling to implement banking reforms, and emerging
markets were plagued by a host of currency devaluations, loan defaults
and dismal credit outlooks. So who would have thought, just one year
later, that Japan, Russia and emerging markets would be three of
1999's best-performing investments? U.S. equities also continued to
chug along in 1999, extending their indexes' streak of consecutive
double-digit annual increases to five. The stock market was not
without its problems, however. Extremely narrow market breadth,
soaring valuations and rising interest rates - not to mention Y2K -
left many investors unsettled about the prospects for equities
entering the new millennium. Domestic fixed-income alternatives,
meanwhile, fared poorly in 1999 relative to the year prior.
U.S. STOCK MARKETS
In a word, technology was the primary driver of equity market
performance in 1999. While telecommunications, particularly the
wireless segment of the industry, also performed well, nothing
dominated like technology. This incredibly narrow market breadth was
illustrated by the technology-laden NASDAQ Index. Its return of 86.12%
for the one-year period ending December 31, 1999, was the all-time
highest annual return for any major U.S. stock index. Broader indexes,
such as the Standard & Poor's 500SM, generated much lower returns, but
were still significantly affected by tech's presence. For example,
technology was responsible for approximately 70% of the S&P 500's
12-month return of 21.04%, the index's fifth consecutive annual gain
above 20%. The top 50 stocks in the S&P 500 - the so-called "Nifty
50," many of which were technology shares - accounted for 115% of its
total return. Meanwhile, the remaining 450 stocks fell 3.13%. The Dow
Jones Industrial Average - an index of 30 blue-chip stocks - posted a
27.13% return during the period, its fifth consecutive double-digit
annual return. Despite the strong numbers of these indexes, more
stocks fell than rose in 1999. Growth stocks continued to hammer their
value-oriented peers. But in a turnaround from previous years, mid-
and small-cap growth stocks performed better than their large-cap
brethren did. Conversely, mid-and small-cap value issues posted
negative overall returns in 1999.
FOREIGN STOCK MARKETS
Similar to the domestic equity markets, technology and - perhaps to an
even greater degree than in the U.S. - telecommunications led the
charge in the vastly improved international equity markets. The
recovery of the Japanese stock market in 1999 was nothing short of
remarkable. A renewed emphasis on corporate restructuring and
shareholder value - combined with the Japanese government's
willingness to create more of a free-enterprise market system - proved
wildly successful. For the period, the Morgan Stanley Capital
International Japan Index returned 61.53% and Japan's TOPIX Index was
up 75.89%. While Canadian equity markets didn't get nearly the
attention of their U.S. neighbors, their performance was a great deal
better than the broader American indexes, as the Toronto Stock
Exchange (TSE) 300 returned 39.34% for the 12-month period ending
December 31, 1999. Despite a strong surge in December, European
markets offered mixed results over the past 12 months. In that time,
the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe Index posted a
relatively tame - at least, in comparison to other developed nations'
stock markets - one-year return of 16.16%.
U.S. BOND MARKETS
Fueled by robust economic growth and a tighter monetary policy,
interest rates moved sharply higher, causing most domestic bonds to
struggle throughout the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999. The
Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, a popular measure of
taxable-bond performance, fell 0.82% during the period. Treasury
prices had the toughest time of it, falling in response to three
quarter-point interest-rate hikes levied by the Federal Reserve Board,
which erased all of 1998's rate cuts. The Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Treasury Index plunged 8.74% in 1999. Nor were corporate bonds, as
measured by the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, immune from the
fixed-income fade during the year, falling 1.96%. Government agency
securities also fell into negative territory for the year, as the
Lehman Brothers U.S. Agency Index fell 0.94%. There were a few bright
spots, however. The high-yield market, as measured by the Merrill
Lynch High Yield Master II Index, returned 2.51% during the 12-month
period, while the Lehman Brothers Mortgage-Backed Securities Index was
up 1.86%.
FOREIGN BOND MARKETS
Emerging markets stood as one of the best-performing asset classes in
1999. For the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999, the JP Morgan
Emerging Markets Bond Index Plus was up 25.97%. A year ago, that same
index closed 1998 with a negative 14.35% annual return. A variety of
factors sparked their recovery, including rising commodity prices,
particularly oil; the continuation of a strong U.S. economy;
stable-to-lower interest rates; tame inflation; and greater political
stability. Russia was perhaps the year's biggest comeback story.
Devastated by its devaluation of the ruble and loan defaults in 1998,
Russia steadily demonstrated strong technical improvements that made
it the best-performing country in the index in 1999. Both Brazil and
Mexico enjoyed relatively low inflation and improved economies. Turkey
was the best-performing emerging-market country in December, as the
government's reform plans, IMF financial support, and the announcement
that it would be accepted in the European Union all boosted the
country's prospects. Elsewhere, outside of positive performing
Canadian and Japanese issues - beneficiaries of strong local
currencies - higher rates proved insurmountable for most non-U.S.
developed markets, which produced negative returns in local currency
terms. A markedly weak euro, coupled with firming supply pressures,
felled bond prices in Germany, France and Italy. The Salomon Brothers
Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index fell 5.07% in 1999.
FIDELITY VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS: EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO
PERFORMANCE AND INVESTMENT SUMMARY
PERFORMANCE
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance.
You can look at the total percentage change in value, the average
annual percentage change or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000
investment. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).
AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS
PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, PAST 1 YEAR PAST 5 YEARS PAST 10 YEARS
1999
FIDELITY VIP: EQUITY-INCOME - 6.33% 18.61% 14.49%
"INITIAL CLASS"
Russell 3000 Value 6.65% 22.15% 15.31%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 21.04% 28.56% 18.21%
AVERAGE ANNUAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and show you
what would have happened if the fund had performed at a constant rate
each year.
You can compare the fund's returns to the performance of the Russell
3000 Value Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of
value-oriented stocks of U.S. domiciled corporations and the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. These benchmarks
reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any.
Figures for more than one year assume a steady compounded rate of
return and are not the fund's year-by-year results, which fluctuated
over the periods shown.
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS ARE NET OF ALL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES, BUT DO NOT
INCLUDE ANY INSURANCE CHARGES IMPOSED BY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY'S
SEPARATE ACCOUNT. IF PERFORMANCE INFORMATION INCLUDED THE EFFECT OF
THESE ADDITIONAL CHARGES, THE TOTAL RETURNS WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Principal and
investment return will vary and you may have a gain or loss when you
withdraw your money.
(checkmark)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 long-term growth and
short-term volatility. In turn, the share price and
return of a fund that invests in stocks will vary.
That means if you sell your shares during a
market downturn, you might lose money. But if
you can ride out the market's ups and downs,
you may have a gain.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income
Portfolio on December 31, 1989. As the chart shows, by December 31,
1999, the value of the investment would have grown to $38,695 - a
286.95% increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the Russell 3000 Value Index did over the same period. With
dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000
investment would have grown to $41,556 - a 315.56% increase. Going
forward, the fund will compare its performance to that of the Russell
3000 Value Index, rather than the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. The
Russell 3000 Value Index more closely reflects the fund's investment
strategy.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
(photograph of Steve Petersen)
An interview with
Steve Petersen,
Portfolio Manager
of Equity-Income Portfolio
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, STEVE?
A. The fund slightly underperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index,
which returned 6.65% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 1999.
Q. WHY DID THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE LAG THAT OF THE RUSSELL INDEX?
A. The Russell 3000 Value Index, which focuses on companies with value
characteristics, closely reflects the fund's investment strategy.
However, 7% of the index was in technology stocks - typically growth
stocks rather than dividend-paying stocks - and the fund was unable to
identify good dividend-paying candidates within this sector. A huge
push in technology performance, particularly during the fourth
quarter, helped boost the Russell index. Consequently, the fund's
underweighting in technology stocks hurt its performance relative to
the index.
Q. WHAT WAS YOUR STRATEGY WITHIN THIS CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT?
A. I followed my long-term strategy, which emphasizes companies that
pay dividends, show signs of improvement in business fundamentals and
have good valuations. Rather than buying the high-priced growth
stocks, I looked for earnings growth, restructuring progress,
acquisition activity or share buyback programs that allowed for faster
earnings growth. Although this approach has worked well for us before,
over the past two years the market focused only on companies that had
robust internal growth, and punished companies that could not sustain
strong earnings growth.
Q. FINANCIAL STOCKS ACCOUNTED FOR A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THE
FUND'S PORTFOLIO AND THE RUSSELL INDEX. HOW DID THEY DO?
A. The biggest impact on financial stocks during 1999 was the Federal
Reserve Board's interest-rate increases. In general, rising interest
rates are not good for this sector because they tend to cause
borrowing activity to slow. We also saw a gradual narrowing between
longer-term fixed-income yields and shorter-term yields during the
year, which negatively affected many financial stocks. Lending
institutions play the spreads, borrowing short-term money - deposits -
and lending long-term money - mortgages and installment loans. When
spreads narrow, it hurts banks' profitability. Such traditional
commercial banks as Bank One, BankAmerica and savings and loan
institution Washington Mutual performed poorly. Fannie Mae also
suffered from negative investor perception of the overall sector,
even though its earnings were on track during the year. On the other
hand, financial companies that earned a higher percentage of their
revenues from transactions or asset management did well during the
year. For example, Citigroup benefited from strong equity markets
through its Salomon Smith Barney subsidiary. Fund holding Bank of New
York's custodial business helped its performance.
Q. WHICH OTHER STOCKS PERFORMED WELL?
A. GE, the fund's largest holding, contributed significantly to
overall performance. This company demonstrated consistent earnings
growth and did a good job strengthening its various business units.
Energy holdings BP Amoco and Total Fina benefited from rising oil
prices and their stocks performed very well. Alcoa demonstrated its
ability to cut costs, make successful acquisitions of second-tier
producers, integrate those acquisitions successfully, purchase
properties and streamline its operations. As a result, with aluminum
prices trending upward during 1999, Alcoa's stock performed strongly.
Wal-Mart continued to improve profitability and benefited from a
consumer trend toward value for such products as apparel.
Q. WHAT ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. In addition to the financial stocks I mentioned earlier, Philip
Morris performed poorly, suffering from continued litigation woes that
do not appear likely to let up in the near future. I sold much of the
fund's position in this stock. Waste Management experienced internal
accounting problems earlier in 1999, and its stock fell significantly.
I sold this stock from the fund's portfolio.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, STEVE?
A. I'm still cautious. The outlook for corporate earnings growth in
the near term looks good and, as the world economy continues its
recovery, we're seeing more good news from companies that were hurt by
the global economic downturn last year. The potentially bad news is
that the U.S. government and the Fed are still concerned about the
potential for inflation to pick up once again. They also appear to be
monitoring the valuation anomaly on the technology side of the market.
Any action to increase interest rates could be detrimental to value
stocks.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended December 31, 1999
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Equity-Income Portfolio (the fund) is a fund of Variable Insurance
Products Fund(the trust) (referred to in this report as Fidelity
Variable Insurance Products: Equity-Income Portfolio) and is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The trust is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust. Shares of the fund may only be purchased
by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity or
variable life insurance contracts. The fund offers two classes of
shares: the fund's original class of shares (Initial Class shares) and
Service Class shares. Both classes have equal rights and voting
privileges, except for matters affecting a single class. Investment
income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common
expenses of the fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if
any, are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the
relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the fund.
Each class of shares differs in its respective distribution plan. On
October 14, 1999, the Board of Trustees approved the creation of
Service Class 2, a new class of shares of the fund. The Service Class
2 shares will be subject to an annual distribution and service fee of
.25% of the class' average net assets. These shares are expected to be
available on or about January 12, 2000.
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles which require management to
make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting
policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. Short-term
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which
quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost or
original cost plus accrued interest, both of which approximate current
value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the 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 prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to
income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of
its taxable income for its fiscal year. The schedule of investments
includes information regarding income taxes under the caption "Income
Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. 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 fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is accrued as earned. Investment income is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is
uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in a cross-section of other Fidelity funds.
Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance
with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions are
declared separately for each class.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for market discount, litigation proceeds, foreign currency
transactions, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash
sales.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - CONTINUED
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period Any taxable income or gain remaining at
fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from
registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations
and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
At the end of the period the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Information regarding purchases and sales of securities (other than
short-term securities), is included under the caption "Other
Information" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a
fixed individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of
the fund. The group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of
rates and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2167% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .48% of average net assets.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the
1940 Act, the Board of Trustees has adopted a Distribution and Service
Plan for the Service Class (the Plan) of shares. Under the Plan, the
class pays Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of
FMR, a 12b-1 fee. This fee is based on an annual rate of .10% of
Service Class average net assets. Initial Class shares are not subject
to a 12b-1 fee.
For the period, Service Class paid FDC $335,256, all of which was
reallowed to insurance companies, for the distribution of shares and
providing shareholder support services.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations
Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer,
dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FIIOC receives
account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to account size
and type of account. FIIOC pays a portion of the expenses related to
the typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees of
the fund were equivalent to an annual rate of .07% of average net
assets.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc.
(FSC), an affiliate of FMR, maintains the fund's accounting records
and administers the 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.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The 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" at the end of the fund's schedule of investments.
5. SECURITY LENDING.
The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of
the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at
the close of business of the fund and any additional required
collateral is delivered to the fund on the next business day. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. Information regarding the value of
securities loaned and the value of collateral at period end is
included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the
fund's schedule of investments.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses.
For the period, the reduction under this arrangement is shown under
the caption "Other Information" on the fund's Statement of Operations.
7. BENEFICIAL INTEREST.
At the end of the period, Fidelity Investments Life Insurance Company
(FILI) and its subsidiaries, affiliates of FMR, were the record owners
of approximately 13% of the outstanding shares of the fund. In
addition, one unaffiliated insurance company was record owner of 29%
of the total outstanding shares of the fund.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Trustees of Variable Insurance Products Fund and the
Shareholders of Equity-Income Portfolio:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of
operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Equity-Income Portfolio (a fund of Variable Insurance Products Fund)
at December 31, 1999, and the results of its operations, the changes
in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods
indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. These financial statements and financial
highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the
responsibility of the Equity-Income Portfolio's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial
statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in
the United States 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 at December 31, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
