On page 29 of the  prospectus  under  the  heading  Investment  Advisers  please
replace the paragraphs  discussing  Fidelity  Management & Research Company with
the following:

    Fidelity  Management & Research Company ("FMR") is the investment adviser to
Fidelity  Variable  Insurance  Products  Fund ("VIP"):  Growth  Portfolio and to
Fidelity VIP II: Asset  Manager  Portfolio  and  Contrafund  Portfolio.  For its
investment  advisory  services,  FMR  receives a monthly  fee from each of these
Portfolios.  As of December 31, 1997, the VIP Growth Portfolio, the VIP II Asset
Manager  Portfolio  and the VIP II  Contrafund  Portfolio  paid  FMR fees at the
annual rate of .60%, .55% and .60%  respectively,  of each  Portfolio's  average
daily net assets.

    FMR may, from time to time,  agree to reimburse a Portfolio  for  management
fees and other  expenses  above a  specified  percentage  of  average  daily net
assets. Reimbursement arrangements,  which may be terminated at any time without
notice,  will increase a Portfolio's  yield. If FMR discontinues a reimbursement
arrangement,  the affected Portfolio's expenses will go up and its yield will be
reduced.  FMR  retains  the  ability  to be repaid by a  Portfolio  for  expense
reimbursements  if expenses  fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal
year.  Repayment by a Portfolio will lower its yield. FMR has voluntarily agreed
to  temporarily  limit the total expenses  (including  the  management  fee, but
generally  excluding  taxes,  interest  and  extraordinary  expenses) of the VIP
Growth  Portfolio,  VIP  II  Asset  Manager  Portfolio  and  VIP  II  Contrafund
Portfolio, respectively, to 1.50%, 1.25% and 1.00%.
