Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Mahmoud Sharaf, Portfolio Manager of Chemicals Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 7.52%, behind the 11.28% gain of its industry benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Chemicals 25-50 Index, and the S&P 500®. The period started out relatively well, with most markets benefiting from the slow-paced global economic recovery. However, oil prices began to decline mid-summer due to an increase in global production and anemic consumption. Then, in a surprise move in November, OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, announced it would not cut production to ease the price decline, causing oil to plummet further. Prices continued to tumble through period end, flattening the global cost curve for commodity chemicals firms, which use crude oil in their production. As a result, this subindustry - the fund's largest overweighting versus its MSCI benchmark the past year - weighed on its relative performance. This period, many of the fund's biggest detractors were from this area, including Methanex - an out-of-index holding - and Westlake Chemical. As oil continued to decline and the U.S. dollar gained strength during the back half of the period, higher-quality, more-defensive chemicals names began to outperform. This included paint and coatings makers, which also benefited from the plummeting oil prices because these firms use oil-based raw materials. Here, an underweighting in Sherwin-Williams was the fund's biggest individual detractor. Sherwin-Williams outperformed as investors were drawn to the safe-haven stock due to firm's U.S.-focused business and its tie to the improving domestic housing market. Elsewhere, a modest cash position of roughly 2%, on average, hurt amid a relatively strong market. On the flip side, an average overweighting in biochemical and organic chemical producer Sigma-Aldrich was the fund's biggest contributor the past year and one of its largest holdings. The stock of this long-time fund holding popped in September after Germany-based Merck KgaG, a multinational chemicals, pharmaceuticals and life sciences firm, agreed to buy Sigma-Aldrich to expand its business in chemicals used in research labs and drug manufacturing. The deal was completed in December. Another multiyear holding, specialty chemical producer Ashland, lifted the fund's relative result. Ashland successfully sold one of its low-margin, low-multiple divisions and used the proceeds to buy back some of its stock. I remained to be bullish on the firm's growth potential, and Ashland remained one of the fund's biggest holdings at period end.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Chemicals Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to in-kind transactions, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation

$ 409,784,548

Gross unrealized depreciation

(9,546,355)

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,494,917,803 and $1,272,244,611, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, 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 for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $26,565 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Borrower or Lender

Average Loan
Balance

Weighted Average Interest Rate

Interest Expense

Borrower

$ 8,247,590

$ 2,928

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 624,612 shares of the Fund held by affiliated entities were redeemed for cash and investments with a value of $94,716,088. The net realized gain of $44,600,048 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $2,433 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. At period end, there were no security loans outstanding. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $251,742.

8. Bank Borrowings.

The Fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity requirements. 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. The average loan balance during the period for which loans were outstanding amounted to $8,162,833. The weighted average interest rate was .58%. The interest expense amounted to $793 under the bank borrowing program. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $3,515.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager, Gold Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned -17.45%, underperforming the -16.34% return of its industry benchmark, the S&P® Global BMI Gold Capped Index and the S&P® 500. By comparison, the broadly based MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index added 7.95%. It was a difficult year for gold and gold stocks as the period saw gold prices fall from a high of $1,383 to a low of $1,141 an ounce. The fund underperformed its industry benchmark by underweighting names that outperformed, including Newmont Mining and Zinjin Mining Group, the latter of which we did not own. Overweighting names that lost ground also hurt, including B2Gold and Argonaut Gold. Some non-gold equity positions also dragged on the fund's result. Conversely, underweighting stocks that underperformed contributed to results, including Barrick Gold, which lagged on concerns about its debt level and management changes, along with uncertainty about its strategy after a failed attempt to acquire Newmont. Our bullion position also contributed, as it outperformed the gold equity benchmark.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Consolidated Subsidiary.

The Fund invests in certain commodity-related investments through Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). As of February 28, 2015, the Fund held an investment of $116,684,748 in the Subsidiary, representing 10.4% of the Fund's net assets.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

4. Significant Accounting Policies.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

4. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will

significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, losses deferred due to wash sales and capital loss carryforwards.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $248,761,008 and $376,980,261, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

FMR, either through itself or through an affiliate provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary for which the Subsidiary pays a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its net assets. Under the management contract with the subsidiary, FMR pays all other expenses of the Subsidiary, except custodian fees.

For the reporting period, the total consolidated annual management fee rate which includes the management fee of the Fund and the Subsidiary was .58% of the Fund's average net assets.

During the period, the investment adviser waived a portion of the Fund's management fee representing the amount of the management fee paid by the Subsidiary to FMR as described in the Expense Reductions note.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,496 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,717 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee paid by the Subsidiary to FMR. During the period, this waiver reduced the Fund's management fee by $446,754.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $275.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Gold and Institutional Class expenses during the period in the amount of $7,613.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Tobias Welo, Portfolio Manager of Materials Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned 2.46%, considerably trailing the 8.95% advance of the MSCI U.S. IMI Materials 25-50 Index and also lagging the S&P 500®. Disappointing growth in both developed and emerging economies resulted in deflationary trends that dampened returns in the materials sector. These trends included falling prices for most commodities - notably, crude oil - and a surging U.S. dollar, which often accompanies weakness in commodities. Versus the MSCI index, both stock selection and market selection hampered the fund's results. Our large overweighting in diversified chemicals firm FMC, the fund's biggest relative detractor, fell victim to less-favorable fundamentals than I anticipated. In FMC's case, it was the collapse of global grain prices and subsequent disappointing sales of the firm's pesticides and herbicides. I sold a little here but maintained most of the position. A non-index position in coal producer Peabody Energy - which I sold - also worked against us, as did a sizable overweighting in Eastman Chemical and not owning strong-performing index name Air Products and Chemicals. Conversely, the two largest relative contributors were paper packaging stocks Rock-Tenn and Graphic Packaging Holding.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Materials and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, in-kind transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), original issue discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate

decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 206,748 shares of the fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $17,590,149. The net realized gain of $6,050,156 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. The Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $22,792,169 in exchange for 267,891 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,260 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,277.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $20,813 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Materials expenses during the period in the amount of $7,087.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Chemicals Portfolio, Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities (consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for Gold Portfolio), including the schedules of investments (consolidated schedule of investments for Gold Portfolio), and the related statements of operations (consolidated statement of operations for Gold Portfolio) and of changes in net assets (consolidated changes in net assets for Gold Portfolio) and the financial highlights (consolidated financial highlights for Gold Portfolio) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chemicals Portfolio, Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

The funds' Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a free copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-544-8544.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Chemicals Portfolio
Gold Portfolio
Materials Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of Chemicals Portfolio's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the funds. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that Chemicals Portfolio's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

For each of Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio, the Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of Chemicals Portfolio and the total expense ratio of each class of Gold Portfolio and Materials Portfolio were reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Ali Khan, Portfolio Manager of Communications Equipment Portfolio for most of the period covered by this report: For the year, the fund returned 12.49%, outpacing the 10.19% gain of the S&P® Custom Communications Equipment Index but lagging the S&P 500®. Compared with the broader market, modest equipment spending by telecommunications services providers helped keep a lid on the return of the industry index, although the industry played some catch-up with the S&P 500® in the period's second half. Versus the industry index, stock selection added considerable value during the period, both in the fund's primary category of communications equipment and in technology hardware, storage & peripherals, a small component of the benchmark. Not owning benchmark component ParkerVision, a designer of radio-frequency technologies for use in wireless communications products, made this stock the top contributor to relative performance. ParkerVision shares took a hit in June when the patent infringement suit the firm had filed against QUALCOMM took an unfavorable turn. Aruba Networks, a provider of network access solutions for mobile enterprise networks, also contributed, as did a non-index position in Apple, which I sold in August. Conversely, strong-performing index name Palo Alto Networks was the fund's largest relative detractor because I sold it too soon. Infinera was an index stock I reduced to a token position in the first half of the period, which resulted in missing the strong second-half gain delivered by this stock. Lastly, I'll mention index name Sierra Wireless, a maker of components for the wireless industry that detracted because the fund didn't own it. This stock was particularly strong in November, after the company blew past consensus revenue and earnings estimates for the third quarter. Additionally, although all of the companies I've mentioned in this update were domestic, the fund's foreign holdings were a drag on performance because of the strong U.S. dollar.

Note to shareholders: Colin Anderson succeeded Ali Khan as Portfolio Manager of Communications Equipment Portfolio on January 31, 2015, after serving as Co-Manager since October 2014.

A Total returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown.

B Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

C Fees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

D Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

E Investment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.10 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .18%.

F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.

G Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind.

H For the year ended February 29.

I Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

J Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share reflects proceeds from litigation which amounted to $.06 per share. Excluding these litigation proceeds, the total return would have been (.19)%.

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Christopher Lin, Portfolio Manager of Computers Portfolio: For the year, the fund gained 13.36%, easily outpacing the 8.73% rise of the S&P® Custom Computers & Peripherals Index but trailing the S&P 500® Index. Versus the broader market, computer stocks were hampered by underperformance in the fund's primary category of technology hardware, storage & peripherals. Even weaker results in the IT consulting & other services segment also weighed on our industry benchmark. Compared with the MSCI index, having virtually no exposure to three-dimensional printing firm 3D Systems made this index stock by far the fund's largest contributor, as it returned -60% during the period. Overweighting Apple, by far the fund's largest holding and the biggest component of the industry index, also bolstered the fund's results. I sold a sizable chunk of the fund's position in Apple during the summer but maintained a sizable overweighting here. Not owning weak-performing index component Immersion also aided relative performance. This company controls certain patents in haptic, or touch-based, technologies. A non-index position in social network provider Facebook, another contributor, was an example of my attempt to look outside the computer industry for promising stocks. Conversely, the fund's two largest relative detractors were non-index names. Audience provides audio and voice products aimed at improving the user experience in mobile devices. The company has significant exposure to Samsung Electronics and was hurt by consumers' poor reception of Samsung's latest smartphone. Internet search provider Google was another non-index stock that recorded disappointing performance. In the case of supercomputer maker Cray, I misjudged the stock earlier in the period, after competitor IBM announced plans to exit the business, much of which I thought might fall to Cray. Unfortunately, Cray's growth continued to be sluggish, and I reduced the position to an underweighting over the summer after bumping it to an overweighting earlier.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Stephen Barwikowski, Portfolio Manager of Electronics Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 34.91%, topping the 32.28% gain of its industry benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment 25-50 Index, and also outpacing the S&P 500®. Continued improvement in the macroeconomic environment, generally favorable earnings news and industry catalysts helped semiconductor stocks post a market-beating gain during the period. Compared with the MSCI index, a sizable overweighting in Freescale Semiconductor was the fund's largest relative contributor. Freescale supplies microprocessors, sensors, analog integrated circuits and other components used in the rapidly growing auto electronics market. Avoiding weak-performing index name Cree, a maker of LED components, for most of the period also was helpful. A meaningful overweighting in Broadcom further bolstered our relative results. Computer chipmaker Intel was by far the largest component of the MSCI index and the fund's fourth-largest relative contributor. I meaningfully underweighted this stock because I questioned the company's long-term growth potential, given its dependence on the stagnant PC market. Ironically, at the period's halfway mark, Intel was our largest relative detractor because the stock had outperformed to that point. Subsequently, though, underweighting Intel helped, especially late in the period, when it was relatively weak. Despite the underweighting, Intel was the fund's largest position at period end. Conversely, negligible exposure to strong-performing Avago Technologies, which I repurchased in September after selling it in July, made this index component the fund's biggest relative detractor. The fund did not own Avago at period end. Largely avoiding index name Skyworks Solutions, another outperforming provider of radio frequency semiconductors, further hampered our results. Meanwhile, the share price of wireless infrastructure maker QUALCOMM moved lower in the last six months of the period, making it a relative detractor. I took advantage of this decline to substantially boost our already overweighted position.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Kyle Weaver, Portfolio Manager of IT Services Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 11.16%, a bit better than the 11.13% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Information Technology Services 25-50 Index but lagging the S&P 500®. Looking at the two main subindustries in the MSCI index, data processing & outsourced services returned roughly 19%, whereas IT consulting & other services posted a small decline. One decision that played out especially well was a large underweighting in weak-performing technology services provider IBM, which had an average weighting of 21% in the MSCI index and was by far the fund's largest individual contributor versus its benchmark. Other contributors included two non-index positions: Endurance International Group Holdings, a Web-hosting company, and Luxoft Holding, a provider of custom software development. Conversely, the biggest detractor by far was a non-index position in Web.com Group, a provider of Web hosting and website development services for smaller businesses. These shares were hampered when questions about greater competition arose in June about the firm's core website domain registration service. With that said, I increased the fund's allocation here. Other detractors included a non-index stake in CommVault Systems, a maker of data backup software for businesses, and a sizable underweighting in strong-performing payroll processor and index component Automatic Data Processing. I significantly reduced our stake in CommVault.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

A Total returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown.

B Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

C Fees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

D Amount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

E Investment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.02 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been (.19)%.

F Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund.

G For the year ended February 29.

H Amount represents less than $.01 per share.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Ali Khan, who became sole Portfolio Manager of Software and Computer Services Portfolio on January 31, 2015, after serving as Co-Portfolio Manager since July 2014: For the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, the fund returned 6.33%, underperforming the 9.26% advance of its industry benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Software & Services 25-50 Index, and the broadly based S&P 500® Index. Stock selection among Internet software & services names was the biggest detractor versus the benchmark. On an individual basis, Internet services provider Web.com was a major drag. The company provides small businesses with services such as search-engine optimization. The stock suffered from competitive pressure, mainly influenced by concerns about Google taking market share, as well as a hiccup in Web.com's sales execution. E2Open, which provides cloud-based, on-demand software solutions, was another disappointment. This software-as-a-service (SaaS) company stumbled due to concerns about its customer base, as well as balance-sheet and negative cash-flow issues. Search-engine provider Google remains the fund's largest holding and overweighting (combining its Class A and Class C shares), even though I cut back somewhat on the position toward period end. The stock underperformed the index during the period, partly due to investors' concerns about the company's decelerating revenue growth and accelerating capital and operating investements. On the upside, two of the fund's primary relative contributors were acquisition targets: online real estate business Move and digital and technology networking company Sapient. Both companies were acquired at a premium and the fund benefited. Also helping was the fund's position in payment processor Visa. The company posted double-digit earnings growth, and the stock rose strongly.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Charlie Chai, Portfolio Manager of Technology Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 9.97%, considerably trailing the 20.42% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Information Technology 25-50 Index and also lagging the S&P 500®. Versus the broader market, tech stocks were lifted by technology hardware, storage & peripherals, semiconductors, and data processing & outsourced services, all of which were sizable components of the MSCI index that outperformed the S&P 500® by healthy margins. Internet software & services was a meaningful laggard. During the period, sluggish global growth and some unfortunate stock picking on my part created challenges on a variety of fronts - especially in Internet software & services. Additionally, a surging U.S. dollar dampened the performance of the fund's foreign holdings in dollar terms. One non-index stock exemplifying both of these trends was the fund's third-largest relative detractor: South Korea-based search portal and gaming-services operator NAVER. These shares returned about -21% for the period, as the company reported disappointing revenue during the fourth quarter of 2014, driven by lower domestic online advertising sales. Another relative detractor from the Internet software & services segment was Internet portal Yahoo!, an index component. In this case, I reduced the fund's sizable overweighting. Stock selection in a number of other groups also hurt, notably semiconductors and semiconductor equipment. For example, the fund's relative results suffered because of not owning personal computer chipmaker Intel, an index component that returned about 38%. Elsewhere, underweighting smartphone maker Apple made this stock our biggest detractor on a relative basis, even after adding meaningfully to the position during the period. Conversely, not owning technology consulting heavyweight IBM was timely, as the share price of this index component returned about -10% during the period. Underweighting and ultimately selling Microsoft in November also paid off, as the shares took a drubbing in January. Also lifting our results was Concur Technologies, which offers cloud-based travel-and-expense management solutions. This stock surged in September after German enterprise software giant SAP offered to buy the company. I sold Concur to lock in profits.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Communications Equipment Portfolio, Computers Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, IT Services Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio, and Technology Portfolio (the Funds) are non-diversified funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between funds. Certain Funds investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Funds invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but do not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, each Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Funds determine the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for Computers Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio and Technology Portfolio, independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Technology Portfolio is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences resulted in distribution reclassifications for Technology Portfolio for the period ended February 28, 2014. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to futures contracts, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, redemptions in kind, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of prior fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Funds less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued 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 securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable 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 value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate and an annualized group fee rate. The individual fund fee rate is applied to each Fund's average net assets. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, each Fund's annual management fee rate expressed as a percentage of each Fund's average net assets was as follows.

The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. Certain Funds placed a portion of their portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are as follows:

During the period, the Funds did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

Certain Funds lend portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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, the Funds may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Funds may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

8. Bank Borrowings.

Each Fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity requirements. 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. At period end, there were no bank borrowings outstanding. Each applicable Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

The Funds' organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Communications Equipment Portfolio, Computers Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, IT Services Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio and Technology 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 Communications Equipment Portfolio, Computers Portfolio, Electronics Portfolio, IT Services Portfolio, Software and Computer Services Portfolio and Technology Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Communications Equipment Portfolio
Computers Portfolio
Electronics Portfolio
IT Services Portfolio
Software and Computer Services Portfolio
Technology Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Annual Report

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for Communications Equipment Portfolio and Software and Computer Services Portfolio in September 2014 and June 2014, respectively.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each fund's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the funds. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each fund's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Annual Report

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that each fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Staples Fund - Class A, T, B and C


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Robert Lee, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Staples Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 21.95%, 21.60%, 21.01% and 21.03%, respectively (excluding sales charges), straddling the 21.28% gain of its sector benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Staples 25-50 Index, and outpacing the S&P 500®. The sector put up a strong absolute return and outpaced the broader market, as long-term trends supported continued growth in consumer staples sales, even amid an increasingly challenging global macroeconomic backdrop. In addition, many companies remained focused on cost cutting, which helped account for decent earnings results, while merger-and-acquisition activity among a handful of names added a bit of a spark. Versus the MSCI index, food retail was a sweet spot for the fund the past year, with grocer Kroger by far our biggest contributor and one of our largest holdings. Shares of the grocery and retail giant steadily rose during the period, as consumers continued to gravitate toward its customer-friendly stores, which boasted a bevy of locations and discounted private-label goods. As a result, the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected sales and earnings growth, including expanding revenue and profits. Whole Foods Market was another winner in this space, due to timely ownership. Elsewhere, Monster Beverage, which I added to the fund during the year, helped. The fund was overweighted the energy-drink manufacturer when its shares soared in August after beverage giant Coca-Cola acquired a 17% stake in the firm. As part of the new partnership, Coca-Cola transferred its energy drink lineup to Monster in exchange for Monster's non-energy drink business, to include its natural soft drinks and juices. The exchange gave Monster an immediate sales boost and expanded international presence. Additionally, the firm launched new energy products late in 2014, and it plans to expand its lineup and international expansion in 2015. On the flip side, the fund's stake in British American Tobacco (BAT), our largest position, hurt. Slowing sales of BAT's cigarette brands, driven lower by a shaky global economy that has limited consumer spending in some markets, as well as heightened competition from e-cigarette makers, caused the stock to decline. Stock selection in distillers & vintners also hurt, including non-index stakes in the U.K.'s Diageo and French firms Pernod Ricard and Remy Cointreau. Cognac had been a popular gift for Chinese government officials prior to 2013, but the category took a hit last year amid the country's crackdown on corruption that banned lavish gifts, including high-end spirits, for civil servants. This weighed on the earnings and sales of all three firms over the year. I sold Pernod from the fund by period end. Of note, the fund's cash position also hindered our relative result amid a strong market, as did some of its foreign investments due to an appreciating dollar.

Consumer Staples Portfolio


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 523,611 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $47,287,323. The net realized gain of $20,812,198 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. Then Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $64,348,425 in exchange for 712,528 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,649 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $366,992.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $9,955 for the period.

The investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Consumer Staples expenses during the period in the amount of $2,949.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 26% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Gold Fund - Class A, T, B and C


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

A Class A shares bear a 0.25% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class A shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Gold Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class A's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower.

B Class T shares bear a 0.50% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class T shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Gold Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class T's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower.

C Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Gold Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class B's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.

D Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Gold Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class C's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

Fidelity Advisor Gold Fund


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager, Fidelity Advisor® Gold Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned -17.72%, -17.95%, -18.31% and -18.33%, respectively (excluding sales charges), underperforming the -16.34% return of its industry benchmark, the S&P® Global BMI Gold Capped Index, and the S&P® 500. By comparison, the broadly based MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index added 7.95%. It was a difficult year for gold and gold stocks as the period saw gold prices fall from a high of $1,383 to a low of $1,141 an ounce during the period. The fund underperformed its industry benchmark by underweighting names that outperformed, including Newmont Mining and Zinjin Mining Group, the latter of which we did not own. Overweighting names that lost ground also hurt, including B2Gold and Argonaut Gold. Some non-gold equity positions also dragged on the fund's result. Conversely, underweighting stocks that underperformed contributed to results, including Barrick Gold, which lagged on concerns about its debt level and management changes, along with uncertainty about its strategy after a failed attempt to acquire Newmont. Our bullion position also contributed, as it outperformed the gold equity benchmark.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Consolidated Subsidiary.

The Fund invests in certain commodity-related investments through Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). As of February 28, 2015, the Fund held an investment of $116,684,748 in the Subsidiary, representing 10.4% of the Fund's net assets.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

4. Significant Accounting Policies.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

4. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, losses deferred due to wash sales and capital loss carryforwards.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $248,761,008 and $376,980,261, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

FMR, either through itself or through an affiliate provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary for which the Subsidiary pays a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its net assets. Under the management contract with the subsidiary, FMR pays all other expenses of the Subsidiary, except custodian fees.

For the reporting period, the total consolidated annual management fee rate which includes the management fee of the Fund and the Subsidiary was .58% of the Fund's average net assets.

During the period, the investment adviser waived a portion of the Fund's management fee representing the amount of the management fee paid by the Subsidiary to FMR as described in the Expense Reductions note.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Sales Load. FDC may receive a front-end sales charge of up to 5.75% for selling Class A shares and 3.50% for selling Class T shares, some of which is paid to financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund. Depending on the holding period, FDC may receive contingent deferred sales charges levied on Class A, Class T, Class B, and Class C redemptions. The deferred sales charges range from 5.00% to 1.00% for Class B shares, 1.00% for Class C shares, 1.00% for certain purchases of Class A shares and .25% for certain purchases of Class T shares.

For the period, sales charge amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc., (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,496 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,717 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

9. Expense Reductions.

The investment adviser has contractually agreed to waive the Fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee paid by the Subsidiary to FMR. During the period, this waiver reduced the Fund's management fee by $446,754.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $275.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Gold and Institutional Class expenses during the period in the amount of $7,613.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Fidelity Advisor Materials Fund - Class A, T, B and C


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Tobias Welo, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Materials Fund: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares returned 2.20%, 1.90%, 1.35% and 1.43%, respectively (excluding sales charges), considerably trailing the 8.95% advance of the MSCI U.S. IMI Materials 25-50 Index and also lagging the S&P 500®. Disappointing growth in both developed and emerging economies resulted in deflationary trends that dampened returns in the materials sector. These trends included falling prices for most commodities - notably, crude oil - and a surging U.S. dollar, which often accompanies weakness in commodities. Versus the MSCI index, both stock selection and market selection hampered the fund's results. Our large overweighting in diversified chemicals firm FMC, the fund's biggest relative detractor, fell victim to less-favorable fundamentals than I anticipated. In FMC's case, it was the collapse of global grain prices and subsequent disappointing sales of the firm's pesticides and herbicides. I sold a little here but maintained most of the position. A non-index position in coal producer Peabody Energy - which I sold - also worked against us, as did a sizable overweighting in Eastman Chemical and not owning strong-performing index name Air Products and Chemicals. Conversely, the two largest relative contributors were paper packaging stocks Rock-Tenn and Graphic Packaging Holding.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Materials and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, in-kind transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), original issue discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,614,718,611 and $1,663,229,593, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate

Annual Report

decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services.

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 206,748 shares of the fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $17,590,149. The net realized gain of $6,050,156 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. The Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $22,792,169 in exchange for 267,891 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,260 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,277.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $20,813 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Materials expenses during the period in the amount of $7,087.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report

Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications Fund - Class A, T, B and C


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow. Returns reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after a maximum of seven years.

Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Telecommunications Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class T's shares' 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower.

C Class B shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class B shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Telecommunications Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class B's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower. Class B shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 5%, 2%, and 0%, respectively.

D Class C shares bear a 1.00% 12b-1 fee. The initial offering of Class C shares took place on December 12, 2006. Returns prior to December 12, 2006, are those of Telecommunications Portfolio, the original class of the fund, which has no 12b-1 fee. Had Class C's 12b-1 fee been reflected, returns prior to December 12, 2006, would have been lower. Class C shares' contingent deferred sales charges included in the past one year, past five years, and past ten years total return figures are 1%, 0%, and 0%, respectively.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Matthew Drukker, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Telecommunications Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Class A, Class T, Class B and Class C shares rose 11.54%, 11.19%, 10.67% and 10.75%, respectively (excluding sales charges), underperforming the 12.66% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Telecommunications Services 25-50 Index and the S&P 500®. Telecom stocks had a strong absolute return, but they lagged the broad market due in part to a decline in consumer spending and a high debt-equity ratio for the sector. Further weighing on the sector were falling net profit margins, given continued competition among major wireless carriers - namely Verizon Communications, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile - and rising expenses at firms looking to expand and improve their networks. Despite these negative factors, increased demand for wireless helped support the sector, as did yield-hungry investors attracted to the dividends typically paid by telecom firms. From an industry perspective, the fund's positioning in wireless telecom services hurt the most versus the MSCI index. Looking at individual stocks, the fund's non-index position in U.K.-based Vodafone Group was the biggest relative detractor. The stock stumbled the past year amid the firm's announcement of disappointing fourth-quarter sales and expected declines in 2015 core earnings because of investment spending needed for its business. I sold a significant portion of our holdings in the stock during the period to invest in more-promising opportunities. On the flip side, positioning in alternative carriers was a plus, including an average overweighting in telecom and Internet service provider Level 3 Communications, the fund's biggest contributor and one of its largest holdings. I increased our stake in Level 3 to an overweighting as the period progressed, and its shares rose when the firm acquired competitor tw telecom in October and reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings in November.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Telecommunications and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transaction, in-kind transactions, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $369,250,039 and $374,869,443, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 198,779 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $12,187,185. The net realized gain of $2,885,287 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $615 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $241,214.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $27,389 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Telecommunications expenses during the period in the amount of $418.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Core Fund was the owner of record of approximately 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund. Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities (consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for Gold Portfolio), including the schedules of investments (consolidated schedule of investments for Gold Portfolio), and the related statements of operations (consolidated statement of operations for Gold Portfolio) and of changes in net assets (consolidated changes in net assets for Gold Portfolio) and the financial highlights (consolidated financial highlights for Gold Portfolio) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Consumer Staples Portfolio
Gold Portfolio
Materials Portfolio
Telecommunications Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance. Each of Consumer Staples Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio each underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended May 31, 2014, and as a result, the Board will continue to discuss with SelectCo the steps it is taking to address each fund's performance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the funds. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

For each of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, and Materials Portfolio, the Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of Telecommunications Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that each fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of each fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that, although the expense ratio of Class T of Telecommunications Portfolio was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, the total expense ratio of each class of each fund was reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Staples Fund - Institutional Class


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Robert Lee, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Consumer Staples Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 22.26%, outperforming the 21.28% gain of its sector benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Staples 25-50 Index, and the S&P 500®. The sector put up a strong absolute return and outpaced the broader market, as long-term trends supported continued growth in consumer staples sales, even amid an increasingly challenging global macroeconomic backdrop. In addition, many companies remained focused on cost cutting, which helped account for decent earnings results, while merger-and-acquisition activity among a handful of names added a bit of a spark. Versus the MSCI index, food retail was a sweet spot for the fund the past year, with grocer Kroger by far our biggest contributor and one of our largest holdings. Shares of the grocery and retail giant steadily rose during the period, as consumers continued to gravitate toward its customer-friendly stores, which boasted a bevy of locations and discounted private-label goods. As a result, the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected sales and earnings growth, including expanding revenue and profits. Whole Foods Market was another winner in this space, due to timely ownership. Elsewhere, Monster Beverage, which I added to the fund during the year, helped. The fund was overweighted the energy-drink manufacturer when its shares soared in August after beverage giant Coca-Cola acquired a 17% stake in the firm. As part of the new partnership, Coca-Cola transferred its energy drink lineup to Monster in exchange for Monster's non-energy drink business, to include its natural soft drinks and juices. The exchange gave Monster an immediate sales boost and expanded international presence. Additionally, the firm launched new energy products late in 2014, and it plans to expand its lineup and international expansion in 2015. On the flip side, the fund's stake in British American Tobacco (BAT), our largest position, hurt. Slowing sales of BAT's cigarette brands, driven lower by a shaky global economy that has limited consumer spending in some markets, as well as heightened competition from e-cigarette makers, caused the stock to decline. Stock selection in distillers & vintners also hurt, including non-index stakes in the U.K.'s Diageo and French firms Pernod Ricard and Remy Cointreau. Cognac had been a popular gift for Chinese government officials prior to 2013, but the category took a hit last year amid the country's crackdown on corruption that banned lavish gifts, including high-end spirits, for civil servants. This weighed on the earnings and sales of all three firms over the year. I sold Pernod from the fund by period end. Of note, the fund's cash position also hindered our relative result amid a strong market, as did some of its foreign investments due to an appreciating dollar.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,618,121,721 and $1,046,857,746, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 523,611 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $47,287,323. The net realized gain of $20,812,198 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. Then Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $64,348,425 in exchange for 712,528 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,649 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $366,992.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $9,955 for the period.

The investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Consumer Staples expenses during the period in the amount of $2,949.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 26% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Fidelity Advisor Gold Fund - Institutional Class


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Fidelity Advisor Gold Fund


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from S. Joseph Wickwire II, Portfolio Manager, Fidelity Advisor® Gold Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned -17.45%, underperforming the -16.34% return of its industry benchmark, the S&P® Global BMI Gold Capped Index, and the S&P® 500. By comparison, the broadly based MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Index added 7.95%. It was a difficult year for gold and gold stocks as the period saw gold prices fall from a high of $1,383 to a low of $1,141 an ounce. The fund underperformed its industry benchmark by underweighting names that outperformed, including Newmont Mining and Zinjin Mining Group, the latter of which we did not own. Overweighting names that lost ground also hurt, including B2Gold and Argonaut Gold. Some non-gold equity positions also dragged on the fund's result. Conversely, underweighting stocks that underperformed contributed to results, including Barrick Gold, which lagged on concerns about its debt levels and management changes, along with uncertainty about its strategy after a failed attempt to acquire Newmont. Our bullion position also contributed, as it outperformed the gold equity benchmark.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Gold Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Gold and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase. The Fund's investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Consolidated Subsidiary.

The Fund invests in certain commodity-related investments through Fidelity Select Gold Cayman Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary (the "Subsidiary"). As of February 28, 2015, the Fund held an investment of $116,684,748 in the Subsidiary, representing 10.4% of the Fund's net assets.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

3. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

4. Significant Accounting Policies.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Annual Report

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - continued

4. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in commodities are valued at their last traded price at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the consolidated financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will

significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

The Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary's income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the consolidated financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), controlled foreign corporation, deferred trustees compensation, net operating losses, losses deferred due to wash sales and capital loss carryforwards.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Restricted Securities. The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $248,761,008 and $376,980,261, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease.

FMR, either through itself or through an affiliate provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary for which the Subsidiary pays a monthly management fee at the annual rate of .30% of its net assets. Under the management contract with the subsidiary, FMR pays all other expenses of the Subsidiary, except custodian fees.

For the reporting period, the total consolidated annual management fee rate which includes the management fee of the Fund and the Subsidiary was .58% of the Fund's average net assets.

During the period, the investment adviser waived a portion of the Fund's management fee representing the amount of the management fee paid by the Subsidiary to FMR as described in the Expense Reductions note.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $9,496 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,717 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds.

Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the Fund's custody expenses by $275.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Gold and Institutional Class expenses during the period in the amount of $7,613.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Fidelity Advisor Materials Fund - Institutional Class


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Tobias Welo, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Materials Fund: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares returned 2.49%, considerably trailing the 8.95% advance of the MSCI U.S. IMI Materials 25-50 Index and also lagging the S&P 500®. Disappointing growth in both developed and emerging economies resulted in deflationary trends that dampened returns in the materials sector. These trends included falling prices for most commodities - notably, crude oil - and a surging U.S. dollar, which often accompanies weakness in commodities. Versus the MSCI index, both stock selection and market selection hampered the fund's results. Our large overweighting in diversified chemicals firm FMC, the fund's biggest relative detractor, fell victim to less-favorable fundamentals than I anticipated. In FMC's case, it was the collapse of global grain prices and subsequent disappointing sales of the firm's pesticides and herbicides. I sold a little here but maintained most of the position. A non-index position in coal producer Peabody Energy - which I sold - also worked against us, as did a sizable overweighting in Eastman Chemical and not owning strong-performing index name Air Products and Chemicals. Conversely, the two largest relative contributors were paper packaging stocks Rock-Tenn and Graphic Packaging Holding.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

ATotal returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown. BTotal returns do not include the effect of the sales charges. CCalculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. DFees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. EAmount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. FInvestment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.83 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .41%. GExpense ratios reflect operating expenses of the class.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Materials Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Materials and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, in-kind transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), original issue discount, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 206,748 shares of the fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $17,590,149. The net realized gain of $6,050,156 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. The Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $22,792,169 in exchange for 267,891 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,260 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $171,277.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $20,813 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Materials expenses during the period in the amount of $7,087.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Fidelity Advisor Telecommunications Fund - Institutional Class


Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Matthew Drukker, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Advisor® Telecommunications Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Institutional Class shares rose 11.85%, underperforming the 12.66% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Telecommunications Services 25-50 Index and the S&P 500®. Telecom stocks had a strong absolute return, but they lagged the broad market due in part to a decline in consumer spending and a high debt-equity ratio for the sector. Further weighing on the sector were falling net profit margins, given continued competition among major wireless carriers - namely Verizon Communications, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile - and rising expenses at firms looking to expand and improve their networks. Despite these negative factors, increased demand for wireless helped support the sector, as did yield-hungry investors attracted to the dividends typically paid by telecom firms. From an industry perspective, the fund's positioning in wireless telecom services hurt the most versus the MSCI index. Looking at individual stocks, the fund's non-index position in U.K.-based Vodafone Group was the biggest relative detractor. The stock stumbled the past year amid the firm's announcement of disappointing fourth-quarter sales and expected declines in 2015 core earnings because of investment spending needed for its business. I sold a significant portion of our holdings in the stock during the period to invest in more-promising opportunities. On the flip side, positioning in alternative carriers was a plus, including an average overweighting in telecom and Internet service provider Level 3 Communications, the fund's biggest contributor and one of its largest holdings. I increased our stake in Level 3 to an overweighting as the period progressed, and its shares rose when the firm acquired competitor tw telecom in October and reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings in November.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Telecommunications and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transaction, in-kind transactions, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $369,250,039 and $374,869,443, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $16,650 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 198,779 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $12,187,185. The net realized gain of $2,885,287 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $615 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $241,214.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $27,389 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Telecommunications expenses during the period in the amount of $418.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Core Fund was the owner of record of approximately 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund. Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities (consolidated statement of assets and liabilities for Gold Portfolio), including the schedules of investments (consolidated schedule of investments for Gold Portfolio), and the related statements of operations (consolidated statement of operations for Gold Portfolio) and of changes in net assets (consolidated changes in net assets for Gold Portfolio) and the financial highlights (consolidated financial highlights for Gold Portfolio) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, Materials Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Consumer Staples Portfolio
Gold Portfolio
Materials Portfolio
Telecommunications Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance. Each of Consumer Staples Portfolio and Telecommunications Portfolio each underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended May 31, 2014, and as a result, the Board will continue to discuss with SelectCo the steps it is taking to address each fund's performance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of each fund, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the funds. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

For each of Consumer Staples Portfolio, Gold Portfolio, and Materials Portfolio, the Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of Telecommunications Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that each fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of each fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that, although the expense ratio of Class T of Telecommunications Portfolio was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, the total expense ratio of each class of each fund was reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Annual Report

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Robert Lee, Portfolio Manager of Consumer Staples Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares returned 22.27%, outperforming the 21.28% gain of its sector benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Consumer Staples 25-50 Index, and the S&P 500®. The sector put up a strong absolute return and outpaced the broader market, as long-term trends supported continued growth in consumer staples sales, even amid an increasingly challenging global macroeconomic backdrop. In addition, many companies remained focused on cost cutting, which helped account for decent earnings results, while merger-and-acquisition activity among a handful of names added a bit of a spark. Versus the MSCI index, food retail was a sweet spot for the fund the past year, with grocer Kroger by far our biggest contributor and one of our largest holdings. Shares of the grocery and retail giant steadily rose during the period, as consumers continued to gravitate toward its customer-friendly stores, which boasted a bevy of locations and discounted private-label goods. As a result, the company reported consecutive quarters of better-than-expected sales and earnings growth, including expanding revenue and profits. Whole Foods Market was another winner in this space, due to timely ownership. Elsewhere, Monster Beverage, which I added to the fund during the year, helped. The fund was overweighted the energy-drink manufacturer when its shares soared in August after beverage giant Coca-Cola acquired a 17% stake in the firm. As part of the new partnership, Coca-Cola transferred its energy drink lineup to Monster in exchange for Monster's non-energy drink business, to include its natural soft drinks and juices. The exchange gave Monster an immediate sales boost and expanded international presence. Additionally, the firm launched new energy products late in 2014, and it plans to expand its lineup and international expansion in 2015. On the flip side, the fund's stake in British American Tobacco (BAT), our largest position, hurt. Slowing sales of BAT's cigarette brands, as well as heightened competition from e-cigarette makers, caused the stock to decline. Stock selection in distillers & vintners also hurt, including non-index stakes in the U.K.'s Diageo and French firms Pernod Ricard and Remy Cointreau. Cognac had been a popular gift for Chinese government officials prior to 2013, but the category took a hit last year amid the country's crackdown on corruption that banned lavish gifts, including high-end spirits, for civil servants. This weighed on the earnings and sales of all three firms over the year. I sold Pernod from the fund by period end. Of note, the fund's cash position also hindered our relative result amid a strong market, as did some of its foreign investments due to an appreciating dollar.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Consumer Staples Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Consumer Staples and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing

Investment Valuation - continued

these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. The Fund is subject to a tax imposed on capital gains by certain countries in which it invests. An estimated deferred tax liability for net unrealized appreciation on the applicable securities is included in Other payables and accrued expenses on the Statement of Assets & Liabilities.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,618,121,721 and $1,046,857,746, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for

The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $14,678 for the period.

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 523,611 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $47,287,323. The net realized gain of $20,812,198 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

Exchanges In-Kind. During the period, certain investment companies managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates (Investing Funds) completed exchanges in-kind with the Fund. Then Investing Funds delivered cash and investments valued at $64,348,425 in exchange for 712,528 shares of the Fund. The amount of in-kind exchanges is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $3,649 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $366,992.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $9,955 for the period.

The investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Consumer Staples expenses during the period in the amount of $2,949.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 26% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Annual Report


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Consumer Staples 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 Consumer Staples Portfolio (a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Consumer Staples 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Consumer Staples Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the fund's investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance. The fund underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended May 31, 2014, and as a result, the Board will continue to discuss with SelectCo the steps it is taking to address the fund's performance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each class's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each class ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the total expense ratio of each class of the fund was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Annual Report

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from John Dowd, Portfolio Manager of Energy Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned -11.25%, underperforming the -9.18% return of its sector benchmark, the MSCI U.S. IMI Energy 25-50 Index, and the broadly based S&P 500®. Energy was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500® for the year, as crude oil prices dropped to a five-year low on global oversupply and weakening demand. Versus the MSCI benchmark, the fund was hurt by stock picks and an overweighting in equipment & services firms, including Weatherford International. I liked the stock as a turnaround story, but a drop in commodity prices hurt its performance. A focus on smaller, U.S.-focused companies with dominant shale positions, such as Noble Energy and Whiting Petroleum, also hurt, as these firms were hit hard by falling oil prices and the underperformance of small-cap stocks in general. Also, the fund's non-U.S. holdings detracted due in part to a stronger dollar. Conversely, stock selection in oil & gas storage and transportation helped, including non-index stakes in master limited partnerships MPLX, Valero Energy Partners and Phillips 66 Partners.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Benjamin Shuleva, Portfolio Manager of Energy Service Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned -27.82%, underperforming the -25.80% return of the MSCI U.S. IMI Energy Equipment & Services 25-50 Index, as well as the broadly based S&P 500®. It was a difficult period for energy service stocks, which came under pressure due to dramatic drops in crude oil prices. Versus the industry index, stock picks in oil & gas drilling hurt most, including an out-of-benchmark stake in Odfjell Drilling, a Norwegian well service and offshore drilling company. Odfjell's share price plummeted about 80%, as offshore day rates fell on an oversupply of offshore rigs and investor sentiment on energy-related stocks soured. The depreciation of the Norwegian krone relative to the U.S. dollar also weighed on its result. An overweighting in Vantage Drilling hurt, as it lost roughly three-quarters of its value. Underweighting compression and engine maker Dresser-Rand Group detracted, as the stock rose on a September acquisition bid by Siemens at the peak of the energy cycle. The stock was sold from the fund that same month. Conversely, my strategy worked with Frank's International and Oceaneering International, two high-quality offshore service providers with commanding market shares in their niche segments.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Ted Davis, Portfolio Manager of Natural Gas Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned -17.15%, underperforming the -14.33% return of the S&P® Custom Natural Gas Index and the broadly based S&P 500®. Natural gas stocks were affected by the collapse in energy markets over the past year. The primary cause of underperformance versus the industry benchmark was the steep drop in energy prices in the fourth quarter of 2014. The fund's negative impact was entirely isolated to our sizable underweighting in gas utilities, which massively outperformed energy stocks, as investors sought higher-dividend yields in the low-interest-rate environment. Among individual stocks, Canada's Encana and Texas-based Southwestern Energy were the biggest relative detractors. Non-U.S. holdings such as Encana dragged on performance because of the strength of the U.S. dollar. Contributors included an out-of-index stake in Boardwalk Pipeline Partners, a storage & transport company. An out-of-index stake in NiSource contributed, as did energy service firm Baker Hughes, which outperformed on news it would be acquired by rival Halliburton for a substantial premium.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

ATotal returns would have been lower if certain expenses had not been reduced during the applicable periods shown. BCalculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. CFees and expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds are not included in the Fund's expense ratio. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. DAmount does not include the portfolio activity of any underlying Fidelity Central Funds. EInvestment income per share reflects a large, non-recurring dividend which amounted to $.15 per share. Excluding this non-recurring dividend, the ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets would have been .47%. FExpense ratios reflect operating expenses of the Fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or reductions from other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the Fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of fee waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the Fund. GPortfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered in-kind. HFor the year ended February 29. IAmount represents less than $.01 per share. JTotal distributions of $.66 per share is comprised of distributions from net investment income of $.332 and distributions from net realized gain of $.324 per share. KNet realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share reflects proceeds received from litigation which amounted to $.03 per share. Excluding these litigation proceeds, the total return would have been 0.75%.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from John Dowd, Portfolio Manager of Natural Resources Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned -11.45%, underperforming the -9.58% return of its benchmark, the S&P® North American Natural Resources Sector Index, and the broadly based S&P 500®. Energy was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500® for the year, as crude oil prices dropped to a five-year low on global oversupply and weakening demand. Versus the industry benchmark, the fund was hurt by stock picks and an overweighting in equipment & services firms, including Weatherford International. I liked the stock as a turnaround story, but the drop in commodity prices hurt its performance. A focus on smaller, U.S.-focused companies with dominant shale positions, such as Noble Energy and Whiting Petroleum, also hurt, as these firms were hit hard by falling oil prices and the underperformance of small-cap stocks in general. At the same time, a sizable underweighting in benchmark heavyweight Exxon Mobil detracted, as the stock outperformed the benchmark. I increased the underweighting, selling Exxon by period end. The fund's non-U.S. holdings held back results due in part to a stronger dollar. Conversely, stock selection in oil & gas storage and transportation helped, including non-index stakes in master limited partnerships MPLX, Valero Energy Partners and Phillips 66 Partners.

The views expressed above reflect those of the portfolio manager(s) only through the end of the period as stated on the cover of this report and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio, and Natural Resources Portfolio (the Funds) are funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust). Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio and Natural Gas Portfolio are non-diversified funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Funds invest primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. Each Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between funds. The Natural Resources Portfolio may also invest in certain precious metals. Certain Funds' investments in emerging markets can be subject to social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Funds invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Funds' Schedules of Investments list each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of each Fund, but do not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, each Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Funds' Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of each Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing vendors or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds are valued by pricing vendors who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing vendors. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds' investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Funds determine the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Deferred Trustee Compensation. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) for the Funds, independent Trustees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are invested in a cross-section of Fidelity funds, are marked-to-market and remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting payable to the Trustees are included in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. Each Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to in-kind transactions, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), redemptions in kind, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation, market discount, capital loss carryforwards, and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Capital loss carryforwards are only available to offset future capital gains of the Funds to the extent provided by regulations and may be limited. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act), the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period and such capital losses are required to be used prior to any losses that expire. The capital loss carryforward information presented below, including any applicable limitation, is estimated as of fiscal period end and is subject to adjustment.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Funds less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Delayed Delivery Transactions and When-Issued Securities. During the period, the Funds transacted in securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued 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 securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, each applicable 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 value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Restricted Securities. The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of each applicable Fund's Schedule of Investments.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Funds' financial statements and related disclosures.

7. Security Lending.

Certain Funds lend portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, 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, the Funds may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Funds may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on each applicable Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented on each applicable Fund's Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Security lending activity was as follows:

In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio and Natural Resources 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 positions of Energy Portfolio, Energy Service Portfolio, Natural Gas Portfolio and Natural Resources Portfolio (funds of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Select Portfolios' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Energy Portfolio
Energy Service Portfolio
Natural Gas Portfolio
Natural Resources Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history. The Board noted that there was a portfolio management change for Energy Service Portfolio in February 2014.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance. Energy Service Portfolio underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended May 31, 2014, and as a result, the Board will continue to discuss with SelectCo the steps it is taking to address the fund's performance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of each fund's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the funds. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that each fund's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Annual Report

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that each fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the class' distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Matthew Drukker, Portfolio Manager of Telecommunications Portfolio: For the year, the fund's Retail Class shares rose 11.90%, underperforming the 12.66% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Telecommunications Services 25-50 Index and the S&P 500®. Telecom stocks had a strong absolute return, but they lagged the broad market due in part to a decline in consumer spending and a high debt-equity ratio for the sector. Further weighing on the sector were falling net profit margins, given continued competition among major wireless carriers - namely Verizon Communications, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile - and rising expenses at firms looking to expand and improve their networks. Despite these negative factors, increased demand for wireless helped support the sector, as did yield-hungry investors attracted to the dividends typically paid by telecom firms. From an industry perspective, the fund's positioning in wireless telecom services hurt the most versus the MSCI index. Looking at individual stocks, the fund's non-index position in U.K.-based Vodafone Group was the biggest relative detractor. The stock stumbled the past year amid the firm's announcement of disappointing fourth-quarter sales and expected declines in 2015 core earnings because of investment spending needed for its business. I sold a significant portion of our holdings in the stock during the period to invest in more-promising opportunities. On the flip side, positioning in alternative carriers was a plus, including an average overweighting in telecom and Internet service provider Level 3 Communications, the fund's biggest contributor and one of its largest holdings. I increased our stake in Level 3 to an overweighting as the period progressed, and its shares rose when the firm acquired competitor tw telecom in October and reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings in November.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class of the Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table for each class of the Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Class' actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Class' actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Telecommunications Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries. The Fund offers Class A, Class T, Class C, Telecommunications and Institutional Class shares, each of which, along with Class B shares, has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class B shares are closed to new accounts and additional purchases, except for exchanges and reinvestments. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of seven years from the initial date of purchase.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and 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 GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transaction, in-kind transactions, deferred trustees compensation, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $369,250,039 and $374,869,443, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $16,650 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 198,779 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed for investments with a value of $12,187,185. The net realized gain of $2,885,287 on investments delivered through in-kind redemptions is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets as well as Note 10: Share Transactions. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $615 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $241,214.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $27,389 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, including certain Telecommunications expenses during the period in the amount of $418.

11. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

At the end of the period, Strategic Advisers Core Fund was the owner of record of approximately 18% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund. Mutual funds managed by the investment adviser or its affiliates were the owners of record, in the aggregate, of approximately 20% of the total outstanding shares of the Fund.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total returns will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Kyle Weaver, Portfolio Manager of Wireless Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 7.55%, edging the 7.53% gain of the fund's benchmark, S&P® Custom Wireless Index, but trailing the S&P 500®. Versus the broader market, the wireless index was hampered by lagging results in its three main subindustries. Compared with the benchmark, avoiding weak-performing Brazil-based wireline and wireless services provider Oi for much of the period and then purchasing an underweighted stake in January paid off handsomely. The share price of RF Micro Devices more than doubled, driven by the success of Apple's iPhone® 6, which uses RF Micro's radio-frequency chips. In January, RF Micro and TriQuint Semiconductor merged to form a new company, Qorvo, in which the fund held a sizable stake at period end. I'll also mention wireless tower companies American Tower, SBA Communications and Crown Castle International, which jointly added considerable value. Conversely, a large underweighting in China Mobile, the largest wireless services provider in that nation, hampered relative performance, as this index component returned roughly 48%. Also weighing on performance was a non-index position in Web.com Group, a provider of Web hosting and website development services for smaller businesses, and Tangoe, a non-index provider of software and services for telecom spending management. Lastly, the fund's foreign holdings hampered performance mainly due to a strongly appreciating U.S. dollar.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Wireless Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Share transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets may contain exchanges between funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of February 28, 2015, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $133,087,289 and $169,693,214, respectively.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, 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 for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .23% of average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $5,431 for the period.

Annual Report

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Interfund Lending Program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Borrower or Lender

Average Loan
Balance

Weighted Average Interest Rate

Interest Expense

Borrower

$ 7,837,000

.32%

$ 278

6. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $432 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

7. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $292,516.

8. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $8,390 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses during the period in the amount of $951.

9. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds' Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds' Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds' activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds' business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds' exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds' activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds' Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds' Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Telecommunications Portfolio
Wireless Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for each fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to each fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of each fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew each fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to each fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of each fund); (ii) the competitiveness of each fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with each fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as each fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for each fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of each fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of each fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that each fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in that fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the funds, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the funds' investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of each fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for each fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, each fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether each fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for each fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance. Telecommunications Portfolio underperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended May 31, 2014, and as a result, the Board will continue to discuss with SelectCo the steps it is taking to address the fund's performance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for each fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the shareholders of each fund.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered each fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the charts below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The funds' actual TMG %s are in the charts below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the charts and considered by the Board.

Wireless Portfolio

sts252754

The Board noted that each fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that each fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that each fund receives and the other factors considered.

Annual Report

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the total expense ratio of each class of Telecommunications Portfolio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund or class expenses, as applicable, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, fund-paid 12b-1 fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of each class of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. Each class of the fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the total expense ratio of each of Class A, Class B, Class C, Institutional Class, and the retail class of Telecommunications Portfolio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the total expense ratio of Class T ranked above its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014. The Board considered that, in general, various factors can affect total expense ratios. The Board noted that the total expense ratio of Class T was above the competitive median primarily because of higher 12b-1 fees on Class T as compared to most competitor funds. Class T has a higher 12b-1 fee, but a lower front-end sales charge, than traditionally priced front-end sales charge classes. The Board considered that Class T is primarily sold load-waived in the retirement plan market where its 0.50% 12b-1 fee is comparable to competing no-load, higher 12b-1 fee classes designed specifically for retirement plans. The Board noted that each fund offers multiple classes, each of which has a different sales load and 12b-1 fee structure, and that the multiple structures are intended to offer a range of pricing options for the intermediary market. The Board also noted that the total expense ratios of the classes of each fund vary primarily by the level of their 12b-1 fees, although differences in transfer agent fees may also cause expenses to vary from class to class.

In its review of Wireless Portfolio's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that Wireless Portfolio's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that, although the expense ratio of Class T of Telecommunications Portfolio was above the median of the universe presented for comparison, the total expense ratio of each class of Telecommunications Portfolio and the total expense ratio of Wireless Portfolio were reasonable in light of the services that each fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing each fund and servicing each fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with each fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of each fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which each fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

Annual Report

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees - continued

The Board recognized that each fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). SelectCo calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that each fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual total return reflects the change in the value of an investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's distributions from dividend income and capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that have grown in value, if any) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report


Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Recap: The U.S. stock market closed near its all-time high for the 12 months ending February 28, 2015, supported by low interest rates and the relative strength of the U.S. economy and dollar. The large-cap S&P 500® Index returned 15.51%. Growth stocks in the index outperformed value-oriented names. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 16.58%, while the small-cap Russell 2000® Index advanced 5.63%, rallying from early-period weakness amid growth and valuation worries. Among the 10 major market sectors tracked by MSCI U.S. IMI 25-50 classifications, most notched a double-digit gain, led by health care (+24%), consumer staples (+21%), information technology (+20%) and utilities (+15%). Conversely, energy (-9%) was the only sector to lose ground, reflecting a sharp drop in crude prices beginning midyear and attributed to weaker global demand and a U.S. supply boom. Volatility spiked to a three-year high in October amid concerns about economic growth and Ebola, as well as unrest in Syria, Iraq and Ukraine. Nevertheless, the S&P 500® index finished the period well above its mid-October nadir, bolstered by the relative economic strength of the U.S., which marked a six-year low in its unemployment rate, and consumer confidence that declined only slightly from its 11-year high reached in January.

Comments from Douglas Simmons, Portfolio Manager of Utilities Portfolio: For the year, the fund returned 11.22%, underperforming the 15.13% gain of the MSCI U.S. IMI Utilities 25-50 Index, as well as the S&P 500®. The utilities sector, which typically pays higher dividends than most sectors, was attractive to yield-seeking investors in an environment of low-and-falling longer-term bond yields. Relative to the MSCI sector index, the fund's holdings of deregulated electric utilities, as well as an overweighting in independent power producers, hurt most. I invested in these growth-oriented segments thinking that they would eventually benefit from rising power prices, due partly to the shutdown of many coal-fired power plants, as well as proposed reforms that I believe will benefit the economics of low-cost power generators. That thesis is still intact, in my opinion, although it has yet to play out. Deregulated companies remained under pressure during the period amid falling prices for oil and natural gas that weighed on power pricing. In addition, declining bond yields attracted investors to more traditionally defensive, dividend-paying utilities, which the fund underweighted relative to its benchmark. Offsetting this underperformance to a degree was our significant non-benchmark stake in oil & gas storage & transport stocks, which included terminal operator Cheniere Energy and pipeline company Energy Transfer Equity, our two top performers. I overweighted oil & gas storage & transport, but significantly cut back on the stake due to commodity-price declines. I liked the high dividend growth offered by electric transmission companies, and increased the fund's weighting in electric utilities, although the group remained underweighted relative to the index. This was an area where our stock selection was unfavorable, including the two biggest detractors, an investment in Oklahoma electric utility OGE Energy and untimely ownership of Chicago-based Exelon. I significantly underweighted gas utilities because I found most of these stocks to be too expensive.

Annual Report


Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015).

Actual Expenses

The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. A small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 that is charged once a year may apply for certain accounts with a value of less than $2,000. This fee is not included in the table below. If it was, the estimate of expenses you paid during the period would be higher, and your ending account value lower, by this amount. In addition, the Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying Fidelity Central Funds, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying Fidelity Central Funds. These fees and expenses are not included in the Fund's annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Annual Report


Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended February 28, 2015

1. Organization.

Utilities Portfolio (the Fund) is a non-diversified fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios (the Trust) 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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies whose principal business activities fall within specific industries.

2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.

The Fund invests in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists each of the Fidelity Central Funds held as of period end, if any, as an investment of the Fund, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. As an Investing Fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.

The Money Market Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and are managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Annualized expenses of the Money Market Central Funds as of their most recent shareholder report date are less than .01%.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds, which are not covered by the Fund's Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the SEC website or upon request.

3. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund's investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees the Fund's valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee's activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing the Fund's investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Annual Report

3. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Valuation - continued

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Foreign Currency. The Fund may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign-denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date the Fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. As of February 28, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is the Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, the Fund claimed a portion of the payment made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, redemptions in kind, partnerships, deferred trustees compensation and losses deferred due to wash sales.

Trading (Redemption) Fees. Shares held by investors in the Fund less than 30 days may be subject to a redemption fee equal to .75% of the NAV of shares redeemed. All redemption fees, which reduce the proceeds of the shareholder redemption, are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

New Accounting Pronouncement. In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (the Update). The Update amends the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements for reverse repurchase agreements, securities lending and other similar transactions. The disclosure requirements are effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Update on the Fund's financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Derivative Instruments.

Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objective allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including futures contracts. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.

The Fund used derivatives to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its objectives.

The Fund's use of derivatives increased or decreased its exposure to the following risk:

Equity Risk

Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

The Fund is also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to the Fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded futures contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.

Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.

Annual Report

4. Derivative Instruments - continued

Futures Contracts. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specified underlying instrument for a fixed price at a specified future date. The Fund used futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with a clearing broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the face value of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and subsequent daily payments are made or received by a fund depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the futures contracts and are recorded as unrealized appreciation or (depreciation). This receivable and/or payable, if any, is included in daily variation margin for derivative instruments in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gain or (loss) is recorded upon the expiration or closing of a futures contract. The net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts during the period is included in the Statement of Operations.

Any open futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Futures Contracts." The underlying face amount at value reflects each contract's exposure to the underlying instrument or index at period end.

During the period the Fund recognized net realized gain (loss) of $(327,581) related to its investment in futures contracts. This amount is included in the Statement of Operations.

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Purchases and sales of securities other than short-term securities and in-kind transactions, aggregated $1,409,007,873 and $1,191,094,297, respectively.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (the investment adviser) and its affiliates provide the Fund with investment management related services for which the Fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the Fund's average net assets and an annualized group fee rate that averaged .25% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) and the investment adviser. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annual management fee rate was .55% of the Fund's average net assets.

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, 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 for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of .20% of average net assets.

Accounting and Security Lending Fees. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, maintains the Fund's accounting records. The accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for each month. Under a separate contract, FSC administers the security lending program. The security lending fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions.

Brokerage Commissions. The Fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment. Brokerage commissions are included in net realized gain (loss) and change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the Statement of Operations. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $20,066 for the period.

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 or other affiliated entities of FMR, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, there were no interfund loans outstanding. The Fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:

Borrower or Lender

Redemptions In-Kind. During the period, 197,773 shares of the Fund held by an affiliated entity were redeemed in kind for investments with a value of $14,338,554. The net realized gain of $2,658,037 on investments delivered through the in-kind redemption is included in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of in-kind redemptions is included in share transactions in the accompanying Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The Fund recognized no gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.

7. Committed Line of Credit.

The Fund participates with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The Fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which amounted to $1,281 and is reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Fund did not borrow on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.

The Fund lends portfolio securities through a lending agent from time to time in order to earn additional income. On the settlement date of the loan, the Fund receives collateral (in the form of U.S. Treasury obligations, letters of credit and/or cash) against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. The Fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Total security lending income during the period amounted to $55,762.

9. Expense Reductions.

Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of the Fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to the Fund to offset certain expenses. This amount totaled $52,119 for the period.

In addition, the investment adviser reimbursed a portion of the Fund's operating expenses, during the period in the amount of $866.

10. Other.

The Fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of Fidelity Select Portfolios and the Shareholders of Utilities 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 Utilities Portfolio (a fund of Fidelity Select Portfolios) at February 28, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Utilities 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards 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 February 28, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Annual Report


Trustees and Officers

The Trustees and officers of the trust and fund, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs the fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review the fund's performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Fund's Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees' commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing the fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board's conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the fund, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the fund. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The fund's Board oversees Fidelity's sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity's equity and high income funds, and Fidelity's investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, the fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the fund's activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the fund's business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the fund are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the fund's exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board's committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the fund's activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the fund's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo's internal auditor, the independent accountants, the fund's Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board's committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under "Standing Committees of the Fund's Trustees."

Annual Report


Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

Utilities Portfolio

Each year, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), votes on the renewal of the management contract with Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), an affiliate of Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements with affiliates of FMR (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel, requests and considers a broad range of information relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Contracts throughout the year.

The Board meets regularly and, at each of its meetings, covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts, including the services and support provided to the fund and its shareholders. The Board has established four standing committees (Committees) - Operations, Audit, Fair Valuation, and Governance and Nominating - each composed of and chaired by Independent Trustees with varying backgrounds, to which the Board has assigned specific subject matter responsibilities in order to enhance effective decision-making by the Board. The Operations Committee, of which all of the Independent Trustees are members, meets regularly throughout the year and considers, among other matters, information specifically related to the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board, acting directly and through its Committees, requests and receives information concerning the annual consideration of the renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts. The Board also meets as needed to consider matters specifically related to the Board's annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Contracts. Members of the Board may also meet with trustees of other Fidelity funds through ad hoc joint committees to discuss certain matters relevant to all of the Fidelity funds.

At its January 2015 meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously determined to renew the fund's Advisory Contracts. In reaching its determination, the Board considered all factors it believed relevant, including (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the fund and its shareholders (including the investment performance of the fund); (ii) the competitiveness of the fund's management fee and total expense ratio relative to peer funds; (iii) the total costs of the services to be provided by and the profits to be realized by Fidelity from its relationship with the fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale exist and would be realized as the fund grows; and (v) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale, if any, for the benefit of fund shareholders.

In considering whether to renew the Advisory Contracts for the fund, the Board reached a determination, with the assistance of fund counsel and Independent Trustees' counsel and through the exercise of its business judgment, that the renewal of the Advisory Contracts was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders and that the compensation payable under the Advisory Contracts was fair and reasonable. The Board's decision to renew the Advisory Contracts was not based on any single factor, but rather was based on a comprehensive consideration of all the information provided to the Board at its meetings throughout the year. The Board, in reaching its determination to renew the Advisory Contracts, was aware that shareholders of the fund have a broad range of investment choices available to them, including a wide choice among funds offered by Fidelity's competitors, and that the fund's shareholders, who have the opportunity to review and weigh the disclosure provided by the fund in its prospectus and other public disclosures, have chosen to invest in this fund, which is part of the Fidelity family of funds.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing of SelectCo and the sub-advisers (together with SelectCo, the Investment Advisers) as it relates to the fund, including the backgrounds of investment personnel of SelectCo, and also considered the fund's investment objectives, strategies, and related investment philosophies. The Independent Trustees also had discussions with senior management of Fidelity's investment operations and investment groups. The Board considered the structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the fund. Additionally, the Board considered the portfolio managers' investments, if any, in the funds that they manage.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the investment staff of the Investment Advisers, including its size, education, experience, and resources, as well as the Fidelity's approach to recruiting, training, managing, and compensating investment personnel. The Board noted that Fidelity has continued to increase the resources devoted to non-U.S. offices, including expansion of Fidelity's global investment organization. The Board also noted that Fidelity's analysts have extensive resources, tools and capabilities that allow them to conduct sophisticated quantitative and fundamental analysis, as well as credit analysis of issuers, counterparties and guarantors. Further, the Board believes that Fidelity's investment professionals have sufficient access to global information and data so as to provide competitive investment results over time, and that those professionals also have access to sophisticated tools that permit them to assess portfolio construction and risk and performance attribution characteristics continuously, as well as to transmit new information and research conclusions rapidly around the world. Additionally, in its deliberations, the Board considered Fidelity's trading, risk management, and compliance capabilities and resources, which are integral parts of the investment management process.

Shareholder and Administrative Services. The Board considered (i) the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency, pricing and bookkeeping, and securities lending services for the fund; (ii) the nature and extent of the supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians; and (iii) the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the fund's compliance policies and procedures. The Board also reviewed the allocation of fund brokerage, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, and the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research services.

Annual Report

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment in a Large Fund Family. The Board considered the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fidelity fund, including the benefits of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing a large variety of mutual fund investor services. The Board noted that Fidelity had taken, or had made recommendations that resulted in the Fidelity funds taking, a number of actions over the previous year that benefited particular funds, including (i) continuing to dedicate additional resources to investment research and to the support of the senior management team that oversees asset management; (ii) continuing efforts to enhance Fidelity's global research capabilities; (iii) launching new funds and making other enhancements to meet client needs for income-oriented solutions; (iv) reducing fund expenses for certain index funds; (v) continuing to launch dedicated lower cost underlying funds to meet portfolio construction needs related to expanding underlying fund options for Fidelity funds of funds, specifically for the Freedom Fund product lines; (vi) rationalizing product lines and gaining increased efficiencies through fund mergers; (vii) launching sector-based exchange-traded funds and establishing SelectCo to manage sector-based funds and products; (viii) continuing to develop, acquire, and implement systems and technology to improve security and services to the funds and to increase efficiency; (ix) modifying the eligibility criteria for certain share classes to increase their marketability to a portion of the defined contribution plan market; (x) waiving redemption fees for certain qualified fund-of-fund and wrap programs and certain retirement plan transactions; and (xi) launching new Institutional Class shares of certain money market funds to attract and retain assets and to fill a gap in money market fund offerings.

Investment Performance. The Board considered whether the fund has operated in accordance with its investment objective, as well as its record of compliance with its investment restrictions and its performance history.

The Board took into account discussions with representatives of the Investment Advisers about fund investment performance that occur at Board meetings throughout the year. In this regard the Board noted that as part of regularly scheduled fund reviews and other reports to the Board on fund performance, the Board considers annualized return information for the fund, for different time periods, measured against a securities market index ("benchmark index"). In its evaluation of fund investment performance at meetings throughout the year, the Board gave particular attention to information indicating underperformance of certain Fidelity funds for specific time periods and discussed with the Investment Advisers the reasons for such underperformance.

In addition to reviewing absolute and relative fund performance, the Independent Trustees periodically consider the appropriateness of fund performance metrics in evaluating the results achieved. In general, the Independent Trustees believe that fund performance should be evaluated based on net performance (after fees and expenses) of both the highest performing and lowest performing classes, where applicable, compared to appropriate benchmark indices, over appropriate time periods that may include full market cycles, taking into account relevant factors including the following: general market conditions; issuer-specific information; tactical opportunities for investment; and fund cash flows and other factors. Depending on the circumstances, the Independent Trustees may be satisfied with a fund's performance notwithstanding that it lags its benchmark index for certain periods.

The Independent Trustees recognize that shareholders evaluate performance on a net basis over their own holding periods, for which one-, three-, and five-year periods are often used as a proxy. For this reason, the performance information reviewed by the Board also included net cumulative total return information for the fund and an appropriate benchmark index for the most recent one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund's shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund's management fee and total expense ratio compared to "mapped groups" of competitive funds and classes created for the purpose of facilitating the Trustees' analysis of the competitiveness of management fees and total expenses. Fidelity creates "mapped groups" by combining similar Lipper investment objective categories that have comparable investment mandates. Combining Lipper investment objective categories aids the Board's management fee and total expense ratio comparisons by broadening the competitive group used for comparison and making the competitive group more inclusive.

Management Fee. The Board considered two proprietary management fee comparisons for the 12-month periods ended June 30 shown in the chart below. The group of Lipper funds used by the Board for management fee comparisons is referred to below as the "Total Mapped Group." The Total Mapped Group comparison focuses on a fund's standing in terms of gross management fees before expense reimbursements or caps relative to the total universe of funds with comparable investment mandates, regardless of whether their management fee structures also are comparable. Funds with comparable investment mandates offer exposure to similar types of securities. Funds with comparable management fee structures have similar management fee contractual arrangements (e.g., flat rate charged for advisory services, all-inclusive fee rate, etc.). "TMG %" represents the percentage of funds in the Total Mapped Group that had management fees that were lower than a fund's. For example, a hypothetical TMG % of 20% would mean that 80% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group had higher, and 20% had lower, management fees than a fund. The fund's actual TMG %s are in the chart below. The "Asset-Size Peer Group" (ASPG) comparison focuses on a fund's standing relative to a subset of non-Fidelity funds within the Total Mapped Group that are similar in size and management fee structure. For example, if a fund is in the first quartile of the ASPG, the fund's management fee ranks in the least expensive or lowest 25% of funds in the ASPG. The ASPG represents at least 15% of the funds in the Total Mapped Group with comparable asset size and management fee structures, subject to a minimum of 50 funds (or all funds in the Total Mapped Group if fewer than 50). Additional information, such as the ASPG quartile in which a fund's management fee rate ranked, is also included in the chart and considered by the Board.

uti83205

The Board noted that the fund's management fee rate ranked below the median of its Total Mapped Group and below the median of its ASPG for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund's management fee is fair and reasonable in light of the services that the fund receives and the other factors considered.

Total Expense Ratio. In its review of the fund's total expense ratio, the Board considered the fund's management fee as well as other fund expenses, such as transfer agent fees, pricing and bookkeeping fees, and custodial, legal, and audit fees. The Board also noted that Fidelity may agree to waive fees and expenses from time to time, and the extent to which, if any, it has done so for the fund. As part of its review, the Board also considered the current and historical total expense ratios of the fund compared to competitive fund median expenses. The fund is compared to those funds and classes in the Total Mapped Group (used by the Board for management fee comparisons) that have a similar sales load structure.

The Board noted that the fund's total expense ratio ranked below its competitive median for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Fees Charged to Other Fidelity Clients. The Board also considered Fidelity fee structures and other information with respect to clients of Fidelity, such as other funds advised or subadvised by Fidelity, pension plan clients, and other institutional clients.

Based on its review of total expense ratios and fees charged to other Fidelity clients, the Board concluded that the fund's total expense ratio was reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The Board considered the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by Fidelity in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund's shareholders. The Board also considered the level of Fidelity's profits in respect of all the Fidelity funds.

On an annual basis, Fidelity presents to the Board information about the profitability of its relationship with the fund. Fidelity calculates profitability information for each fund, as well as aggregate profitability information for groups of Fidelity funds and all Fidelity funds, using a series of detailed revenue and cost allocation methodologies which originate with the books and records of Fidelity on which Fidelity's audited financial statements are based. The Audit Committee of the Board reviews any significant changes from the prior year's methodologies.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), independent registered public accounting firm and auditor to Fidelity and certain Fidelity funds, has been engaged annually by the Board as part of the Board's assessment of the profitability analysis used by Fidelity. PwC's engagement includes the review and assessment of Fidelity's methodologies used in determining the revenues and expenses attributable to Fidelity's mutual fund business, and completion of agreed-upon procedures in respect of the mathematical accuracy of fund profitability and its conformity to established allocation methodologies. After considering PwC's reports issued under the engagement and information provided by Fidelity, the Board concluded that while other allocation methods may also be reasonable, Fidelity's profitability methodologies are reasonable in all material respects.

Annual Report

The Board also reviewed Fidelity's non-fund businesses and fall-out benefits related to the mutual fund business as well as cases where Fidelity's affiliates may benefit from or be related to the funds' business.

The Board considered the costs of the services provided by and the profits realized by Fidelity in connection with the operation of the fund and was satisfied that the profitability was not excessive.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board considered the extent to which the fund will benefit from economies of scale as assets grow through increased services to the fund, through waivers or reimbursements, or through fee or expense ratio reductions. The Board also noted that in 2013, it and the boards of other Fidelity funds created an ad hoc committee (the Economies of Scale Committee) to analyze whether Fidelity attains economies of scale in respect of the management and servicing of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds have appropriately benefited from such economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale.

The Board recognized that the fund's management contract incorporates a "group fee" structure, which provides for lower group fee rates as total group assets increase, and for higher group fee rates as total group assets decrease (with "group assets" defined to include fund assets under SelectCo's management plus assets under FMR's management). FMR calculates the group fee rates based on a tiered asset "breakpoint" schedule that varies based on asset class. The Board considered that the group fee is designed to deliver the benefits of economies of scale to fund shareholders when total group assets increase, even if assets of any particular fund are unchanged or have declined, because some portion of Fidelity's costs are attributable to services provided to all Fidelity funds, and all funds benefit if those costs can be allocated among more assets. The Board concluded that, given the group fee structure, fund shareholders will benefit from lower management fees as group assets increase at the fund complex level, regardless of whether Fidelity achieves any such economies of scale.

The Board concluded, taking into account the analysis of the Economies of Scale Committee, that economies of scale, if any, are being appropriately shared between fund shareholders and Fidelity.

Additional Information Requested by the Board. In order to develop fully the factual basis for consideration of the Fidelity funds' Advisory Contracts, the Board requested and received additional information on certain topics, including: (i) Fidelity's fund profitability methodology, profitability trends for certain funds, and the impact of certain factors on fund profitability results; (ii) portfolio manager changes that have occurred during the past year and the amount of the investment that each portfolio manager has made in the Fidelity fund(s) that he or she manages; (iii) Fidelity's compensation structure for portfolio managers, research analysts, and other key personnel, including its effects on fund profitability; (iv) the arrangements with and compensation paid to certain fund sub-advisers on behalf of the Fidelity funds; (v) Fidelity's fee structures, including the group fee structure and definition of group assets, and the rationale for recommending different fees among different categories of funds and classes; (vi) the methodology with respect to competitive fund data and peer group classifications; (vii) Fidelity's transfer agent fee, expense, and service structures for different funds and classes, and the impact of the increased use of omnibus accounts; and (viii) explanations regarding the relative total expense ratios of certain funds and classes, total expense competitive trends and methodologies for total expense competitive comparisons, and actions that might be taken by Fidelity to reduce total expense ratios for certain funds and classes or to achieve further economies of scale.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed.

The trust's Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by PwC to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of PwC in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from PwC, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Funds and their related entities and FMR's review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund's independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund ("Covered Service") are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair's absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X ("De Minimis Exception")

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds' last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
