01.31 Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund PRO-02 | Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund

Fund Summary

Fund:
Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund

Investment Objective

The fund seeks high total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

Fee Table

The following table describes the fees and expenses that may be incurred when you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees

Shareholder Fees {- Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund}	01.31 Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund PRO-02 Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund USD ($)
(fees paid directly from your investment)	none

Annual Operating Expenses

(expenses that you pay each year as a % of the value of your investment)

Annual Operating Expenses {- Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund}	01.31 Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund PRO-02 Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund-Default
Management fee (fluctuates based on the fund's performance relative to a securities market index)	0.35%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees	none
Other expenses	0.22%
Total annual operating expenses	0.57%

This example helps compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other funds.

Let's say, hypothetically, that the annual return for shares of the fund is 5% and that your shareholder fees and the annual operating expenses for shares of the fund are exactly as described in the fee table. This example illustrates the effect of fees and expenses, but is not meant to suggest actual or expected fees and expenses or returns, all of which may vary. For every $10,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses if you sell all of your shares at the end of each time period indicated:

Sell All Shares

Expense Example {- Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund}	01.31 Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund PRO-02 Fidelity® Telecom and Utilities Fund Fidelity Telecom and Utilities Fund-Default USD ($)
1 year	$ 58
3 years	183
5 years	318
10 years	$ 714

Portfolio Turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund's portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

• Normally investing primarily in common stocks.

• Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of telecommunications services companies and utility companies.

• Investing in domestic and foreign issuers.

• Using fundamental analysis of factors such as each issuer's financial condition and industry position, as well as market and economic conditions, to select investments.

Principal Investment Risks

• Stock Market Volatility. Stock markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Different parts of the market, including different market sectors, and different types of securities can react differently to these developments.

• Foreign Exposure. Foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market.

• Utilities Industry Concentration. The utilities industries can be significantly affected by government regulation, interest rate changes, financing difficulties, supply and demand of services or fuel, intense competition, natural resource conservation, and commodity price fluctuations.

• Issuer-Specific Changes. The value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than, and can perform differently from, the market as a whole.

In addition, the fund is considered non-diversified and can invest a greater portion of assets in securities of a smaller number of individual issuers than a diversified fund. As a result, changes in the market value of a single investment could cause greater fluctuations in share price than would occur in a more diversified fund.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. You could lose money by investing in the fund.

Performance

The following information is intended to help you understand the risks of investing in the fund. The information illustrates the changes in the performance of the fund's shares from year to year and compares the performance of the fund's shares to the performance of a securities market index and an additional index over various periods of time. The indexes have characteristics relevant to the fund's investment strategies. Index descriptions appear in the Additional Index Information section of the prospectus. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not an indication of future performance.
