Fund Summary

Fund/Class:
Gold Portfolio
/Gold Portfolio

Investment Objective

The fund seeks 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

(fees paid directly from your investment)  None 

Annual Operating Expenses

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

Management fee    0.55% 
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) fees    None 
Other expenses    0.28% 
Acquired fund fees and expenses(a)    0.04% 
Total annual operating expenses    0.87% 
Fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement(a)    0.03% 
Total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement    0.84% 

(a)  The fund may invest in a wholly-owned subsidiary. The subsidiary has entered into a separate contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), an affiliate of Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), the fund's investment adviser, for the management of its portfolio pursuant to which the subsidiary pays FMR a fee at an annual rate of 0.30% of its net assets. The subsidiary also pays certain other expenses including custody fees. SelectCo has contractually agreed to waive the fund's management fee in an amount equal to the management fee paid to FMR by the subsidiary. This arrangement will remain in effect for at least one year from the effective date of the prospectus, and will remain in effect thereafter as long as FMR's contract with the subsidiary is in place. If FMR's contract with the subsidiary is terminated, SelectCo, in its sole discretion, may discontinue the arrangement.

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:

1 year  $86 
3 years  $268 
5 years  $466 
10 years  $1,037 

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 28% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

  • Normally investing primarily in common stocks and in certain precious metals.
  • Investing primarily in companies engaged in exploration, mining, processing, or dealing in gold, or to a lesser degree, in silver, platinum, diamonds, or other precious metals and minerals.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in securities of companies principally engaged in gold-related activities, and in gold bullion or coins.
  • Investing up to 25% of assets in gold and other precious metals through a wholly-owned subsidiary.
  • Potentially investing in other precious metals, instruments whose value is linked to the price of precious metals, and securities of companies that manufacture and distribute precious metal and minerals products (such as jewelry, watches, and metal foil and leaf) and companies that invest in other companies engaged in gold and other precious metal and mineral-related activities.
  • 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, particularly emerging 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. Emerging markets can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory, and political uncertainties and can be extremely volatile. Foreign exchange rates also can be extremely volatile.
  • Gold Industry Concentration.  The gold industry can be significantly affected by international monetary and political developments such as currency devaluations or revaluations, central bank movements, economic and social conditions within a country, trade imbalances, or trade or currency restrictions between countries, as well as supply and demand for gold and operational costs associated with mining.
  • Subsidiary Risk.  Investment in an unregistered subsidiary is not subject to the investor protections of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act) and is subject to the risks associated with the gold industry. Changes in tax and other laws could negatively affect investments in the subsidiary.
  • 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. The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

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.
