**Supplement to the Fidelity Advisor Focus Funds® Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I, and Class Z September 29, 2025 Prospectus**

**Proposed Reorganization.** The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund and Financials Portfolio pursuant to which Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund would be reorganized on a tax-free basis with and into Financials Portfolio.

As a result of the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund would receive, respectively, corresponding shares of Financials Portfolio.

The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund in exchange for corresponding shares of Financials Portfolio equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund and the assumption by Financials Portfolio of all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund. After the exchange, Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund will distribute the Financials Portfolio shares to its shareholders pro rata, in liquidation of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund. As a result, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund will become shareholders of Financials Portfolio (these transactions are collectively referred to as the "Reorganization").

The Reorganization, which does not require shareholder approval, is expected to take place on or about August 14, 2026. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction. This means that neither Fidelity Advisor® Financials Fund nor its shareholder will recognize any gain or loss as a direct result of the Reorganization.

Effective after the close of business on the business day prior to the Reorganization, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund's Reorganization takes place.

 *For more detailed information, please contact Fidelity at 1-877-208-0098.*

**Proposed Reorganization.** The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Advisor Series VII has unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization ("Agreement") between Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund and Health Care Portfolio pursuant to which Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund would be reorganized on a tax-free basis with and into Health Care Portfolio.

As a result of the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund would receive corresponding shares of Health Care Portfolio.

The Agreement provides for the transfer of all of the assets of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund in exchange for corresponding shares of Health Care Portfolio equal in value to the net assets of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund and the assumption by Health Care Portfolio of all of the liabilities of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund. After the exchange, Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund will distribute the Health Care Portfolio shares to its shareholders pro rata, in liquidation of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund. As a result, shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund will become shareholders of Health Care Portfolio (these transactions are collectively referred to as the "Reorganization").

A Special Meeting (the "Meeting") of the Shareholders of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund is expected to be held during the second quarter of 2026 and approval of the Agreement will be voted on at that time. A combined proxy statement and prospectus containing more information with respect to the Reorganization will be provided to shareholders of record of Fidelity Advisor® Health Care Fund in advance of the meeting.

If the Agreement is approved at the Meeting and certain conditions required by the Agreement are satisfied, the Reorganization is expected to take place on or about June 26, 2026. If shareholder approval of the Agreement is delayed due to failure to meet a quorum or otherwise, the Reorganization will become effective, if approved, as soon as practicable thereafter.

Effective after the close of business on the business day prior to the Reorganization, new positions in the fund may no longer be opened. Existing shareholders may continue to hold their shares and purchase additional shares through the reinvestment of dividend and capital gain distributions until the fund's Reorganization takes place.

*The foregoing is not a solicitation of any proxy. For a free copy of the Proxy Statement describing the Reorganization (and containing important information about fees, expenses and risk considerations) and a Prospectus for Health Care Portfolio please call 1-877-208-0098. The prospectus/proxy statement is expected to be available on or about March 16, 2026 and will also be available for free on the Securities and Exchange Commission's web site (www.sec.gov).*
